The Mobile WorkforceWorkers will average nearly 40% of their time away from the desk – a factor that will massively play into mobilizing millions of corporate inboxes this year.*

In 2006 we estimate the number of mobile professionals (defined as spending at least 20% of their time away…) will grow to roughly two thirds of workers.*

The Microsoft UC Difference Microsoft Unified Communications is not a “network-vendor specific solution” for voice, messaging, conferencing, or secure access.

Standards based Voice Quality and Simplified Management

Not a “PBX vendor specific” voicemail or telephony solution. Experience cost and service benefits without rip/replace.

Utilize your existing investment in IP or TDM phones and deliver presence, mobility, conferencing and video. Microsoft designed phones also available.

Integrate with existing PBX solutions for a centralized voicemail and email solution on a single platform. Avoid hardware cost duplication for storage, CPU, etc.

Natively encrypted sessions provide secure communications for compliance and confidentiality without the need for additional VPNs, clients, or portals

Utilize common, off the shelf hardware for reduced TCO

Mobility solutions deliver a seamless experience across web, desktop, mobile devices, and/or embedded within applications.
