Individual chat v2

Connect with ease

Instantly find and communicate with anyone in your organisation — such as key subject-matter experts — using a unified directory. See contact information and individual presence to determine availability and effortlessly collaborate with a single click.

Chat with coworkers

Create public or private chat groups to enable collaboration on projects, within departments or about special interests. Share files and links, and easily search for them later. If needed, you can escalate conversations to a voice or video call with just the click of a button.

Host meetings over video

Some conversations require more context. Transition from a call or chat to HD video with ease, whether it’s a one-on-one conversation or a full team meeting. Make more personal connections while working in real time with your peers, and share your screen for greater collaboration.

Get a consolidated desktop

A single desktop application makes life easier for your employees, speeds up collaboration, and reduces training and onboarding time. You can do it natively or through third-party integrations.

Use prebuilt adapters

Get simplified, integrated communications with leading Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solutions, including Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Prebuilt integrations available from Genesys make it easy.

Choose your telco

Today’s enterprises need secure, reliable telephony. With Genesys voice services, you can choose to keep your existing telecom provider or opt for our bundled cloud-based telephony service.

Streamline employee communications

Customer interactions now have to be connected omnichannel experiences — and your employees expect them, too. Disjointed communication methods that work across multiple platforms and vendors won’t meet their needs. Employees need intuitive collaboration tools that work together seamlessly.

FAQ

What are the three main components of unified communications?

There are three main components of unified communications (UC).

  1. Communication tools such as voice calling, video conferencing, instant messaging and email
  2. Collaboration tools like shared workspaces, group chat rooms and file sharing
  3. Supporting infrastructure and services, which can include network capabilities, security and application integration services

What are some examples of unified communications?

Examples of unified communications include Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony, video conferences, instant messaging platforms, email, shared online workspaces and mobile communication apps. These tools and platforms can often be integrated and managed as a single system, enhancing collaboration and communication efficiency.

Why do you need a unified communications solution?

Unified communications solutions, sometimes called UC solutions, help small businesses and enterprises alike. A unified solution boosts productivity throughout your organisation by increasing the efficiency of communications within and outside your organisation. And when combined with a collaboration solution to create a UCC instance, that efficiency and productivity only increases.

How does unified communications and collaboration enhance productivity in a business setting?

The main way that a UCC boosts productivity is through increased operational efficiency. UCC combines multiple communications channels into a single interface. This means you can house everything from SMS text messaging and phone calls to email and web conferencing in one place. With less switching between applications, you can save time and deliver better benefits to agents and end users.

Can unified communications and collaboration improve team collaboration and communication efficiency?

Yes, this is one of the main benefits of a UCC system. With your phone system, internal communications, web messaging, and more combined into a single platform, your agents will spend less time switching between communications channels.

What are the benefits of having a single platform that has both UCC and contact centre capabilities?

Integrating UCC and contact centre on a single platform offers significant benefits. Having all your employees on one solution improves first-call resolution. It allows front-line agents to communicate with back-office colleagues or subject matter experts in real time.

When a transfer occurs, you can provide all customer information, interaction history and conversation context. Additionally, consolidating UCC and contact centre functionality can reduce costs associated with licenses, integration, training and administration of separate systems.
