Unified Communications is a new name for a group of technologies that have been around for quite some time. In the last few years these building blocks have evolved and this new name has emerged. Unified Communications for NEC converges and integrates all forms of communications – including Presence, Telephony, Instant Messaging, Unified Messaging, Conferencing and Collaboration - resulting in improved productivity and efficiency by enabling you to communicate effectively.
In a lot of cases, you can enable Unified Communications on the systems that you have in place today. A common misconception is that you need to rip or replace your current systems to take advantage of Unified Communications.
The hardest part is understanding how to integrate these systems with Unified Communications to maximise their potential and realise the efficiencies they can bring your business. In this White Paper we:
- Explore each of the key components of Unified Communications (including presence and messaging) to help you understand what you need, how it will ‘change your day’, and how it integrates with Microsoft systems and software.
- Focus on the integration of Office Communications Server, Exchange and Active Directory.
- Explain how to integrate and deploy Unified Communications successfully.
- Demonstrate how much Unified Communications can save you (ROI). Unified Communications is made up of a lot of individual components and most are mix and match. It is important that you choose what makes business sense, you enable what you need and you get the most out of the technology that is right for you. This is the benefit of Unified Communications.
