Unified Communications Consulting

A frequently offered definition for Unified Communications (UC) is “communications-enabled business processes”.  Simply stated UC is the effective use of technology to improve your business processes, enhance collaboration, and ultimately increase productivity and profitability. UC is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution bought off the shelf and inserted into your suite of business tools. Gaining real benefit from UC in your enterprise requires an understanding of your business processes.

A clear awareness of who will benefit from the adoption of unified communications tools is necessary. Not every member of your organization will benefit equally. Mobile workers, sales organizations, heavy users of phone and messaging, and IT staff may derive the greatest benefit from the deployment of UC. Careful analysis and planning is vital to ensure your enterprise will derive the desired productivity gains and return on your investment.

Training and effective change management is often neglected but an integral piece of your UC strategy. Providing focused training fosters comfort and familiarity with the tools and processes to enhance the transition to Unified Communications.  Effective training and change management will ensure that employees recognize how their business processes can be improved using these new tools.  Properly applied, the technologies that support unified communications can be transformational and bring additional efficiencies and productivity to your business processes.
