Toshiba announces bundled UC product

Toshiba America Information Systems, a wholly-owned Toshiba subsidiary, announced the availability of a bundled unified communications product that ships in a single software load and runs on one server. Toshiba's Unified Communications Suite bundles the usual UC suspects such as presence, IM, click-to-call in applications, find-me follow-me dialing and FMC utility, and the applications all run over Toshiba's Media Application Server.

Toshiba Information Systems said the UC bundle will deliver cost savings and productivity gains to enterprises, while the single software load will keep installation simple. The product is immediately available through Toshiba resellers nationwide.

A recent report on unified communications deployments and market share by Synergy Research Group said Toshiba was struggling in addressing significant industry issues and maintaining market share in this area. Perhaps the new bundled offering can help the company increase traction in this segment.
