Your Bridge to the Cloud

what-employees-want-moving-forward_nec

On-premises phone systems were built for an era where most work happened in the office, and voice was the primary mode of communication. In today's changing business environment, the traditional work style of going into an office everyday has morphed into a hybrid one — office, office & remote, or fully remote. The modern workforce requires a flexible and mobile workspace – where they can use a multitude of communication tools to stay connected with colleagues and customers – and work from wherever life takes them.

With UNIVERGE BLUE CONNECT BRIDGE, you can extend your existing NEC phone system with cloud-based voice via desktop and mobile apps creating a seamless all-in-one communications experience. It enables you to collaborate in the office, at home, or anywhere in between with integrated video conferencing, chat, and file sharing/backup.
