Boost Your Business with AI-Powered Communications

With any successful business comes the need for good communication and collaboration. Using tools such as business phones, video conferencing, chat/instant messaging, texting, and file sharing/management is a necessity for the functionality of a modern-day business. Having all these features separately is not only more expensive but it can be complicated to patch together.

Unified Communications as a Solution (or UCaaS) brings all these communication and collaboration tools together in one seamless experience for increased productivity and enhanced customer interactions.

An all-in-one cloud communications solution system like Intermedia Unite can save businesses money while also improving business processes, performance, and customer experiences. Benefits of Unite:

Businesses consider purchasing Contact Center software when it becomes harder to manage the volume of inbound customer communications and they start to miss more calls, experience higher hold times, and lose customers to their competition. Businesses also purchase Contact Center services to differentiate themselves from their competition. They want to offer more communications channels, self-service options, and better personalization so customers choose them over other businesses.

While there are great benefits from using Intermedia's Unified Communications software (called Unite) and hosted Contact Center together, it's not required. Contact Center can work "over the top" of your existing UCaaS or on-premises phone system.
