Unified Communication & Cloud Technology is Driving BYOD Concept

Unified Communications has become an essential communication tool for businesses of all sizes. With the advent of smartphone technology and VoIP, UC has become much more powerful and efficient for business communications. With most people carrying smartphones and tablets all the time, solution vendors have come up with mobile UC clients that sit on mobile devices comfortably and allow users to access a range of UC features such as Group Chat, Presence, IP Telephony, Fax, Conference, Video Chat, File Transfer, etc. But, in order to access these UC features, the mobile UC client needs to be configured with UC communication network. The good thing is that mobile UC client users can also access PBX features when linked to the IP PBX communication network. Thus, the possibility of extensive communications is made possible with UC enabled mobile clients.

Businesses that don’t have an in-house UC/IP PBX communication network need not worry as the required services can be obtained directly from the cloud for a small payment fee. This not only eliminates the need for having to maintain the infrastructure and staff, but also reduces the overall communication costs as users pay for what they use on a subscription model. Even large businesses can leverage cloud based UC communications in order to break down the complexity of business communications while reducing the communication costs and enhancing employee productivity.

Together, Unified Communications and Cloud Technology has boosted the adoption of BYOD program by most businesses. Today, businesses are encouraging employees to use their personal mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to access the UC/IP PBX communication network from anywhere and at any time for making business communications. As a result, they are not only saving big on infrastructure costs, but also reducing the communications costs as they no longer have to pay for the hefty cellular network mobile bills of their employees. Thus, the business sector is witnessing the constant adoption of BYOD program in order to meet their communication needs cost-effectively.
