Unison features and benefits

With Unison any company can make staff more productive and reduce IT costs:

Make your company more efficient* by…

Saving each staff member 43 minutes per day with a ‘unified inbox’
Unison…
  • …puts all e-mail, phone calls, voicemail and instant messaging in one simple interface
  • …sends all voicemails instantly via e-mail
  • …syncs email to mobile devices
Eliminating the 32 minutes per day the average employee wastes on ‘phone/email tag'
Unison…
  • …tells staff when their colleagues are available or online (green equals free, red equals busy)
  • …gives people a choice of most appropriate medium – e-mail, voice or IM – instead of a guessing game
Helping your travelling staff save 40 minutes per day through ‘anywhere telephony’
Unison…
  • …gives mobile workers ‘follow me’ phone numbers, so they are always accessible and never miss a sales call
  • …lets them use a ‘soft phone’ (like Skype) as their business line, so their notebook becomes their full office
Eliminating the downtime of your current systems
Unison is more reliable than low-quality or poorly-maintained e-mail systems, such as the ones from ‘freemail’ providers or some Web hosting companies

Cut your IT costs by…

Removing thousands of dollars in costs for an e-mail system or hosted service
Unison…
  • …powers all your communications (telephone, voicemail, e-mail, IM) using just one efficient server
  • …takes just 30 minutes to install (where Microsoft Exchange takes many hours)
  • …needs only 15 minutes of maintenance per week (where Microsoft Exchange needs much more attention)
Removing thousands of dollars in costs to buy a PBX or rent a service
Unison provides powerful PBX functions so you don’t need to purchase a separate one or pay for a ‘hosted PBX’
Reducing general telephone bills by 60%
Typical monthly cost savings by moving from PSTN (traditional) phone calls to Internet (or VoIP) phone calls are around 60%, and even higher for companies doing business internationally
Eliminating $500+ in bills per month for most mobile workers
Unison…
  • …turns expensive cellphone and conference calls into low-cost VoIP internal calls
  • …shifts many phone calls into being IM or e-mail conversations instead
  • …can turn any phone (like a hotel line or temporary space) into your ‘office line’ and eliminate the phone call costs

* Source of cost and time-savings statistics is a report from 2006 by Sage Research. The company surveyed 203 small, medium and large businesses which had adopted unified communications solutions. These businesses were in a wide range of sectors, including education, financial services, government, healthcare/pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, professional services and retail/wholesale.
