Businesses of all shapes and sizes are yearning for a solution that will allow them to communicate and collaborate in real time, no matter when or where. This is exactly why Unified Communications as a Service was created. So let’s jump in and learn the UCaaS basics.
What is UCaaS?
Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) is a cloud delivery model that supports a variety of communication and collaboration applications and functions. This cohesive technology stack offers features like voice telephony, audio video conferencing, messaging and real time presence. Basically, your one-stop-shop for communication and collaboration.
So now that we have an understanding of UCaaS, let’s dive in and see how it works.
How does UCaaS work?
According to Sandra Gittlen of TechTarget, “UCaaS integrates software that supports synchronous and asynchronous communication from any device.” This two-way communication support allows your team to communicate and collaborate whenever and wherever they please.
UCaaS Archetypes: Single-Tenancy and Multiple-Tenancy
UCaaS has two primary archetypes: Single-Tenancy and Multiple-Tenancy. (And if you find that your business does not fit into just one of the two, there is also a hybrid option.)
Single-Tenancy: Each customer has their own dedicated software that can be customized to fit their needs. This archetype is considered more secure and reliable since all of the users’ data is kept separately.
Multiple-Tenancy: Multiple customers use the same software application with limited customization. Since all users are sharing the same cloud capacity and resources, this archetype is considered the most cost-effective.
Whether you need security for every user or a flexible, cost-effective communication solution, UCaaS is perfect for your business.
