OREANDA-NEWS. CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) today announced the availability of CenturyLink Business Communicator, an application that connects business Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) users to their unified communications (UC) services from computers and devices.
CenturyLink Business Communicator makes it easy for a business's employees to launch their UC tools from an identical user interface when working inside or outside the office. CenturyLink's VoIP solutions include UC features such as high-definition voice and video calling, conferencing, desktop sharing, instant messaging and presence.  

"CenturyLink Business Communicator is a simple solution that can help employees connect and collaborate more easily, respond faster and work more effectively in teams," said Thuy Ha, director, product management, business solutions, CenturyLink.
