3. Acronym Definitions • Unified Messaging(or UM) is the integration of different streams of communication (e-mail, Fax, voice, etc) into a single, or, unified ”message store”, accessible from a variety of different devices. Unified messaging is a subset of a fully integrated Unified Communications system • Examples of UM products include: • Avaya Unified Messenger (or Avaya UM) • Avaya Modular Messaging (or MM) w/ Exchange or Lotus Notes Backend

5. Acronym Definitions • Unified communications(or UC) is "an industry term used to describe all forms of call and multimedia/cross-media message-management functions controlled by an individual user for both business and social purposes”. This potentially includes the integration of fixed and mobile voice, e-mail, instant messaging, presence, voice-mail, fax, audio, video and web conferencing, unified messaging, unified voicemail, and white-boarding into a single environment while offering the user a more complete but simpler and more effective experience. • Examples of UC products include: • Microsoft Exchange / Live Communications Server (or LCS) • Microsoft Exchange / Office Communications Server (or OCS) • IBM Lotus Notes / Sametime • Avaya Application Enablement Server(or AES) for OCS / LCS Presence and Click to Call

7. The difference between UM and UC Unified Communications is sometimes confused with Unified Messaging, but it is distinct. Unified Communications refers to a real-time delivery of communications based on the preferred method and location of the recipient; Unified Messaging systems culls messages from several sources (such as email, voice mail and faxes), but holds those messages for retrieval at a later time. Unified Communications can include a variety of elements, such as instant messaging, telephony, video, email, voicemail, and white-boarding all of which could be brought into real time and coordinated. The concept of presence is also a factor – knowing where one’s intended recipients are and if they are available, in real time – and is itself a key component of unified communications. To put it simply, Unified Communications integrates all the systems that a user might already be using and helps those systems work together in real time.
