1 Singtel Business Product Factsheet Managed Unified Communications-as-a-Service Defense Services The Future of Business Collaboration. Delivered. Looking to meet changing business communications needs but mired in complex infrastructure? Singtel Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) addresses your needs with a unified, enterprise-grade cloud-based platform that enables users to communicate seamlessly regardless of location, network, or device, creating a connected and responsive organisation.

2 Unified Communications-as-a-Service Are you prepared for the new era of business communications? An increasingly mobile workforce, a growing international presence, and a rapidly-changing communications landscape these are some of the factors that businesses need to take into account as they seek to adopt the latest tools for effective communication and collaboration. Unfortunately, this is where their existing communications infrastructure often falls short. With the traditional approach of implementing in-house communications systems, it is often difficult to keep pace with the dynamic requirements of today s businesses. Long procurement cycles mean that businesses only get access to the tools they need, long after they first needed it. The integration of new systems to add new capabilities makes the communications infrastructure unwieldy and difficult to manage. This is further complicated by the proliferation of devices and the need to build and maintain infrastructure to support multiple sites across different geographical locations. Singtel UCaaS simplifies the future of business collaboration Singtel UCaaS helps you overcome these challenges and provides you with a platform to address rapidly-changing business and communications trends. It integrates multiple communications and collaboration capabilities into a single cloud platform, allowing your business to take advantage of the latest technologies and tools without the hassle of deploying and managing your own infrastructure. The offering builds on the strength of Singtel s voice, data and cloud capabilities, and extends it into the mobile space for true Fixed-Mobile-Cloud-Convergence. For IT, this represents a simplified and cost-effective communications environment that reduces the need for time-consuming system management and helps rein in spiraling mobile costs. For end users, it translates into a seamless communications experience with access to the latest tools to help them to collaborate more effectively. And for the business as a whole, the pay-as-you-use model means that you no longer have to invest in new systems or in costly licences and upgrades. More importantly, better communications and more connected employees result in increased productivity, faster decision-making and shorter time to market for new products and services.
