3 Questions to Ask a Prospective UCaaS Provider

Make the Best Decision for Your Company’s Communication Technology

Unified communications (UC) help businesses of all sizes boost collaboration and productivity while eliminating confusing communication systems. With unified communications as a service (UCaaS), your company’s phones, email, file sharing, teleconferencing, desktop sharing, chat, and much more can be integrated into one platform across all devices. 

The most effective UC implementations are hosted, cloud-based platforms that are easy to manage. However, not all approaches to UC are the same, and neither are all UC providers. 

To ensure you’re working with the best UCaaS company for your McKinney, TX business, ask your potential provider the following three questions. And if you’d like to learn more about unified communication solutions and commercial AV, you can sign up for our free monthly newsletter here.

 1. Can Your UC Services Scale with My Business?

As your company grows, your technology needs to grow with it, too. If you have a new platform implemented this year, and next year you find that you’re ready to scale, you need to make sure your UC platform can be easily replicated and upgraded.

For example, you might not need a customer support call center now, but if you open a new office down the line, you may find a call center necessary. Will your UC provider’s solutions support customization and automatically provide software updates? What happens when there are new hires on your team? These are essential questions to ask your potential UC provider. 

2. Will Your Services Support Remote Locations?

Your communications aren’t really unified unless they support all of your physical locations, including remote staff’s home offices. Cloud-based UCaaS can be rolled out on a location-by-location basis, which is perfect for offices that may require a mix of communication solutions. You need a private, secure infrastructure with mobile access and a reliable point of contact for all your locations. 

3. Do You Provide Ongoing Maintenance and Support?

A major difference between a so-so UCaaS vendor and an excellent one is customer support. If something isn’t working right, you need to speak with a real person as soon as possible. Ask your provider about their customer support system. Will they be there for all your needs, from a simple question to an emergency? 

Choosing a UCaaS provider should be a careful decision. But if you’re looking for a UC company that checks off all of these boxes, Texadia Systems is McKinney, TX’s local expert in unified communication solutions.
