Ahoy, IT professionals! Set your course for smoother seas as we embark on a journey through the treacherous waters of Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) challenges. Arrrgh!
But on a more serious note, in today's tech-savvy world, communication and collaboration is a critical component of life and business. It’s vital you can ensure a seamless experience for your entire crew – customers, employees, partners, and anyone who interacts with business.
This journey isn’t always straightforward though. Demand is increasing, user expectations are evolving, new technologies are always on the horizon, and managing UC&C environments is becoming increasingly complex. With so many elements to consider, it’s easy to get blown off course.
That’s why we created Collab Compass – your guiding light through the stormy seas of UC&C troubles.
Charting the Course: Understanding Common UC&C Challenges
Before you can plot a course to where you want to go, you must first understand where you currently are. Let's explore some of the more common collaboration issues, keeping us anchored in unforgiving harbors:
Lack of end-to-end visibility – This is one of the biggest challenges facing IT teams today. With networks and SBCs, multiple telco providers and collaboration platforms, devices, and endpoints – when something goes wrong in your UC&C environment, how do you fix it if you can’t find it? End-to-end visibility means fast problem resolution and smooth sailing.
Call quality issues – We’ve all been on a poor-quality call that sounds like the other person is underwater. It’s not only frustrating, but also impacts productivity and satisfaction. With more employee and customer interactions relying on these communication channels than ever before, calls shouldn’t sound like the participants are a thousand miles away (even if they are).
Remote worker experience – Since remote and hybrid work arrangements have become the norm, maintaining a seamless worker experience is paramount. IT teams must ensure employees can stay connected, engaged, and productive, no matter where they’re working from.
Migration assurance – Transitioning to new communication tools can feel like a perilous journey. Add to that the need to manage legacy tools and infrastructure, and the fact that the roadmap is different for every organization it can become a monumental expedition into unchartered territory.
Endpoint management – Endpoints remain a crucial part of the technology stack for every business. But with BYOD on the rise, virtual conferencing essential, and hybrid working the norm, effective endpoint management can feel like climbing a mountain in a pair of flip flops! Make sure you’ve got the right equipment in your arsenal to get the job done.
Recurring issues – Perhaps the most frustrating of all the UC&C roadblocks, fixing recurring issues make IT teams feel like they’re just treading water, doing hours of work for little progress. By discovering the root cause of issues, IT professionals can be free to explore more valuable and pioneering continuous improvement projects.
