2017 has been a big year for Unified Communications (UC). Over the past year, enterprises of all sizes and across all industries have come to realize the need to adopt robust UC solutions in order to gain greater agility and connectivity, and improve the customer experience. At the same time, players in the UC market have also been actively pursuing further growth opportunities and are focusing on innovations to gain a larger share of the market.
The use of video in the enterprise continues to grow due to the rise of millennials in the workforce and also because of the usability of video. From one-on-one employee onboarding and training to large all-hands meetings, enterprises are now relying on video to bring people together, to strengthen connections, and to build productive teams.
Today's businesses are realizing that the overall customer experience is more important than ever and that a complete customer profile can make all the difference when agents are interacting with customers. Because of this increased attention to the customer experience, more and more businesses are viewing the contact center as a crucial customer relationship hub as opposed to just a standard business channel.
With an ever-expanding array of available solutions and platforms for connecting teams, customers, clients, and key stakeholders, there has never been a more exciting time for business communications. From Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) to evolving cloud infrastructures and even to the access to real-time data, there are many new technological advances in place to help businesses and their associates collaborate regardless of platform, location, or time zone.
The cloud as a whole has revolutionized the information technology landscape, giving IT teams and organizations a way to gain easy access to a vast amount of resources and real-time data. Through cloud-based technologies, companies can respond quickly to opportunities, deploy a plethora of applications, and scale at will to meet ever-evolving customer needs or company growth.

A common adage is that a picture is worth a thousand words. But when it comes to business, video could be worth a whole lot more. Organizations of all sizes are discovering the tremendous benefits of using video in the workplace--from removing distance barriers to enabling efficient collaboration among teams.
Understanding and engaging customers these days require more than just resolving a one-time problem or responding to their feedback. To truly connect with customers and stay competitive, contact centers need to provide real-time, personalized customer interactions. And one of the keys to achieving this is by integrating a robust Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution with a contact center platform.
Excellent service quality makes for happy, loyal customers, who in turn can help spread the word about your company and product or service. But with today’s customers demanding different types of customer service through various channels (phone, chat, email, etc.), meeting customers’ expectations can be difficult.
Video conferencing is a highly attractive tool for companies of all sizes and industries because it affords businesses the ability to bring people and teams together for collaboration and conversation regardless of location. In the past, traditional video conferencing solutions (often referenced as legacy systems) were notoriously expensive and complicated to use, proving to be more of a luxury than a necessity for most businesses.
Digital transformation has evolved from just another business buzzword to a top strategic priority of every enterprise that wants to succeed and to survive in the competitive digital age. In its simplest terms, digital transformation refers to the change that occurs within an organization that is closely associated with the use of and application of digital technologies such as the cloud communications, Internet of Things (IoT), mobile technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI), all of which are aimed to improve business value.
Customer expectations are rapidly changing due to the easy access to real-time information from any device, anywhere. In today’s fast-paced and increasingly shifting marketplace, competing in the market based on product or price alone is not enough to entice customers. What matters most--and what builds or breaks a brand’s appeal--is the customer experience. Even though the focus on the customer has been the forefront of every business, it is a continuously shifting environment that is stimulated by new technologies and new marketing ploys.
