This, the business says, provides a solution for CFOs who are scrambling to keep up with spiralling multi-cloud and software licensing costs.</span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telviva, which prides itself on </span><a href=\"https://telviva.co.za/telviva-one/?utm_source=businessmaverick&utm_medium=advertorial&utm_campaign=april&utm_content=telvivaone\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enabling better quality conversations through context-driven cloud UCaas and CCaaS</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, consolidates multiple communication channels to improve customer acquisition, retention and support. Telviva's Chief Commercial Officer says that in modern multi-cloud environments, costs can creep up with messy functionality overlaps, and that this cannot be justified. </span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says it was clear the market needed a single, cost-effective solution that could provide full UC&C functionality that included the ability to accept incoming interactions from multiple channels with full context for each engagement. </span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“We needed to come up with a total solution that can be managed through a single pane of glass. This needed to be both cost-effective and rand-based in an environment where businesses are forced to deal with the volatility of dollar and euro-based licensing,” he says.</span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Various teams often add different licences and before long the CFO discovers a stack of different licenses often with overlapping functionality which is not just messy, it is a waste of money. We </span><a href=\"https://telviva.co.za/telviva-one/?utm_source=businessmaverick&utm_medium=advertorial&utm_campaign=april&utm_content=telvivaone\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">designed Telviva One Premium as a solution to the quandaries coming up in multi-cloud service environments</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,” says Lith.</span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He explains that the changes were driven by the market. “Everyone has been asking for CRM integrations because it is the heart of where all conversations are happening. Without the CRM integration, you can’t provide context for engagements to business users, such as knowing the name of the incoming caller and the full history of engagements, including resolved and unresolved queries. This needed to be bundled into the solution so that businesses don’t need to engage yet another service provider to do the integration. </span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telviva One integrates with popular CRM systems such as Salesforce, Zendesk and Zoho, bringing the context of interactions from CRMs, along with other digital interaction channels into a single pane of glass. </span></p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2154651 size-full\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Telviva-One-integration.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1137\" /></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Similarly, for teams to be able to handle incoming interactions from various channels, we have bundled in our highly popular Engage product,” Lith adds. Telviva Engage enables multi-channel engagement for customer-facing teams, by bringing together real-time web chat and instant messengers, such as WhatsApp.</span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says businesses now have a single solution to address widely shared frustrations typical in cloud environments. Lith explains that as more and more businesses move towards true omni channel communication functionality, having a one-stop solution sold in rands will likely be a breath of fresh air for the market. </span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telviva One seamlessly synchronises fixed-line and mobile voice, video, and chat, on our all-in-one communications platform. Get cost-effective access to your business communications from anywhere, at any time, on any device. </span><a href=\"https://telviva.co.za/telviva-one/?utm_source=businessmaverick&utm_medium=advertorial&utm_campaign=april&utm_content=telvivaone\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us today</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>DM/BM</strong></span></span></p><p><strong>Rob Lith: Chief Commercial Officer at Telviva</strong></p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2154656 size-medium\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rob-Lith-Chief-Commercial-Officer-at-Telviva.jpg?w=320\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" /></p><p> </p><p><em><b>About Telviva</b></em></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telviva is a market leader in cloud-based communications and strives to enable better quality conversations for businesses through context-driven Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) and Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS).</span></p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seamlessly integrating voice calls, PBX, video conferencing, instant messaging, contact centre, and business intelligence into one single service, Telviva simplifies collaboration, boosts productivity, and enhances customer experiences.
