Many small, overlooked delays occur throughout the work day – for example, awaiting a response to a voicemail or the slow-motion loading of applications while on the road. Inefficiencies in processes and infrastructure limit the potential for improved project completion times. You can address these delays for big gains in productivity.

An emerging class of convergent unified communications (UC) and other network-based tools are helping organizations stay on track. By integrating your employees' communications tools, you can improve collaboration for quicker, more streamlined decision-making processes and reduced latency in managing projects.

As you work to implement UC, Bell experts can guide you through the initial analysis of your systems, develop roadmaps and timelines for implementation, assist throughout the entire deployment process and provide ongoing technical support.

UC collaboration tools

UC tools from Bell combine traditional communications processes such as voice, web applications and video into a set of integrated, collaborative tools. UC tools and features include:

Employees can host meetings to share, annotate, discuss and distribute documents, enabling real-time collaboration without the need to book physical space.
Instant messaging – Allows employees to see the presence status of colleagues: in meetings, on the phone and so on. This allows employees to identify the most efficient way to contact a colleague, shortcutting voice and email.
Audio conferencing – Enables workers to connect with expert resources, team members and colleagues all over the world quickly and easily – without having to book an audio conference bridge in advance. Dedicated dial-in numbers, personalized conference IDs and 24/7 bilingual assistance help your teams connect any time, anywhere.
