unified communicationsthe lifeline of real-time businessThe Real Power of UCPartners

The idea of Unified Communications (UC) isnt new but its potential has been largely unrealised in the past.Unfortunately, earlier solutions have been either too nascent or fragmented to deliver in real-world workspaces.Actis designs and builds UC solutions that extend comprehensively across the enterprise - not just on desktops,laptops and mobile devices, but also in AV-enabled specialised work spaces like boardrooms, VC rooms,auditoriums, learning centres, etc.

What makes it Real?

The promise of UC is extremely powerful. But what works in theory often fails in practice.In the context of UC, the IP technology and protocols that power the internet and the corporate network, is both its biggeststrength and the biggest challenge.But thats largely because it takes a lot of experience and expertise to get the IT systems which control the network tointegrate and operate smoothly with the AV technology that powers the meeting and collaboration spaces in a typicalorganization. Most IT specialists and traditionally strong IT service providers lack this experience which leads to adifficult, unreliable or un-intuitive solution for business applications.

Real UC = The Power of AV + The Power of ITActis combines the capability of a really powerful UC platform with powerful AV technology to work in thereal enterprise environment. This could be deployed as an on-premise, on cloud or a hybrid solution.Our extensive experience with setting up special-purpose communication and collaboration environments,combines with the experience of IT teams to create a UC solution that delivers the highest standards of quality, reliabilityand interoperability in the industry.We call it Real UC because it works, today.

With improved collaboration - faster accessto subject matter experts, access fromfamiliar applications and on-premiseconferencing capabilities - proposals canbe developed and completed in less time.

Further, being able to provide the latest toolscan have a positive effect on attractingnew talent.

UC products can also help raise quality ofproposals as latency among experts isbrought closer to zero.

Tangible benefits - reduced costsUnified Communications assists in decreasing costs that can potentially escalateand even spiral out of control as your business grows.

Better and productiveemployee flexibility

Lower real estate costsfor branch offices

Traditional audio, video and webconferencing services are expensive.Organisations experience significantreductions in the payout for dial-in meetingservices purchased from conferencingvendors by replacing them withIP network-based conferencingcapabilities.

Using UC solutions provides savings inareas of travel, specific training costsand productivity.

Using collaborative technologies such aspresence awareness, soft telephony clientsand video conferencing, allows expansionof operations and geographic reachwithout additional costs.

Employees can train on their own timerather than at set times that may clash withtheir routine and time-critical work roles thus helping in ensuring more productivework hours.

Additional savings are possible throughan increased number of work-from-homestaffers.

Environmental SustainabilityAs sustainability becomes an increasingly important parameter of business performance,UC can deliver in critical areas that help the organisations performance.

Significant savings on travel

Minimising your carbon footprint

Web and videoconferencing, as well asother UC services, connect participants withmeetings or events where they do notneed to be physically present.Pre-sales work, training and performancereviews are activities that frequentlyrequire less travel after deploying aUC solution.
