Unified Communications (UC) solutions focus on embedding communication and collaboration into business processes. This increases workplace productivity and effectiveness. UC solutions should be software-based, open, extensible and support the customer's choice of services. These elements are controllable as software services, or from the customer's existing business application software.
Unified Communication and Collaboration as a Service (UCCaaS) is Verizon's hosted and managed service based on Cisco's Hosted Collaboration Solution. UCCaaS delivers business-grade communications and collaboration services from the Cloud, offering the flexibility of a premises-based solution with the simplicity of a hosted solution.
