Businesses today are suffering from communication and information overload. Unified Communications was created to try to simplify the business worker’s experience. It provides a single point of contact for managing the complexities of implementing and managing a next generation network infrastructure.

Unified Communications solutions include some or all of the following components:

User Mobility

Rich Presence

Telephony (voice, fax, etc.)

Voicemail/unified messaging

Email/calendaring

Conferencing (voice, video and web)

Instant messaging

Administration and management

Contact center

Unified Communications solutions offer great benefits but require careful lifecycle management. Unless the entire delivery chain is managed proactively, a problem in any area can create immediate performance impact for end-users. This leads to loss of confidence in the service and often prevents the company from seeing a full return on its IT investment. Unified Communications management is an ongoing cycle of tasks — from planning to careful infrastructure monitoring during the change process, to continuing optimization and troubleshooting after deployment. Many companies that start with pilot projects will abort or stall full-scale deployment because they lack the management tools that would enable their successful completion.

At Vaktech, we can help you to successfully bring together voice, e-mail, voicemail, video/data/audio conferencing, collaboration and mobile technologies on a single unified communications platform.
