UC will save SMBs businesses significant costs,dramatically raise their productivity, and raise the bar in terms of who they can compete against in business. These are benefits every small business needs at any stage of its life, but they are particularly critical during the challenging economic times in which companies are operating today. Providing Small businesses access to affordable, business-critical solutions are an extremely valuable proposition for small businesses especially where the decisions on technology typically lie directly with the business owners and senior revenue generating managers.
The idea of if it is not broke do not fix it is a strong proposition to SMBS and the reason why Churn in infrastructure is not in high demand. Adding applications to what they have or existing infrastructure has a big appeal! It dramatically lowers the disruption caused by the introduction of the new technology and increases the learning curve so they can reach their ROI and productivity gains sooner.

Unified communications in action
Given the sophistication of unified communications technology, its uses are many With unified communications, instant messaging and presence could be built into core business application for businesses. It enables users to know where their colleagues are physically located (say, their car or home office). They also have the ability to see which mode of communication the recipient prefers to use at any given time (perhaps their cell phone, or email, or instant messaging).
Business benefits of unified communications
Unified communications helps businesses, small and large alike, to streamline information delivery and ensure ease of use. Human delays are also minimized or eliminated, resulting in better, faster interaction and service-delivery for the customer, and cost savings for the business. Unified communications also allows for easier, more direct collaboration between co-workers and with suppliers and clients, even if they are not physically on the same site.
Who is it for?
Unified communications is very useful for knowledge workers, information workers, and service workers alike, many of whom may cross the lines between the three sectors on a daily or hourly basis, depending on the task and the client. With an increasingly mobile workforce, businesses are rarely centralized in one location. Unified communications facilitates this on-the-go, always-available style of communication.

Systems Integrators are Best Positioned to Benefit from Unified Communications Growth.
Leading telecommunications research and analysis firms indicate the Future of Unified Communications is in the hands of the System integrators as they will be the ones implementing and consulting on best practises.
Key points around the acceptance of UC in the coming years are:
UC is the killer application that the market has been searching for throughout the past 3-4 years of IP Telephony’s boom ;
The adoption of UC solutions is currently slow. It will be 4-5 years before UC completely penetrates enterprises, as most UC installations today are still pilots;
UC requires a high level of staff training and will challenge the way organisations have been running for the past decade; change usually causes slow transition because of Fear of the unknown
Having conquered the enterprise desktop, Microsoft is poised to be the biggest threat to any current or potential UC player as it is approaching the market in the pursuit of gaining control of hardware to complement its software capabilities.
Rapid growth of SaaS applications will compete head to head with Microsoft product offering. It will deliver fixed cost model with limited infrastructure investment and or change. It will be the easiest solution to deploy with greater simplicity to the enterprise
Both Enterprise Telephony Vendors and Telephony Channels need to be prepared for the coming wave of non-telephony players to the Enterprise Communications Space, such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, and even Salesforce.com. They need to recognise that their competitors are no longer confined to traditional telephony players, and explicit IT companies. The main non-telephony players playing in the Enterprise Communications space today are, Microsoft, Google, Skype, Yahoo.
We will see an onslaught of various UC announcements from all market players. "Unified Communications is a long-term strategy, and the best thing any vendor, channel or customer can do in the short term is be informed on the latest market movements around anything even slightly related to UC.
Systems Integrators ae the Only Channels Capable of Unified Communications Sales Today
They can design, implement and deploy UC properly with large complex infrastructure. existing telephony sales channels must either hire this expertise or partner/acquire a business services partner that will be able to complement their technology and industry expertise. The outlook for SI’s is a very bright one.
