  • With the shift to IP communications, more organizations are identifying opportunities to enhance collaboration with UC.
  • However, IT leaders who are helping the organization develop its UC strategy are bombarded with mixed and conflicting messages from vendors.
  • This solution set will bring focus to the key UC opportunities and challenges that you must consider and help you find the path to success.

Impact and Result
