A competitive market puts your business under immense pressure to streamline operations. Staying lean, efficient, and cost-effective is vital to your business success. Countless strategies exist to help you, but using mobile devices for unified business communications is a big one.
Softphone solutions are becoming the preferred business phone solution for companies around the world. Enabling your staff to use mobile devices for unified business communications greatly increases productivity and availability (which increases customer satisfaction). It’s becoming a necessity for many business people, especially as remote work gains popularity.

Use Chat & SMS for Business Communications
Many business associates prefer to share content and collaborate via chat or SMS. Text messaging is popular because of the accessibility and ease it provides. Sending a quick text message to a boss, coworker, intern, or client can take less effort than the sometimes-lengthy process of an email. The limited nature of texts helps users keep it short, sweet and to-the-point.
With the robust UC Softphone app, users can chat with coworkers on the system instantly. Send individual messages or send text messages through SMS-enabled numbers. Brainstorming sessions can occur instantaneously and collaboration can flourish.
