The new UC-One app additions that enhance group collaboration include updates to ‘My Room', which allows users to meet in virtual chat rooms in order to chat, share files and talk without it being necessary to send intricate, written instructions. ‘My Room' now includes moderator controls and video conferencing, which both guarantee the efficient sharing of information and promote quick decision making. In addition, external visitors can now participate in ‘My Room' via group instant messaging, video and audio conferencing and sharing capabilities.

The new UC-One app additions that enhance individual productivity include ‘iBeacon' integration; the industry's first integration with Apple devices. ‘iBeacon' more accurately identifies an individual's location within the workplace, for example; the conference room.This enables colleagues to choose the most efficient communication option. The new UC-One app also features a new personal assistant feature which integrates a worker's availability with voice calling. This can be controlled fully from within the user's UC-One app; it informs callers if someone is unavailable and gives advice with regard to the best times to contact them.

All of these additional enhancements are able to be accessed via both of BroadSoft's platforms; BroadWorks (software), BroadCloud (cloud services) and through BroadConnect Telecom's Hosted Platform.
