SpeechStorm understands their customers needs. Throughout these slides we cover the 5 fears businesses have been facing when introducing a new IVR system.
The key questions are:
1.) What is the customer reaction to IVR?
2.) Will I be able to use it in my organisation?
3.) Is it proven?
4.) Are there cost savings?
5.) How flexible is the system?
The term 'Hosted PBX' or 'Virtual PBX' is widely used to describe modern business telephony, or digital telephone, service. However, what exactly does that entail? In a Hosted PBX scenario, both voice and Internet services are delivered over a single local loop circuit utilizing the Internet Protocol. Voice calls are prioritized and delivered over our securely managed BroadConnect private network running the session initiation protocol (SIP) for Voice over IP (VoIP).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

4. Unified Communications
Unified communications means joined-up thinking. This integrated
system of instant messaging and presence, audio, video and web
conferencing, telephony and voicemail means you can communicate and
collaborate with colleagues, customers or suppliers; anytime, anywhere.
With one system for all your communications across your organisation,
you can improve productivity, increase cost effectiveness and
reduce frustration.
In an increasingly mobile world, why would you do it any other way?
Improved productivity - Unified communications allows you to communicate in real-time, so teams can collaborate
more effectively and make decisions faster.
Lower communication costs - Removing the need for different communications systems, unified communications makes
it simpler and more affordable to work together.
Reduced business expenditure - You can reduce travel costs and downtime by holding meetings online.
Enable remote working - Access rich communication services from practically anywhere with an internet connection.
Users can work from home, on the road or from remote offices to maximise flexibility and productivity.

partners and, most importantly, customers wherever they are, helping you reduce costs while increasing productivity and

5. Contact Centres
Communication has changed. Your increasingly technologyaware customers expect to be able to communicate with you
whenever they want, wherever they are, using their choice of
channel and device.
Unify can offer a total solution for any organisation looking to boost the performance of their contact centre
operation and put customers at the heart of their business. On-premise or hosted, the tools and information
needed to improve response times, control costs and proactively manage performance across the business
are put right at your fingertips.
Multi-channel contact centre solutions - Every customer should receive the same level of service whether
they contact you by phone, email, chat, social media or SMS. Unhappy customers don’t hang around – they
simply hang up or log-off. Multi-channel queuing lets you route, manage and measure all types of contacts
using one workflow engine. It’s a better experience for everyone.
Workforce optimisation (WFO) - A highly sophisticated suite of tools for managing resources within your
contact centre across all channels, media and skills. WFO not only allows you to predict incoming call volumes
and manage shift patterns, it incorporates performance and quality management, compliance and analytics.
Keep your finger on the pulse and manage your contact centres with ease.
Inbound services and call routing - First impressions count. You can improve your first call resolution by
matching agent skills and experience to the queues, delivering each call to the most appropriately skilled
agent available. You can pick out your VIP customers, and callback options mean you may never miss an
opportunity again.
Call recording, speech analytics and quality management - Unify’s recording solutions can help you
to address compliance, sales verification and dispute resolution challenges. In addition our speech analytics
solutions can help you to discover key insights into your customer experience. Stay compliant and motivate staff.

6. Connectivity
With today’s increasing demands on customer networks, it’s
more important than ever that you have a connectivity solution
that suits your business.
At Unify we work with you to understand your business
needs and goals. We analyse your existing networks and then,
supported by a comprehensive service offering from the UK’s
leading carriers and service providers, we create a tailored
solution that will be more resilient, more productive, more
flexible and more cost-effective than your existing one.
Internet connectivity - With over one billion
Internet users, it can be difficult to ensure a fast,
consistently available Internet service. Unify’s high
speed, reliable and scalable Internet connectivity
more than rises to the challenge, offering speeds
from 2Mb up to 10Gb, and Internet access available
via DSL, SDH and Ethernet.
SIP Trunking - The biggest motivation for most
organisations is immediate and substantial cost
savings. When compared to a standard public
switched telephone network (PSTN) line, it’s nearly
50% more cost effective.
Inbound/Outbound call services - Choosing the
correct numbers for your business is crucial, with
so many to choose from what numbers should you
use? One of our experienced team will identify the
best fit with your company to ensure you are able to
maximise your business potential.
Fixed voice lines - Unify Communications partner
only with tier 1 carriers, so you can be sure your
voice traffic is carried by a resilient network.
You will benefit from our highly competitive call
rates without ever compromising on quality or
customer service.
MPLS - Your network can be designed to meet the
specialist needs of your individual business.
Using leading tier 1 carriers, the high speed
connectivity provided by MPLS will carry your
communications quickly, effectively and securely.
And, for further peace of mind, MPLS offers flexible
and dynamic routing when enhanced service
options are deployed.
Hosted Telephony - Unify Communicator is aimed
at a variety of target audiences; by size it is ideal
for companies with 3-50 employees in a head
office with 2 or more sites that work together.
Unify Communicator is capable of running a 200+
employee system should your business growth
require it.
Mobile - The mobile phone made the transition
from boy’s toy and fashion accessory to
technologically advanced business tool a long time
ago. Like any tool, you need the right one to do the
job properly. Let one of our experts help you choose
the right device for your needs.
Unify’s international coverage extends across 230 countries including the Middle East. And our Londonbased data centre is located within the UK’s largest purpose-built secure facility, so if your business is looking
for secure hosting and resilient connectivity, Unify can provide just what you need.
