Unison: Unified Communications Software

A sponsor supported version of Unison has been launched, allowing SMBs to benefit from fully-unified communications free of charge.

Unison, the world’s first sponsor-supported enterprise application, offers an alternative to Microsoft Exchange or Google Apps.

Unison is Linux and Windows-based, and can be downloaded for free at www.unison.com, and no licence is required.

The software could save a 50-employee company using software such as Lotus Notes, over £65,000 a year.

Unison integrates email, IM, telephony, calendars and contacts into a single server and client, and provides the security of operating behind a company’s firewall, unlike hosted solutions such as Google Apps.

Michael Choupak, chief executive officer of Unison Technologies, the creator of Unison, said, “This represents a new era for the software industry – and a direct challenge to the traditional model of overpriced software. As the first sponsor-supported free business software, Unison gives businesses the combined power of applications like Microsoft Exchange and a Cisco PBX – but at zero cost.”
