Organisations recognise the opportunity to drive efficiency, while improving quality of experience and collaboration between their users, customers and partners by moving their collaboration services to the cloud. However, adoption of these services involves complexity of maintaining high quality voice and video on a global scale. Tata Communications is in a unique position to be a trusted partner, simplifying the transition from legacy platforms by enabling connectivity solutions that realise the full potential of the cloud.
