6. WHAT IS UC?
Unified Communications Products
• Most UC solutions are not a single product, but a mix of multiple
products with a consistent, unified UI across different media /
endpoints.
• When we think of UC products today, most of the time we think of
solutions from proprietary vendors that can be too expensive for
the SMB.
– IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 (2006)
– Cisco ( UC Platform, UC endpoints, UC Virtualization, UC Licensing)
– Avaya
– Shortel
– Microsoft Office Communications Server (2007), Microsoft Lync (2011)
7. WHAT IS HOSTED UC?
Hosted UC (or UCaaS) is a UC offering over the Internet—
no on-premise equipment or software installs
• You can achieve Hosted UC for SMBs by integrating hosted and
SMB-focused software, within budget and reach. Examples:
– Hosted VoIP solutions with UC dashboards— OnSIP, 8x8
– Video-capable VoIP phones and mobile soft phones
– Click-to-call plugins and integrations services that improve business processes
( i.e Zendesk, Salesforce, Highrise )
8. EXAMPLES AND CASE STUDY
Example of Hosted UC: my.OnSIP browser app combines
voice, IM, presence, call control, VM, contact management.
9. EXAMPLES & CASE STUDY
Example of Hosted UC – Automating a business process
Automatically turn voicemail
messages into tickets in Zendesk
1. Client leaves a voicemail in
OnSIP as a .wav file, which
gets transcribed using
PhoneTag.
2. Phonetag sends the
transcribed text and the .wav
file to the Zendesk drop-box
3. Zendesk creates a new trouble New

from
voice

ticket with the text and .wav
file attached.
10. EXAMPLES & CASE STUDY
Example of Hosted UC – Improving user productivity /
user experience
Click to call and automatic call
tracking in Highrise
1. Set up calls with contacts, and
external phone numbers with a
single click of the mouse
2. Automatic time/date logging of
all calls with the contacts in
your Highrise account for
better tracking

3. Pop-up notifications on your
computer when you receive an
incoming call
11. MARKET PREDICTIONS
Prediction: Hosted UC expected to grow with increasing
need for centralized management of business solutions.
– The global hosted UC market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual
Growth Rate of 20.99 percent over the period of 2011-2015 1
– SMBs will be a major contributing
factor to growth. 2
• Many SMBs are hesitant to
implement an on-premise UC
solution as they are a substantial
investment for companies of that
size
• SMBs are more likely to go
hosted, which eliminates the
infrastructure cost
