Starting a business from the ground up is hard enough. Most small business owners don’t just wear a dozen different hats, they’re also the person trying to remember where they left them all. Between managing costs, attracting customers, and delivering a great product or service, there’s already enough to juggle without adding complicated communication systems to the list.

If this strikes a bit too close to home, you aren’t alone. According to Salesforce, 88% of small business leaders say they feel overwhelmed by the number of business tools they use. As companies expand, it’s all too easy to add new software to solve individual problems. Before long, what started as a simple phone system has become a collection of disconnected tools that create more work instead of less.

Sorting through telecom acronyms also makes finding a solution harderi. Most small business owners aren’t searching for “UCaaS” or wondering whether they need “business SMS.” They’re thinking, “I just want customers to be able to text my business,” or “There has to be an easier way to manage calls.” They know the problems they’re trying to solve. They just don’t always know those solutions fall under what’s called Unified Communications.

What Is Unified Communications, and why do Small Businesses Need It?

‍

Chances are, you’ve found yourself switching between different apps just to get through the workday. Unified Communications (UC) solves that problem by bringing your business communication tools together into a single platform.

Instead of managing one solution for phone calls, another for texting, another for video meetings, and yet another for faxing or internal chat, UC creates a unified communication experience. Employees can talk, text, chat, and fax without constantly switching between applications, keeping conversations organized and work moving forward.
