One of the greatest advantages of a hosted cloud phone system or a “as a service offering” is that it is software that always being improved and just like getting updates for your PC’s, Mac’s, and Cell Phones, a hosted phone system will continue to be state of the art and every year new features are simply pushed down to your phones.

Today we are pleased to announce that we have rolled out our new Blueline Unified Communications Client … the Blueline UCC

What is Unified Communications (UCC)?

Well it integrates enterprise communication services such as Instant Messaging and Chat, Presence information, VoiceExtension Mobility,  Single Number Reach, audio, web & Video Conferencing, Desktop Sharing, Unified Voicemail Messaging with full transcription (additional fee for optional google transcription applies).

You will have single web browser window that gives you all the communications capabilities our customers told us they wanted. Now you will want to be sure and have notification sounds coming through your computer monitor or speakers, you will want to have a USB or Bluetooth connected headset and a USB camera makes the video cam for the video communication. Logitech makes plenty of very nice web cam’s you can use.

We love the Plantronics Savi line of headset’s please email us at [email protected] or call us at 877-551-0811 and we would be glad to help you select the right headset.
