About Unified Communications
Excell's Unified Communication (UC) solution is a result of the evolving approach to communications that our customers have. Our solutions can dramatically improve employee effectiveness as each attempt at communicating has a far better chance of reaching the right person at the right time using the optimum medium. Unified communications can include a variety of elements, such as instant messaging, telephony, video, email, voicemail, and short message services, all of which can be brought into real time and coordinated. The concept of presence is also a factor - knowing where the  intended recipients are and if they are available. To put it simply, unified communications integrates all the systems that a user might already be using and helps those systems work together in real time.

The Unified Communications Award
Many enterprises have installed converged solutions. In this category judges were looking for solutions 'beyond convergence', where the solution provider had integrated a whole range of unified communications technologies to deliver a really innovative business application. The judges were particularly looking for integration of voice, video and IM into traditional office or vertical market applications.  The awards are for real business solutions not just for providing products.
