UCaaS, or Unified Communications as a Service, is a cloud-based solution that brings together various communication tools into a single platform. UCaaS solutions combine a suite of communication options, including voice, email, video chat, messaging, and team collaboration tools. UCaaS is a stellar option for scalability, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility. But if you are still on the fence, explore the following factors your business needs to know about UCaaS.
Hybrid Work is Growing
Hybrid work is the fastest-growing work arrangement in the United States. After the pandemic forced many businesses to adapt to work-from-home conditions, employees realized they could and preferred working from home, at least part-time. Now, 40 percent of remote capable employees have shifted to remote or hybrid work, and more workers expect a hybrid offering from their employer.
A challenge of the push toward hybrid work is keeping everyone connected and collaborative. UCaaS solutions include features that improve connectivity and mobility, which means your employees can collaborate whether they are at the office, at home, or anywhere else.
Integrate Apps and Tools into Your Communication
UCaaS solutions don’t just unify your traditional communications like phone, text, and email. You can also integrate handy modern tools that make it easy to share files, hold video conferences, brainstorm on projects, and more.
APIs can easily integrate into your UCaaS system, which means you have access to tools that can improve your workflow. If you are in the customer service business, UCaaS can help make sure your customers can talk to you in whatever way they want, and you never miss a message.
Cost-Effective Maintenance and Support
Leaving the management of your communication system to someone who specializes in it takes a lot of load off your shoulders. UCaaS solutions mean you don’t need a server room or an employee-dedicated server maintenance. Instead, your UCaaS provider manages everything through the cloud. Plus, upgrades, maintenance, and growth are all simple and cost-effective, without the need for expensive hardware.
More Uptime and Better Recovery
Physical and traditional communication systems are vulnerable to disasters, damage, and lost data. Cloud-enabled UCaaS solutions include black-up and recovery options that can help you avoid a data-loss disaster. Plus, the lack of physical, on-premises servers means that problems like storms and spilled soda can hurt your data.
Easy Scalability
Flexibility isn’t the only benefit of UCaaS that makes adapting to the future of work easy, you also have scalability. Since there is no hardware infrastructure needed to get a UCaaS system up and running, growth and downsizing are easy and cost-effective. Cloud systems usually offer a pay-for-what-you-use solution, which means the price is right for your size no matter what size you are. When you grow, it’s as easy as notifying your provider and increasing your communication needs to match your growth. No long, expensive hardware installations.
