What is UC ? – Unified Communications technology provides business-class IP telephony combined with presence, instant messaging, video calling and remote shared desktop.

Institutions utilise a single comms infrastructure for data & voice, which means there is no need for a premises-based PBX. An institutions existing JANET Connection is simply used which negates the need for costly ISDN lines.

Available with softphones or physical handsets, hassle-free Institution administration (no special telecoms or vendor skills required, easy ‘moves, adds and changes’) and pay-as-you-use cost inclusive of 24 x 7 x 365 Support, UC makes for a user friendly and cost effective telephony solution.

Additionally, UC provides reliable communications continuity in the event of site disasters and area incidents. Reductions in an institutions carbon footprint can also be significant.
