Companies who want to incorporate UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) into their business need to realize a few things. For one, it is different than choosing other services. This is because UCaaS is essentially different business services being delivered by a single entity. Therefore, it can be difficult to choose a UCaaS provider. Here is what you should know about UCaaS and how to select the right provider.
Unified Communications as a Service
Before you can consider UCaaS and what you need from your provider, you have to decide which services your business requires. For example, do you need instant messaging, video conferencing, file sharing, CRMs, etc.? The first thing you need to determine is if your potential provider offers everything you need. After all, the entire point of UCaaS is that it simplifies your workflow by combining your business tools into one system.
Other UCaaS features include call recording and IVRs. It is worth pointing out that you need to consider exactly what is being offered. For example, with call recording, you need to determine how that works. Can you toggle globally as well as granularly at the user level? Does the call recording take place automatically? With IVRs on the other hand, you should determine if they are single-level or multi-level. Asking questions like this will help you determine just what your provider is offering.
Customer Support
Unfortunately, problems always arise. When choosing a UCaaS provider, you need to know that they can help you quickly. Choosing a provider that you trust is far easier if they have a good reputation. Be sure to investigate their customer reviews and don’t make any decisions that you aren’t completely comfortable with.
