A unified communications (UC) platform integrates voice, messaging, collaboration, and other features into a single integrated business communications solution.

Cloud-based unified communications as a service (UCaaS) is emerging in the small and midsize business (SMB) market as vital for more effective customer service, faster problem resolution, and cost savings. SMBs not using UCaaS are missing out, especially retail and logistics-focused SMBs handling increased customer volume during and after annual holiday sales.

With the ability to respond to customer needs and conduct business anytime and anywhere, your team will be more productive and efficient, which can lead to increased customer satisfaction and profitability. In this interactive session, you’ll hear directly from an industry analyst about customer service benefits of UCaaS for SMBs and what SMBs can do to quickly deploy it in their organizations.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to enhance customer service and decrease issues
  • How to make it easier to scale UCaaS in your business
  • How to cut the cost of deploying a UCaaS service
