What is UC ? “Unified communications” defines the establishment of an integrated set of user interfaces for all communications services. It further defines the integration of both real-time and non-real-time communications services to bring context and presence to the communications environment Unifying communications services and applications sets the stage for an organization to implement communications-enabled business processes, whereby business events and business process applications can directly create communications sessions or distribute information via voice, text and even video services.
What is UC ? “Unified communications is more than just an emerging IP application it represents a new generation of sophisticated applications and services not previously available. Unified communications based on SIP ties together multimedia and collaboration applications onto a single platform UM / UC IP Telephony Audio / Web Conferencing email Presence SIP /CSTA Instant Messaging CRM IP Messaging SOA CEBP Speech Video
