Unified communications and collaboration strategies go beyond VoIP and IP telephony. They help organizations bring together communication and collaboration silos across traditional business boundaries. By providing users with a single, integrated business experience across business applications, communications and collaboration tools, organizations can cultivate more dynamic business systems and more effective business communications. They can build more flexible, real-time business models, allowing them to respond more quickly to emerging marketplace opportunities and competitive threats.

By adopting unified communications and collaboration solutions, organizations can address critical needs, such as improving productivity and responsiveness through real-time collaboration, supporting an increasingly complex and distributed business network and meeting the communications needs of employees no matter where they are, anytime, anywhere.

IBM's Unified Communications and Collaboration solutions make it easier for people to find, reach and collaborate through a converged communications experience.

Integrating communications and collaboration in a rich, multimedia experience — one that can include unified telephony, voice, video communications, instant messaging, Web conferencing, e-mail, voice mail, and business processes and applications — enables a whole new way for individuals, teams and communities to work together in a collaborative and productive manner.
