PBM IT Unified Communications Solutions are Cisco Gold Partner certified. Our staff is uniquely qualified to handle your Unified Communications needs.

Cisco Unified Communications enables collaboration across companies and work spaces.

Unified communications offers choice in how software applications can be deployed - onsite, hosted or on-demand.

Call routing over the Internet has profound implications. Companies can now employ distributed work forces, unhindered by geographic boundaries. Teleworkers will be given internal phone numbers that relate to direct inward dialing (DID) blocks registered to the closest office. The teleworker phenomenon has the ability to greatly reduce real estate costs associated with each worker. Teleworkers benefit from reduction of transportation costs and being able to spend more quality time with family and friends.

The Cisco Unified Communication System the first to fully support Cisco SONA that extends the power of the data network to optimize applications, processes and resources to deliver greater business benefits to enterprises.

The Cisco Unified Presence Server collects information about a user's status, such as whether or not they are using a device such as a telephone, personal computer or video terminal at a particular time. Using this information, applications such as Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and Cisco Unified CallManager can help users connect with colleagues more efficiently by determining the most effective method of communication. The Cisco Unified Presence Server aggregates presence information from the network as well as Cisco Unified CallManager and third-party devices using SIP and SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) and then publishes that information to Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and third-party services and applications such as IBM Lotus Sametime and Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS) 2005.

Combining your voice and data systems makes it easier to keep in touch and share information. Team members can easily find each other and customers can be quickly routed to the best resources.

Companies using integrated voice and Web conferencing reported a 30 percent reduction in conferencing expenses (by making integrated conferencing capabilities available in-house and on-network) and an average savings of $1,700 per month in travel costs.

Cisco management software provides comprehensive network managemen for the entire Cisco Unified Communications solution, helping to increase operational efficiency through advanced monitoring, alerting, diagnostics, provisioning, and reporting capabilities.

The ability to quickly develop and easily manage customized applications: Cisco Unified Application Environment 2.5, a rich portfolio of applications and development tools, makes it possible for web or enterprise developers, who have not yet developed telephony and unified communications skills, to use their current development tools to quickly and easily integrate network services and advanced unified communications capabilities (such as presence) with other business applications or develop entirely new transformational applications.

Cisco offers a wide range of multimedia conferencing solutions that integrate voice, video, and web conferencing capabilities to make remote meetings natural and effective. According to Frost & Sullivan, Cisco is the market leader in both web conferencing and on-premises voice conferencing.

Unified Communications applications lead to more effect effective communication. Beyond replacing a traditional channel for contacting employees, Unified Communications applications also enable smarter communication. Employees can consult the best method for reaching coworkers before even initiating contact, thereby improving the efficiency in their interactions with others.

The Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series for Small Businesses, or UC 500, is essentially a scaled-down version of Cisco's ISR (Integrated Services Router) platform. The UC 500 sports an eight-port PoE switch, 4 FXO (analog line) ports, 4 FXS ports (to connect analog phones), one Ethernet WAN connection port and one uplink port to connect an external switch. The UC 500 comes preloaded with both Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, which handles call routing and other VoIP functions, and Cisco Unity Express, which handles more advanced applications like voicemail and auto attendant/interactive voice response. All the features you'd expect are in there, including conferencing, intercom, and hold music from an internal file or an external source via the UC 500's audio jack.

Cisco supports the ability to develop and manage customized applications. Cisco Unified Application Environment allows development of innovative applications that help organizations integrate the telephony capabilities of Cisco Unified Communications Manager into the business processes for increased productivity. Cisco Unified Application Environment uses a simplified interface that makes developing applications intuitive for developers and reduces the need for specialized knowledge of telephony protocols.

With automated voice self-service solutions—including Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal and Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response (IP IVR)—many calls do not require agent assistance. Cisco voice self-service solutions use automated speech recognition and text-to-speech to enable callers to obtain personalized answers to increasingly complex questions and conduct business in new and innovative ways. Customers can, for example, pay bills, order products, and track deliveries—all without the costs of interacting with a live agent. The open architecture of Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal allows callers to access content also used in Web-based interactions, resulting in a consistent customer experience, regardless of the self-service media channel.

The Cisco Unified Communications System first emerged into the business world in March of 2006. As an integrated collection of data, video, and voice applications, the system was made to enable businesses of every size to have the ability to transmit information more effectively, which would in turn cause these businesses to operate more efficiently.
