Enterprise collaboration will be especially important looking forward, too, as teams become increasingly distributed even after the COVID-19 pandemic ends.

Enterprise Collaboration & UCaaS
There are countless enterprise collaboration solutions on the market right now attempting to help meet market demands. But most of these solutions are too specialized, creating more confusion in the process. Oftentimes, employees will spend more time moving between apps and catching up with conversations and projects than actually working. “App overload” gets worse as more and more apps come to market that don’t allow for complete integration with business workflows.

UCaaS solves this problem by consolidating multiple collaboration tools into one easy-to-access platform. For example, UCaaS enables VoIP, chat, text messaging, secure faxing, video conferencing, and remote desktops all from one place. It eliminates having to use multiple, disparate hardware and software solutions.
What’s more, UCaaS is more secure than using multiple third-party apps. It allows communication to exist in a single, centralized location instead of over numerous apps and databases. It can also be customized to meet unique needs and workflows with enhanced integrations.
How UCaaS Enables Enterprise Collaboration
Here are some specific ways that UCaaS can boost enterprise collaboration:
Streamlining Customer Support
UCaaS can integrate directly with a variety of CRM systems and other third-party apps, allowing teams to aggregate customer data and use insights to solve customer service issues.
For example, imagine a customer issue escalates and a manager is needed to resolve an issue. That manager will be able to easily access key customer data and have a conversation with the service agent right from a single platform, in a way that is fast and convenient.

Overseeing a creative project like a presentation or sales document can be a colossal undertaking when collaborators are working from a distance. But by using a UCaaS platform, everyone can remain locked in over a centralized communications system. UCaaS is an excellent tool for moving projects forward to completion.

Staying In Sync
Communication and collaboration is critical when working from home. Yet the process is often challenging without the right infrastructure in place. When using UCaaS, colleagues can communicate in a range of means--email, chat, texting, phone calls, video conferences--and remain synchronized within the same common system. UCaaS ultimately empowers businesses with enterprise collaboration tools built for working seamlessly from home the same way they would in the workplace.
