It is possible, but there are considerations to be aware of. UC requires significant expertise and experience with enterprise messaging technology; this experience is not common in the marketplace and thus it cannot be recommended as a general solution for small businesses. UC also requires significant additional investment in hardware, software, and client licenses that put it out of the reach of nearly all small business owners. Smaller, more appropriately-scaled communications technologies such as Microsoft Response Point are a preferred solution for small businesses.
