3 What is Unified Communications & Collaboration? Unified Communications & Collaboration (UCC) or Unified Communications (UC) has become the inclusive name for a converging set of voice, data, and video infrastructure services that integrate with common business applications to reduce typical communication bottlenecks. UC links communication technologies (e.g. voice) with collaboration services (e.g., , calendaring, instant messaging and presence) to improve information workers ability to interact with co-workers more quickly and effortlessly. Functionality enabled by session initiation protocol (SIP) eliminates communication channel silos and provides services like presence, integrated messaging, multimodal conferencing, desktop call control, and asynchronous collaboration integration to accelerate business responsiveness. Unified Communications is enabled through close integration and seamless user experience across three historically siloed areas Network Infrastructure Mobility and Collaboration and Communication.
4 What is Unified Communications? The analysts view With Unified Communications (UC), workers collaborate with colleagues anywhere to solve business problems on an immediate basis* UC solutions eliminate technology silos and integrate applications to provide richer functionality for existing desktop and communication applications* *Forrester November 2006 UC enables users, from the desktop and from any business application, to choose to , voice call, video call or IM through one click, without having to leave the application. UC enables users to collaborate and conference though a choice of communications medium, and to hold "virtual" meetings regardless of the location of the participants and benefiting from their known state or presence Infrastructure, Mobility and the Desktop/Application need to work together to provide Unified Communications Gartner defines UC products (equipment, software and services) as those that enhance individual, workgroup and organizational productivity by enabling and facilitating the control, management, integration and use of multiple enterprise communication methods. UC products achieve this through the convergence and integration of communication channels (that is, media), networks, systems and business applications, as well as through the consolidation of controls over them. UC products may be made up of a stand-alone product suite or a portfolio of integrated applications and platforms.
