What Communications look like today in the workplace
Microsoft’s Vision for Unified Communications
Use the power of software to deliver complete communications - messaging, voice, and video - across the applications and devices that
people use every day.
http://www.microsoft.com/uc
We work in teams
We want to reach other people easy
We don´t want to use 1000 tools and
programs
We have to save costs!
Today it is critical to have the right
information
We want to be mobile with the same
access!
Momentum in Microsoft UC
„…um die Vorgabe des Andritz Group Managements bezüglich Einsparungspotenzialen bei den Reise- und Telefonkosten umzusetzen, wurde das Projekt „Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 (OCS)“ mit dem Schwerpunkt Audioconferencing und Informations-/Applikationssharing mit Erfolg durchgeführt. Die Andritz AG geht davon aus, dass sich das Projekt aufgrund der Einsparungen innerhalb von 6 Monaten amortisieren wird.“
Alfred Reitmaier April 2009, Senior Manager Network & Communications
Momentum in Microsoft UC

‘Is Microsoft Winning the CRM race?” July 2008, E. Brent Kelly
Microsoft has extended its software approach into voice to provide a comprehensive solution offering with open plug-in interfaces to enable Web developers to develop innovative UC applications.
