  • Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications As a Service, Worldwide
    LICENSED FOR DISTRIBUTION Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide Published: 23 August 2016 ID: G00291960 Analyst(s): Daniel O'Connell, Bern Elliot Summary UCaaS is now a viable alternative for many (not all) enterprise deployments. Enterprise planners should look for expanded global capacity, better customer service and project management, an expanded set of APIs, and the ability to deploy a richer set of UC functionality led by mobility and video. Market Definition/Description This document was revised on 30 August 2016. The document you are viewing is the corrected version. For more information, see the Corrections page on gartner.com. Unified communications as a service (UCaaS) supports the same functions as its premises-based unified communications (UC) counterpart. The chief difference is that UCaaS adheres to a cloud service delivery model. Gartner therefore uses the same six broad communications functions for both (see Note 1 for detailed definitions): • Voice and telephony, including mobility support • Conferencing — Audioconferencing, videoconferencing and web conferencing • Messaging — Email with voice mail and unified messaging (UM) • Presence and instant messaging (IM) • Clients — Including desktop clients and thin browser clients • Communications-enabled applications — For example, integrated collaboration and contact center applications Two types of cloud delivery architectures are in the UCaaS market. The first is multitenant, in which all customers share a common (single) software instance. The second is multi-instance, in which each customer receives its own software instance. Both the multitenant and multi-instance architectures possess such cloud characteristics as shared infrastructure (for example, data centers, racks, common equipment and blades), shared tools (for example, provisioning, performance and network management tools), per-user-per-month pricing, and elasticity to dynamically add and subtract users.

    Verizon Up To Speed Live Friday, July 24, 2020 _Redefining Communication Access www.acscaptions.com _ [Music]. >> Hello my name is Christallyne Pagulayan I'm currently an indirect account manager based here in viva Las Vegas. I've been with Verizon for ten years now ten years this month I was born and raised in the Philippines. About 40 minutes or an hour from Manila. I've always been that person that's always like a go-getter let's go after it let's go. I traveled with my flipflops with one luggage and $500 in my pocket. All I knew was I was going to San Francisco. I had a map and my American Dream. Until now it still gives me goosies when I think about it I'm like oh, my God what was I thinking I arrived it was freezing cold I used my $500 to get boots I was freezing Verizon said they were hiring for part-time service rep long story short I got the job for me along the way the journey with Verizon my journey in the uses being resilient and patience and compassion helped me in my life where I came from in the Philippines there's places where they don't have electricity. I am so thankful that Verizon has provided me the means of being able to help out. So last month along with my high school classmates we were able to generate almost 300,000 pesos so we could buy basic needs, basic food and basic medical supplies and here in Vegas every weekend I make masks with my mother.
