Hello , Please I am trying to differentiate between Telepresence and Unified Communications. Can you let me know what the fundamental differences are between the two.

Hi Ofor,
What Is Cisco TelePresence?
Cisco TelePresence combines high-quality audio, high-definition video, and interactive elements to deliver an in-person meeting experience over your network.
What Is Unified Communications?
Unified communications systems bring together voice, video, data, and mobile applications.
As precursors to unified communications, IP telephony and IP communications solutions enabled organizations to streamline business processes and reduce costs. For years, companies have realized the benefits that carrying voice, data, and video communications across a common, IP infrastructure can bring.
From these, unified communications solutions have evolved and offer even greater benefits. Unified communications applications are actually integrated to create a workspace in which communications users can choose how and when to be connected and available. Besides helping organizations integrate their communications more closely with business processes, unified communications ensures that information reaches recipients quickly, through the most appropriate medium, no matter where they may be working or what device they may be using.
Unified communications allows businesses to collaborate in real time using advanced applications from an integrated, easy-to-use interface. These applications include:
Video conferencing
Integrated voice and Web conferencing
Mobile IP soft phones
Voicemail, and more
Database access and queries
Customer information
Hope this helps!
