The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020/2021 has forced half of today’s workforce to work remotely. Companies need a way that allows workers to communicate and collaborate without being tied to a specific device or location. Consequently, collaborative tools, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, are gaining popularity because of the flexibility this form of communication and collaboration offers. The term “Unified Communication” or “UC” describes how we connect different communication systems and collaboration tools seamlessly.
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020/2021 has forced half of today’s workforce to work remotely. Companies need a way that allows workers to communicate and collaborate without being tied to a specific device or location. Consequently, collaborative tools, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, are gaining popularity because of the flexibility this form of communication and collaboration offers. The term “Unified Communication” or “UC” describes how we connect different communication systems and collaboration tools seamlessly.
Unified Communications simplifies the world of work. How? It assembles the tools your employees need to connect, share, and work together on ideas using the same tools. Moreover, UC provides a consistent user experience across multiple devices. A Unified Communications solution is composed of five components that work seamlessly together in a cloud-based environment.
According to industry analysts Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for UCaaS, the concepts of Unified Communications and UCaaS are similar in the features that they offer. However, they differ in one critical way; UCaaS is hosted by your service provider over an IP network, mainly the Internet. That means that you do not have to set up your own infrastructure to get started. Microsoft is “recognized by Gartner as a Leader for both Meeting Solutions and Unified Communications as a Service in their latest Magic Quadrants.”
We have partnered with Microsoft to bring you ProvTel Cloud Voice – your business’s new all-in-one communication and collaboration tool.

Ensuring uninterrupted communication is essential to your businesses. However, it can be quite cost-prohibitive to build redundancies and backups into your communication systems.

With Unified Communications, your company can respond more flexibly when the unexpected happens; the business of work can continue.

Furthermore, allowing your employees to work remotely can promote a better work-life balance. Working is no longer synonymous with an office environment.
A Unified Communications solution can boost the productivity of teams as it enables them to collaborate more closely. Gone are the days of wasting time sending documents back and forth for feedback. Now team members can simultaneously work on a document and share ideas in real-time using various tools on the device of their choice. As a result, individuals and teams work smarter.
New on-site equipment, software and solutions can take months or even years to roll out company-wide. Likewise, upgrades can take just as long. Since ProvTel Cloud Voice is a cloud-based service, a new feature or service can be available immediately to all employees.
