Unified Communications (UC) is an umbrella term that covers multiple integrated communications tools like voice calling, video conferencing, instant messaging, content sharing, and more into a single streamlined interface with the express goal of improving the user experience and productivity. UC technology allows users to switch between communications modes seamlessly within a single session, whether on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
Many systems also integrate with third-party business apps, like project management software, to enable the centralization of information and resources, resulting in more efficient workflows and more productive employees. The end-user has easy, immediate access to all the tools they need in a consistent interface and environment on any device from any physical location.
