What is Unified Contact Management (UCM)?
Are you still struggling to locate contact information on a mish-mash of spreadsheets, USB drives, sticky notes, or third-party apps on your handheld? Unified contact management, or UCM, is the continuous activity of optimizing contact information so that it will always be ready at your fingertips on a day-to-day basis and in any emergency situation. We describe UCM as encompassing the optimization of contact data because UCM solutions from itrezzo continually improve the accuracy and completeness of contact data, and boost its value to the organization by intelligently combining contact from multiple sources to create a trusted superset of contact data, and finally disseminate the data to the most valuable point of usage: the address book of smart phones carried, in most cases, by employees. Typical recipients of this optimized contact data will include first responders, crisis teams, disaster response staff, sales staffs, and senior leaders.
How itrezzo Delivers UCM Capability
- Detects or collects the most current or accurate contact information from all available sources
- Combines contact data from these multiple sources to form a trusted superset of the best and most current contact data
- Distributes changes of contacts and other content to any mobile device that leverages Microsoft Exchange
- Automatically refreshes contact information per chosen schedule
- Pushes contact information to external allied and parent organizations
To deliver UCM capabilities, the itrezzo Unified Contact Manager, a software platform and infrastructure, automates virtually all aspects of the acquisition, updating, combining, and dissemination of enterprise contact data.
