Cisco UC-One vs. West Unified Communications Services (discontinued)

UC-One is an extremely versatile app that works well in literally a single user shop, or a multi-hundred user company - especially for those who need mobility options to conduct business properly. With its built-in collaboration features, built-in softphone, and just general instant messaging features it allows you to work literally anywhere you have an internet connection. It is also handy in case there are onsite issues preventing you from using your hard phone (such as power or internet issues) where your cellphone will allow you to continue to work.

We moved to Cisco UC-One because we wanted an integrated program to provide unified communication services as well as the ability to meet, message and share documents. The cost differential was minimal when you realize the time and convenience of Cisco UC-One. Our team down load the app to their cell and have one fewer device to carry, too.

We only use intercall and always have, our in house phone system is Cisco.
