Cloud computing has emerged to become one of the most innovative new technologies in years, dramatically transforming the way people accomplish practically every function. This is especially true in the business world, where the cloud has proven to be one of the most beneficial technologies to perhaps ever exist.
One of the biggest advantages of the cloud for businesses is the ability to utilize the Internet for improved, near-time communication, allowing companies to access the benefits of tools like unified communications to integrate a variety of channels into one convenient portal. UC provides a variety of advantages to enterprises, but the top four are below:
Unified communications platforms provide enterprises with many benefits.1) Combination power
The biggest benefit of unified communications is the unified aspect. By integrating previously disparate tools like telephony, fax for business, and data on a single network, multiple different communication channels can be seamlessly and conveniently combined, saving businesses time and money by eliminating the need to manage and compile each piece of data separately, as they once did in the past.
2) Increased productivity
The single platform offered by a UC solution makes it much easier for employees to manage and operate their separate communication channels, improving efficiency and increasing productivity by significant margins.
3) Advanced functions
UC software is often much more advanced than its traditional counterparts, especially in terms of telephony solutions. Businesses can access the most up-to-date features and functions as soon as the arrive as software can be easily updated in the cloud.
4) Contact management
UC makes integrating extensive business contact lists so much simpler than before by offering users a sole, easily accessible contact book for everyone in the organization to utilize. The now virtual phone book can be accessed from any location with an Internet connection and on a wide variety of devices.
"Fax is often overlooked when it comes to UC, but FoIP modernizes the process."
An important addition to any unified communications solution is a function that is often overlooked: faxing. Many industries still consider faxes to be an essential business tool, but the process is becoming outdated and needs to be modernized. With fax-over-IP, however, a company's faxing capabilities can be integrated into the same centralized messaging platform as other communication channels. FoIP sends faxes over the Internet via a cloud platform and can add many valuable benefits to a UC platform.
