Unified Voice

Unified Voice = A communication solution that integrates various voice services, such as voice calls, voicemail, and messaging, into a single platform for improved efficiency and user experience.
VoIP (Voice over IP) = A technology that allows voice communication to be transmitted over the internet rather than traditional phone lines, forming the backbone of unified voice solutions.
IP telephony = A system that uses internet protocols for voice communication, allowing voice calls to be made over IP networks instead of conventional telephone lines.
Voice gateway = A device that connects voice networks, such as traditional telephony networks and VoIP, enabling communication between different types of voice services.
Softphone = A software application that enables voice communication over the internet using a computer or mobile device, functioning as a virtual phone.
Call forwarding = A feature that allows incoming calls to be redirected to another phone number or device, ensuring calls are not missed in unified voice systems.
Voicemail = A system for receiving, storing, and retrieving recorded voice messages when the recipient is unavailable, often integrated with unified voice platforms.
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) = A system that allows users to interact with a phone system using voice commands or keypad inputs, often used for call routing and self-service.
Call center integration = The process of connecting unified voice systems with call center platforms to enhance customer support and streamline communication.
Conference calling = A service that enables multiple participants to join a single call, allowing for group conversations and collaboration in unified voice systems.
Voice mail-to-email = A feature that sends voice messages received in voicemail to an email inbox, making it easier to access messages from any device.
Call analytics = Tools and systems that track and analyze voice call data, including duration, frequency, and quality, to improve communication management.
SIP trunking = A service that connects voice communication systems to the internet, allowing businesses to make and receive calls via the internet, often used in unified voice solutions.
Unified communication (UC) = A broader solution that integrates voice, video, messaging, and collaboration tools into a single platform to enhance communication across organizations.
Cloud voice = Voice services provided through cloud-based systems, enabling businesses to make and receive calls over the internet without relying on traditional phone infrastructure.
Voice over broadband (VoBB) = A type of VoIP service that uses broadband internet connections to transmit voice communication, often included in unified voice offerings.
Presence management = A feature that allows users to manage their availability status, such as “available,” “busy,” or “away,” integrated with unified voice systems to facilitate real-time communication.
Unified voicemail = A system that consolidates all voicemail messages from different devices (mobile, landline, VoIP) into a single inbox, accessible through one interface.
Call routing = The process of directing incoming calls to the appropriate person or department based on pre-set rules, often used in unified voice systems to improve efficiency.
