Transforming the way you Communicate
Challenging economic times present extraordinary opportunities. But taking advantage of those opportunities means making bold business decisions that go beyond simply cutting back and continuing with business-as-usual. Historically, businesses that have weathered down economies and come out on top have not only reduced operating expenses and avoided new capital expenditures; they have invested saved cash in ways that positively transformed their business. Microsoft® software-powered Unified Communications can help you cut costs and better position your business for the economic rebound by transforming the way you communicate and collaborate while maximizing your existing communications infrastructure.
Businesses can lower out-of-pocket expenses by reducing travel expenses and conferencing service charges with unified conferencing, and you can cut telephone tolls and cell phone charges with software-powered VoIP. Unified Communications enables you to avoid capital expenditures by optimizing your communications infrastructure, including consolidating messaging, telephony, and voice mail systems and by eliminating expensive storage systems.
Breaking down Communication Silo's
As communications technologies have evolved over the years, they have done so independently, in parallel with one another, creating disparate communications silos. These silos have led to redundancies and inefficiencies for both the end user and the administrator. End users are forced to juggle multiple user-names and passwords to access different communications services, while administrators must manage redundant communications environments for e-mail, voice mail, telephony, conferencing, and instant messaging. Unified Communications breaks the silos to reduce costs and communication overload and bring together globally distributed employees, customers, and partners. By integrating e-mail, telephony, instant messaging, voice mail, calendaring, and audio/video/Web conferencing, it’s easier and more cost-effective than ever to collaborate.
