Unified Communications From Cloud Net
Posted by Cloud Net on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 @ 08:40 AM
Unified Communications delivers a combination of telephony and IT applications. It enables those who adopt the technology to meet the most compelling imperatives in business today.
These are:
- Doing things faster - Bill Gates talked about Business at the Speed of Thought - using the growing amount of data within organisations effectively and on time.
- Streamlining the move to a more mobile and remote workforce, and flatter organisational structures.
The two imperatives are inextricably linked - binding them is a set of technologies from Cloud Net that delivers truly unified communications.
Cloud Net's systems facilitate:
- Convergence between voice and data - the ability to run both voice communications and data links over one network, combining the two for new applications and cost savings in infrastructure.
- Convergence between fixed voice lines and mobile phones - an increasingly important trend that allows people to be reached by one number and own only one handset.
- Unified messaging - bringing together email, voicemail, instant messaging and fax in a single message inbox.
- Audio, video and web conferencing - the ability to set up one-to-one and one-to-many conferences easily and at low cost.
The Institute of Directors say:
"It is not an exaggeration to say that the use of unified communication technologies has the potential to dramatically transform the performance of many processes in both the private and public sectors.
The type of scenarios where it comes into its own include:
- Maximising personal productivity - receiving and working on a rich set of material any time, any place
- Deploying the right resources - finding people that are nearest or most able to carry out certain tasks
- Collaborating more effectively - finding co-workers and experts in real time"
Cloud Net is delivering the technologies that make Unified Communications a reality today, uniquely using guaranteed quality of service over the Internet.
Cloud based servers from Cloud Net have effectively stripped away all geographical restraints - calls and communications no longer respect space. A call or a message is as easily sent between rooms as across continents. Messages are retrieved anywhere. Mobiles are easily integrated into the systems at reasonable and capped prices.
What's more, Cloud Net has delivered all this at a dramatically reduced price point. Once all communications can be handled efficiently by servers in the Cloud the need for expensive PBXs is effectively destroyed.
Then because communications are carried almost all of the way using the Internet rather than traditional networks, call costs outside Cloud Net network are at a greatly reduced price.
And of course because everything is handled in the Cloud the need for local servers and PBXs is removed and energy requirements are greatly reduced. There is no single golden bullet - we need to work harder to find what ticks the boxes for clients and continually aim to refine our message, product and service.
The single most powerful marketing tool is to have a product that is so good that people will talk about it and it spreads by word of mouth eg Spotify, Ebay, Dyson
