Service management isn’t an entirely new concept in the business world, but for many years, it’s been relegated mainly to the IT industry. As IT and communications become increasingly intertwined, we’re seeing a rapid increase in the number of service management tools, software, and solutions designed for the UC space.
With the UC industry expanding at a growth rate of 20.5%, and more companies switching to unified ecosystems to manage trends like hybrid work and digital transformation, the number of vendors providing service management tools is growing.
Today, we’ll be looking at just some of the most innovative vendors worth checking out if you’re interested in powerful tools for monitoring and optimising your technology.
Microsoft
Though Microsoft doesn’t actively advertise any “UCSM” tools, the company is increasingly investing in more ways for companies to manage their communication stack remotely, provision users in a hybrid world, and track call quality. The company is one of the market leaders on the cutting edge of the UCaaS space today, with a range of tools to help empower teams in the age of hybrid work.
The centre also makes it easier to keep track of a range of analytics, providing insights into employee engagement, communications, and performance. With the rise of various new forms of Operator Connect, companies can even control third-party connections to the telephony landscape in an integrated Teams environment, rather than using an external portal.
Cisco
One of the primary companies offering UCSM solutions before they had an official title, Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager, is an excellent example of the tools today’s business leaders need to empower their team. The Unified CM ecosystem provides reliable, scalable, secure, and manageable call control technologies in an easy-to-use environment.
Cisco’s UCSM technology makes it easier to consolidate your communication infrastructure, keep track of teams, and manage assets from a distance. You can support employees wherever they are with an open and interoperable ecosystem capable of supporting a wide range of gateways and industry standards. There’s even high-level security and compliance built-in.
VOSS Solutions
A leading innovator in UC Service Management with artificial intelligence and automation features, VOSS has been introducing the world to the power of UCSM for several years. The company specialises in offering high levels of automation and intelligence to boost team productivity, unlock savings, and fuel new levels of business growth.
VOSS are potent partners for businesses amid digital transformation, with a range of digital workplace management, monitoring tools, and business process automation. The company can even make it easier to migrate from one communication environment to another in a hybrid and remote work world while keeping costs low and security levels high.
Logitech
Logitech is one of the top companies in the communications market today for UC service management focused on endpoint control and provisioning. Built for the age of hybrid work, Logitech Sync supports workforces of all sizes in transitioning to work-from-home technology. You can keep track of everything from firmware to security patches in one space.
