Unified Communications And Collaboration (UCC)

The Most Common Network Problems With UCC

UCC requires a tightly optimized network with the correct bandwidth and unified data-collection systems. 

Unfortunately, all too often when a company is deploying UCC, infrastructure problems do not reveal themselves until implementation. These problems are far more costly to solve at this late stage – in fact, they can be roughly 30-50 times more expensive than if they had been diagnosed and fixed during the initial network assessment. 

The following are some of the most common problems that businesses and organizations face when implementing UCC:

• Lack of sufficient bandwidth: Bandwidth refers to the data transfer capacity of a network. UCC solutions require more bandwidth than traditional voice systems. Without enough capacity, your UCC applications will not work correctly and may even cause your network to crash.
• Lack of quality of service (QoS): QoS is essential for VoIP and video applications, which require real-time delivery of packets. Without QoS, voice and video quality will be poor, and the applications may not work.
• Lack of adequate security: UCC applications often share sensitive information, making security a critical concern. Without proper security measures, your data could be at risk of being intercepted or hacked.
• Lack of interoperability: UCC applications must be able to work together to be effective. Without interoperability, different applications will not be able to communicate with each other, making collaboration between employees and departments more difficult.
• Lack of management and monitoring tools: It will be difficult to troubleshoot problems with your UCC system without proper management and monitoring tools. The inability to troubleshoot can lead to reduced productivity and increased costs.
