What is Unified Communications?
Unified communications – often simply referred to as unified comms – is not a single product or service, but a connected collection of elements that enable effective business communication. Gartner defines unified comms as the devices, software and services that provide and unify communication types and channels, such as voice, video, chat and instant messaging, voicemail, and content sharing. This often also includes control, management, and underpinning connectivity.
With so many types of technologies and ways of working, it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to unified communications. We’re here to help you on your way. Whether you need us to build a customised unified comms platform, or provide end-to-end consultancy on your journey, the 848 team is here to support you.

At 848, we take the approach that unified comms, connectivity and collaboration are most effective when they work in harmony.

Instant messaging is an increasingly popular business communication tool much as it is popular in our personal lives.
