"Facilities management company OCS employs 30,000 staff and provides cleaning, catering, security, sustainability and waste and carpark management services to a number of large UK customers, which include the Ministry of Defence, the NHS, Landrover and Birmingham Airport," writes Computing.co.uk's Martin Courtney.

"The firm . . . has been tracking the progress of unified communications (UC) for years.
