As business accelerates, integrated and flexible communications become vital. Embracing UCaaS leverages the power of today’s networks to create a communications environment that supports innovation and collaboration.

1. MAKING THE
CONNECTIONThe power of next generation communications… and the
pressure this adds to your network

2. Effective communications have
always been the lifeblood of a
successful business.

3. But, as customer service and product innovation
accelerate - and teams become decentralised -
flexible and reliable Unified Communications is
now an essential requirement.

Mobile First
UC

18. Until now, the delivery
of UC services has
meant using a range
of different platforms
for voice, data and
video.

19. Until now, the delivery
of UC services has
meant using a range
of different platforms
for voice, data and
video.
UC is moving towards
more mobile-first
services which use
native apps to replace
PBX with a single
number, able to handle
all types of
communication.

20. #5G
The network
of tomorrow.

21. The development of the mobile-first
approach will expand as 5G approaches,
allowing users to seamlessly move from
one device to another to continue their
conversations or collaborations.
Networks will increasingly need to focus
on supporting mobile devices to expand
and extend their support of UCaaS.

22. 5G is an opportunity
for a new way of
servicing customers,
but also adds
complexity.

23. This, alongside modern applications having an
ever-increasing hunger for bandwidth, will
significantly boost the bandwidth requirements
across the network, leading to a potential
higher spend.
Extending an existing
MPLS solution with
SD-WAN can help
ensure that you are
getting value for money
out of your network.

24. How?
Businesses already
understand how their
MPLS network provides
the backbone of their
enterprise’s network
capability.

25. Why
SD-WAN?
Before spending money on
bandwidth increases you need to
ask yourself, are you using your
current bandwidth effectively?
Would segregating MPLS and
direct-to-web services, for
example, provide a value for
money alternative? How about
separating voice and video from
browsing and web applications?

26. So...
SD-WAN can free up an MPLS
network to carry business-
critical applications, ensuring
non-critical, non-MPLS traffic is
intelligently routed direct-to-web
and providing UC applications
access to sufficient MPLS
bandwidth to deliver the best
possible user experience. This
can be done with any existing
links, such as redundant or
backup links or with new, lower
cost links.

27. Transforming
Business
through UC

28. Transforming
Business
Integrating communications
systems to deliver scalable
and secure services
enables businesses to
innovate quickly.

29. Transforming
Business
Remote working practices
are now the norm.
Only UCaaS can offer
communications systems
that are flexible enough to
meet the demands
of this new working
environment.

30. Transforming
Business
Embracing UC enables
businesses to streamline
processes, which ultimately
increase efficiencies and
reduce costs.
The superior reliability
of UCaaS is now the
cornerstone of modern
agile enterprises.

31. Network complexity is
only increasing
More intelligence
is required in the
network to prioritise
critical applications
You need to get the
network right when
considering UCaaS
SD-WAN isn’t
a replacement
for MPLS, it adds
value to it
