\"customer<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to boost productivity in the workplace, sometimes it\u2019s best to seek out a good unified communications solution. UC solutions offer a variety of services that help keep everyone in the loop regarding projects, files, goals, and more.<\/p>\n

But not all UC solutions are the same. Some operate as managed service providers and help with things like security for devices, while others assist with creating tech roadmaps for the future. For your consideration, we\u2019ve put together a quick list of five communication providers in hopes you\u2019ll find the third party that\u2019s right for your organization.<\/p>\n

1. Meraki. <\/strong>This is the cloud computing sector for the communications company Cisco. <\/em>In this vein, Meraki<\/a> focuses on communication management for businesses that use cloud computing. This includes things like network security, BYOD management, and automatic device configuration.<\/p>\n

Usually these processes require extensive training, but Meraki circumvents this with automated processes. Users can simply plug-and-play for their device while Meraki configures for LAN, while also customizing settings for each individual device connected. This is a great option for companies who allow their workers to bring their own devices to work.<\/p>\n

2. Cisco.<\/strong> One cannot mention Meraki without noting their parent company, Cisco<\/a>. Where Meraki is cloud focused, Cisco Systems operates primarily with Internet protocol network solutions.<\/p>\n

Aside from managing security solutions for on-site networks, Cisco\u2019s management of Internet protocol helps lay the foundation of a modern company. IP can be used for telecommunications, virtualization, cloud computing, scalability, and much more. Therefore, Cisco is a one-size-fits-all third party that helps take over the workload of these mandatory modern services.<\/p>\n

This is optimal for businesses who need a communication solution for their entire business model.<\/p>\n

3. Blue Jeans.<\/strong> If your company doesn\u2019t need something too complex, or would rather focus on one aspect of your UC solutions, Blue Jeans<\/a> is a great answer. Blue Jeans specializes in video communication solutions, something that\u2019s highly beneficial for worker and project management from remote locations.<\/p>\n

Blue Jeans is a conference-based platform and only requires fast Internet, login info, and access to a computer. From there, users can scale what they need.<\/p>\n

4. Microsoft.<\/strong> For companies that need a total communications solution, Microsoft<\/a> can offer an all-in-one package. Microsoft provides connectivity between phones, tablets, and laptops, increasing mobile productivity.<\/p>\n

Companies can also opt for Skype for Business, which allows for video collaboration on important projects and ideas. All these tools bring companies to the forefront of modern times with exceptionally helpful UC platforms.<\/p>\n

5. Avaya. <\/strong>Avaya<\/a> is also another veteran communications solution provider, known by many in the IT business world. Avaya has offerings such as data management, contact centers, and UC platforms, able to help companies with high volume workloads or secure their information.<\/p>\n

Avaya helps business in three major ways. It develops optimal CRM (customer relation management) solutions, gives management better interaction tools for their workforce, and, finally, Avaya offers tech architecture to totally unify all communication platforms. So if you need a veteran solution that specializes in chat, telecommunications, customer relations, and management, this is an excellent choice.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
