 | Unified Communications in Manufacturing: Accelerating Decisions While Lowering Costs |
IDC Whitepaper on how UC can help to accelerate decisions while lowering costs
Unified communications (UC) broadly defines a highly integrated communications environment that combines, or unifies, email, voice, video, and data communications in innovative ways to provide process and productivity improvement. Given that the competitive effectiveness of global manufacturing firms will be largely dictated by their ability to get the greatest performance out of their business networks, UC technology represents an important enabling technology platform. UC represents both immediate business benefit in the form of reduced travel and telecommunication costs and long-term returns through higher levels of information use, better decision making, and shortened process cycles. This document frames the business environment, discusses the state of UC technology, and provides examples of highly successful UC implementations.
