Understanding UC as a Service
Cloud-based unified communications (UC) solutions are structured to make deployment easier, shift upfront capital expenses
to operational expenses and provide a streamlined path for
agencies to migrate to new applications and features, as they
are rolled out. Unlike other cloud services, most cloud-based
UC services wont entirely eliminate on-premise equipment,
such as desk phones, videoconferencing equipment, routers and
gateways for analog phones and fax machines. UC cloud providers typically host the telephony and application servers in a UC
package, including presence, chat, messaging and other features. Also, most cloud services assume customers have already
adopted a VoIP infrastructure, although some organizations may
choose to work with a cloud provider to implement VoIP as well
as UC.
Typical cloud-based UC services include IP-based voice and
video, presence and instant messaging, and unified messaging,
in which voicemail is saved to a users email inbox and users
