| | AUGUST 20216CIOReviewAlmost half the world has slowly adjusted to the idea of working remotely from their home. This requires employers to provide them the means to be able to do so smoothly and not get deterred due to the remote locations. Such a situation has seen an increased demand for Unified Communication (UC) that offers a holistic coverage of audio, audio-visuals, video, text messaging, video calling, screen sharing, and a number of other technologies. UC is playing an essential role in running businesses today. Especially where the remote workforce has expanded, voice and video calling is fostering a collaborative atmosphere. These are allowing employees to see each other face-to-face even when they aren't in the same office. Such practices offer accurate communication and optimize collaboration to enhance productivity. UC also provides access to instant messaging that enables instantaneous answers and feedback. Despite working remotely, employees are leveraging emails, chats, and other desired means of communication to achieve maximum mobility from anywhere. Further, employees are not affected by power outages or adverse weather. This leads to reduced downtime among workers, translating to increased productivity and the ability to abide by strict deadlines. Moreover, cloud-based technologies are at the forefront of Unified Communications, and as they continue to grow, so will the communication and remote work capabilities.Further, with the multiple platforms that confuse its users, UC integrates all elements required by the users to work together in a single streamlined interface, removing the silos. This results in numerous benefits like increased productivity and reduced cost where organizations can pay for a single platform that provides an extensive range of services. UC also offers the ultimate opportunity for customizations, enabling easy altering of systems according to changing needs of the users. It accelerates communication and hence solves customer problems faster and finally enhances the user experience by giving people the freedom to work as they would like to.The benefits of UC technologies are paramount--the reason why it is predicted to surge in volume even in the future and help businesses keep up to dynamic demands and enjoy a competitive advantage. Especially in today's scenario where companies are trying to be more agile, UC is an absolute choice to remain productive in new work styles.
