The way that people communicate has changed significantly over the last few years, be it at home or in the workplace. An Ofcom report showed that the number of voice calls made on both fixed lines and mobile phones in the UK fell for the first time ever in 2017, but yet people are becoming more and more reliant on their smartphones.
Because
of this, the need for effective communications continues to increase
as employees embrace the many different technologies available.
They’ve become used to using technology such as instant messaging and
video calling outside the workplace, so it’s no longer enough for
employees to be able to pick up the phone and converse. They want
more functionality to communicate faster and more effectively with
their team as well as customers and suppliers. They need to be able
to transfer files, screen-share, live chat and even video call.
Until now that has been a tall order.
Businesses have faced many obstacles when looking to utilise a Unified Communications solution. Some of the obstacles businesses have faced include:
- Cost
of investment
- High
hardware costs
- Inflexible
solutions
- Lack
of all-in-one solution
- Scalability
- The
need for 3rd party software or hardware
And
of course there’s also those businesses that saw the benefits of
Video Conferencing, invested in the technology and now the hardware
is sitting in the boardroom gathering dust as it was just too hard to
implement and use effectively.
As
a business that’s been in the Hosted Telephony market for nearly a
decade we were frustrated that we didn’t have a solution that met the
needs of our customers without it being expensive or cumbersome.
We’ve been listening to Vendors banging the Unified Communications
drum for such a long time but didn’t feel there was a real UC
offering out there. Until we met Wildix.

software. It can be accessed from any browser through one
