 Unified communication is defined as a one platform - "a framework on which applications can be run" - that connect communication devices, such as voice, video, , instant messaging and conferencing. It should be able to deliver the information (integration) from one device to others in short time (speed).

Unified Communication is…  A communications system that includes three or more of the following elements: voice, unified messaging, video, mobility, web/data collaboration, conferencing and presence management.  It allows an individual to send or receive a message on one medium and received on another.  It bridges the gap between telephony and computing to deliver real-time messaging, voice, presence, , and conferencing.

 Integration  Integration - The Unified Communications (UC) platform must be able to integrate to publish and receive information between the UC platform and many other communication data sources such as , IP Telephony, Digital Voic , and various text communication systems such as SMS or Instant Messaging. The platform must be a singular platform that allows simultaneous communication between these multiple different communication systems to allow a user to have a single point to access all information provided from these various platforms.  Speed  Speed - The UC platform must be able to send and receive information at high speeds and must maintain a reliable fault tolerant to the various communications platforms that the UC platform interfaces. A UC platform is an efficiency tool with a purpose of increasing productivity, the speed in which the platform can retrieve and publish information is directly related to how productive the tool can make the user.
