Unify Square debuts new collaborative management tools

As communication and collaboration platforms become an increasingly essential element of the digital workplace, so too has the need to manage the variety, health, and scale of these platforms. To simplify the chaos, Unify Square™ unveiled a new suite of cross-platform collaboration management and security tools available as part of an expanded version of its PowerSuite™ software.

Moving beyond the company’s established Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business focus, Unify Square will begin launching dedicated offerings for Zoom Video Communications, Inc., Slack, and Workplace by Facebook in the coming months. With this announcement, PowerSuite becomes the first enterprise IT management solution to comprehensively address meetings, chats, videos, and calls with a single, cross-platform tool. 

According to IDC, the market for enterprise messaging and collaboration is expected to reach $3.2 billion by 2021. Slack has emerged as the early driver of much of that growth within the collaboration-specific sector, while Zoom drives huge growth for video communications, and Microsoft bridges its voice legacy with new collaboration functionality in Microsoft Teams. Yet the market category remains fragmented and will likely continue so for some time, with pockets of multiple platforms operating inside organizations. This fragmentation, driven in part by shadow IT alternatives, leaves businesses at risk for security breaches while forcing enterprise IT to make trade-offs between the needs of the employee and larger business considerations. With this expansion of its PowerSuite software, Unify Square is taking an integrated approach to platform monitoring, troubleshooting, end-user experience issues, and governance to give enterprise IT teams the tools they need to effectively, efficiently, and holistically manage collaboration.

“The digital workplaces of today have been forced to take a platform-by-platform approach to collaboration. Our PowerSuite software is already known for its innovation in the unified communications market, and will now bring that same expertise and originality to help enterprise IT work under one, cohesive collaboration and communications strategy,” said John Case, CEO of Unify Square. “This new product expansion represents both an evolution of the Unify Square corporate vision, as well as a notable step forward for the broader enterprise collaboration market. We look forward to working with Zoom, Slack, and Workplace by Facebook as we create this new category of cross-platform IT management solutions.”
