Benefits for IT managers

Unison solves the biggest problems that IT departments have with legacy e-mail and PBX systems:

Reduced costs

Lower TCO: Reduced costs, thanks to the Linux back end, simple licensing and lower-cost hardware and storage. Unison also scales better using fewer resources – which lowers long-term costs.
Fast deployment: A single server and client mean fast, simple deployment. All configuration is quick and easy through a single administrator panel. Automated provisioning of clients.

Easy to keep running: Minimal ongoing work thanks to a modern architecture, open-source operating system, enterprise-grade database and built-in antivirus and antispam.
Simple management: A unified server requires less management than a legacy system based on multiple servers and separate PBX. Unison also allows a single user database and single-sign on for staff.
Straightforward backup and storage: Unison makes messaging storage easy: all business communication can be consolidated in one server or SAN; and messages are stored in a standard database such as MySQL, so backup is simple.

Reduced risks: Running on Linux, with fewer security vulnerabilities and no need to rely upon Microsoft Active Directory. Only one server to patch and update – a lower attack surface than other ‘unified communications’ suites.
Total IT control: All settings and features can be enabled or disabled centrally from the server. All company conversations – voice or text – can be encrypted, monitored, blocked or recorded, as required. With Unison, the IT department finally gets total control of all business communication.
