Within the context of BPA, UC has relevance and hard ROI Presence becomes more than just “which of my friends are free to chat?” It indicates availability for the assignment of real work in a business process. Call center-style queuing and routing becomes essential for predictably performing important steps in a work flow. Recording moves from quality assurance to compliance in critical processes, including voice calls and computer screens. Real-time supervisory monitoring goes beyond coaching agents to providing visibility into the functions that make a business tick. VoIP provides complete location-independence, allowing employees to participate in businesses processes from anywhere in the world.

The business desktop goes from… an interface that is more like a consumer toy

to something that lets real work get done

Why is UC now so hot? Pundits have been proclaiming this as “The Year of Unified Communications” for close to a decade VoIP and SIP have created a broader significance for unified communications Microsoft’s entry has caused everyone to sit up and take notice Unified Communications is just the latest term to be taken over by marketers to the point that it no longer has any meaning (joining “artificial intelligence”, “client/server”, “Web 2.0”, and a whole host of others)
