UNIVERGE BLUE CONNECT

What UNIVERGE BLUE CONNECT is

UNIVERGE BLUE CONNECT is a cloud-based communications service that brings business calling, chat, video meetings, screen sharing, file management and conference calling together. Its calling service includes more than 100 enterprise-grade features, and pricing is based on the number of users rather than phone lines. Pricing is available on request, and the product page offers a demo request.

CONNECT supports Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Its desktop and mobile apps handle calls, chat, presence, screen sharing, video meetings, file sharing and voicemail management. The product page describes AI transcription for recorded calls, meetings and voicemail, as well as a generative AI tool in chat. Businesses can integrate CONNECT with Microsoft Teams or use it alongside Teams; the Teams Advanced option includes call queues and monitor, whisper and barge controls. Listed CRM integrations include Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Zoho, SugarCRM and Oracle NetSuite, with functions such as click-to-call and incoming-call screen pops. CONNECT PRO and PRO Plus include 10 GB of UNIVERGE BLUE SHARE storage, file co-editing and access across desktop, mobile and web. The service advertises 24/7 live-expert support and requires no phone-system hardware to buy, install, manage, upgrade or replace.

Who it suits

CONNECT suits businesses looking to bring calling, messaging, meetings and file collaboration into one cloud communications service. It may also suit teams using Microsoft Teams or one of the listed CRM systems, and organizations that want calling priced by user count rather than lines.
