Every firm, company or enterprise with distributed data and voice networks is looking for ways to control costs and increase efficiency. To achieve these goals, businesses need to integrate both voice and data onto a single, converged network to reduce costs and improve productivity. A converged voice and data network is the foundation for Unified Communications (UC), which fosters productivity through mobility and collaboration. Mobile technology allows users to work smarter with simple, end-to-end solutions that combine time-saving communication tools that boost user performance, such as virtual private networks and wireless applications. UC also promotes effective collaboration by connecting people with the right resources the first time, thereby increasing productivity. This paper examines the value of UC applications, tools and technologies to provide guidance for pain-free migration to a more efficient and high-performance business environment.
Delivering a UC Experience - Migration vs. IntegrationWainhouse Research
A well-implemented and fully-adopted UC solution delivers benefits to end users, IT teams, and the enterprise alike. Of course, the terms “well-implemented” and “full-adopted” are more often found in UC roadmaps and strategy presentations, and less often in live production environments. This SlideShare provides a comparison between two common approaches to UC deployment: Migration vs Integration. Our goal is to challenge the traditional approach, and investigate a potentially faster path to a fully unified user experience – without risk to the end user, the IT team, or the business.

Collaboration breeds productivity. The average employee must collaborate with at least 10 people each day. That, together with the growth of mobile workers and telework, makes the need for effective Collaboration solutions more important than ever!
Together, we’ll transform the way we interact and engage.

Vendor hype has devalued the promise of unified communications and threatens to cause confusion with the move to cloud computing. In the absence of clear and unambiguous explanations of the benefits of embarking on such projects, end users could be forgiven for thinking that these are technologies without a purpose. However, a revolution is underway, bringing with it real benefits to enterprises and to workers.
Digital Transformation is recreating business models, changing the way customers and employees interact
and altering whole industries. Social and business values surge when people, devices, and resources are
meaningfully connected.
With the COVID-19 pandemic a further catalyst, organizations worldwide are embracing digital transformation
to manage rapid organization-wide changes in support of business continuity, remote working, and dynamic
service delivery.
Meanwhile economies are now facing the threat of recession and businesses are weighing the impact of
inflation and higher interest rates, as well as having to deal with crises in supply chains, energy sourcing and the
acquisition of digital skills. Making sense of such disruptive changes has never been so important in order to
transform smartly instead of being left behind.

How Improved Communications Fuel Business GrowthFonality
Many businesses find the key to maximizing their communications in a Unified Communications (UC) solution. UC offers the functionality of the most sophisticated business phone system, with communication tools that help companies make smart decisions faster to gain efficiencies and accelerate growth.
In telecommunications as in life, no single size or model fits all. It is important to consider different solutions and to
find the best fit, depending on the needs. Before taking any decision, as is often necessary in large-scale projects, it is beneficial to thoroughly analyze the total cost of ownership (TCO) and the return on investment (ROI) of the project.
The cloud has come a long way since it was first introduced as a computing utility, being paid for only when and in the amount it was used.
While the cloud's future is wide open, but with the variety of workload types growing with no end in sight, the hybrid cloud is going to be the dominant option over the next couple of years.
This white paper discusses why open source is going to be a key component of cloud computing as a gateway to innovation.
