Unified Communications (UC) is an umbrella term for many different technologies being integrated together, it’s not exclusive or defined in the way other technologies are and so when looking at a UC strategy you’re really looking at how you communicate as a business.
From a humble telephone call to a multi-language, international, rich-media, UC Video Conference, integrated with your CRM, ERP and calendar, UC can just above covers everything. Some companies even refer to their contact centre as UC, as it’s a multi-media environment with complex platform integrations.
UC can be as complex or as simple as you want to make it but getting your strategy right to meet the business demands of tomorrow is key to ensure you stay ahead of the game. Shifting attitudes towards working practices means that being up to speed with the latest industry information and market knowledge is essential.
We assist our clients to define their UC strategy by looking at what the business wants to achieve and ensuring that whichever route is selected, doors aren’t closed to new opportunities.
Our Consultants have created strategies for companies of all sizes and by knowing the products and suppliers in the market we are confident in our ability to assist you at whatever stage you are at.

Telephony is most often the most critical communication tool in any business. However, it is often left for years without thought and this makes it an ideal area to save money and drive efficiency.
From office closures and services no longer in use, to maintenance renewal costs and redundant equipment, cost saving can take many forms in telephony. Without proactive management, it is easy to fall into the trap of simply signing off invoices if they look similar to last month.
At Soniza we can help manage cost efficiencies via a range of services, including:
-
Auditing - Understanding what you have, where it is and what can be removed without affecting service to staff.
-
Benchmarking - Knowing the market rates for services to create a business case or to simply renegotiate a contact with an existing supplier
-
Procurement - Procuring a new supplier to provide services at a more cost effective rate
-
Contract Renegotiation - Negotiating a contract to not only ensure rates are competitive now but also to allow flexibility in the future to reduce costs even further.
