Unified Communications
By bringing voice, messaging and data platforms together, Unified Communications (UC) has changed the way global business do business. Your workers and customers can now collaborate instinctively and communicate effectively through any platform at any time. This means your organisation can become more streamlined and cost effective than it’s ever been.
UC also dramatically reduces a company’s environmental impact thanks to video conferencing, Microsoft OCS and VoIP conferencing. This means your staff’s need for travel will be reduced significantly.
Carter Allen Unified Communications is truly unique. As a premium Microsoft partner we’re able to offer the full range of Microsoft Office 2010 Unified Communications suites, and deliver it over SIPCOM’s fully hosted IP platform. This enables our customers to have a true Unified Communications service.
When we start working with you, we’ll start by gaining an understanding of your business processes, so we can pull together your most effective set of collaboration tools. This could include anything from instant messaging to desktop share.
Our relationship with SIPCOM enables us to utilise their global network in order to provide leading edge UC services. We’ve received the full training offered by their partner programme which means we are able to make the most effective recommendations from their technology and services portfolio.
