Why Collaboration Is Easier With UC

New innovations have changed the way people do business, communicate with each other, and share things. Unified Communications (UC) is just a natural progression of the VoIP enabled communication system. With it, one can transition from one application to another within seconds and that is exactly what professionals need today. To increase the pace of completing tasks, access to instant messaging and social media on the same platform is necessary. This is the reason behind increasing demand for UC in enterprises.

Collaboration is possible only when multiple people will work together and use multiple applications to do the task. That is what UC actually does, so with development in UC, collaboration is also becoming easier. How? Let us take a quick look.

Access To Better Applications

UC is not an application but it is aligning multiple applications to do functions that will give singular experience. As UC is not itself an application, its performance depends on how the standalone applications perform. The different workplace applications have improved over time. Thus, UC offerings have increased and so has collaboration. As applications are better than before, teams will not be slowed down from that.

More Affordable Applications

The Cloud has changed the way people use the Internet. Hybrid and cloud offerings are more affordable than before. As technology becomes affordable, businesses can now have UC implemented at their places that make collaboration easier. Thus, now that there are tools that are more affordable and UC platforms have become richer, the scope of collaboration too has widened.

Enterprises are able to support their staff all over the world and regardless of geography, teamwork has become more viable. The better UC platforms will be in future, the outcome of collaboration will be better too.

More Ways To Stay In Touch

Different components of UC are telephony, email, video, Web chat, chat/messaging, and IM. There are different options available for each mode. Now, an employee can use any option for each of these modes, like for email, they can choose to use their desktop or laptop or check email from their Smartphone. The same is true for messaging and other options as well.

Apart from communicating with each other, there is an increase in different modes of sharing files, and conferencing too. For example, you can do video conference through Skype or VoIP conference. Thus, UC has made all these possible and in turn, collaboration has become easier. There are more ways for employees to communicate with each other, share files, and show presence.

Overcome Distance With Video

Collaboration is needed more in enterprises that are decentralized. Employees at offices in different parts of the country need to communicate with each other. To complete any assignment, experts from different locations may be required. To get them in one place to do the work would be costly.

Now that video conferencing is common, people from remote places can get connected to the team working downtown. With video, one can overcome the boundary limits and work freely with each other from any place. UC has made videos more functional with the integration of other applications such as IM, presence, file sharing, etc. Collaboration has become much easier regardless of the places where the employees are located.

Employees Are More Tech Savvy

Finally, collaboration is easier with UC because now employees are more tech savvy than earlier. It is obvious that both tech savvy employees and advancement in technology go hand in hand. If technology would have stopped at the telephone, employees would have knowledge about that only. As there is an advancements in technology, employees have learned them and being tech savvy, implementing UC has become easier.

Thus, with employees having better knowledge of handling these advanced applications, UC have emerged. It has now proved to be more helpful for collaboration throughout the world.
