Unified Communications

For about a decade, unified communications (UC) has been promoted as a game changer: a way to bring collaborative applications together, lower communications costs, make deployment organizations more agile and elevate productivity to new heights.

So, why have so few companies deployed UC? The bottom line is that it’s tough to build a business case based on the “soft” benefits of improved collaboration. In addition, early adopters tended to deploy UC following legacy TDM playbooks, significantly limiting the value of UC.

Level 3 Communications can help enable your UC success by leveraging IP convergence and SIP trunking to build a solid foundation – with tangible “hard” benefits – for your UC solution.

Unified Communications – How You Benefit

• With the Level 3^® SIP Trunking service, you gain the benefits of network efficiency with reduced overall communications costs sufficient to justify a full UC deployment. Nomadic E-911 is also available.
• True end-to-end IP networking: there’s no IP-to-PSTN conversion, providing you with improved service management and allowing for easier adoption of tomorrow’s new UC features.
• Simplified growth: you can add capacity almost on demand and reduce later as the situation warrants.
