Sprint announced the expansion of its fully managed and cloud-based unified communications (UC) solution, Sprint Complete Collaboration, to include Microsoft Lync. Mid-sized and large businesses can improve collaboration among employees, no matter where they are located or what device they are using, thus boosting productivity and decision-making. Deployed over an all-IP network, Sprint Complete Collaboration helps to ensure the reliability and quality of real-time collaborative applications.

Additionally, it offers flexibility based on an employee's mobile needs. Given the media-rich mobile devices available today, cloud-based UC can help enhance BYOD programs by enabling a seamless collaboration experience to tablets and mobile phones while supporting multiple operating systems. Mobile employees can join meetings, check presence and availability, and use instant messaging while away from the office. Unlike competitive offers, Sprint's approach is comprehensive with SIP Trunking and enhanced mobility integrated into every user package.

SIP Trunking provides more efficient trunking options through aggregation and bursting, significantly reducing costs, as well as an end-to-end UC platform with a consistent experience across all collaboration tools, operating systems and endpoints.
