👉 Fun fact:

Many companies that used to be just telephony or on-premises business phone system providers are now evolving to become unified communications platforms. The tricky part here is that although these companies have been around for a while and made a name for themselves, their technology is quite old. TL; DR - Not all UCaaS are equal—make sure you do your research if you’re shopping for one.

👉 Did you know?

Dialpad has a global voice network and is built on a unique dual-cloud architecture, which is designed for excellent call quality—always important if you talk to important clients and prospects on the phone regularly.

🚨 Look out for:

UCaas or CCaaS providers that claim they have a “unified platform” when they’re actually just reselling or whitelabelling other companies’ software under their own brand. Typically, this will result in a disjointed experience when you start to use the product—for example, you might have a different UCaaS login experience compared to the CCaaS login experience, they might have a completely different user interface, and so on.
