Why Microsoft Unified Communications?
Microsoft Unified Communications solutions give users a common view across their communications so they can simplify working together, sharing ideas and information faster, and more efficiently, regardless of their location.
Presence awareness allows sales people to find the subject matter experts they need quickly and easily, so they can respond to customer queries promptly. These advantages can also increase the number of sales proposals delivered and won.
Video conferencing allows colleagues and partners to collaborate quickly and cost-effectively. Organisations can improve staff retention by providing a flexible working environment and allowing employees to work productively while mobile. Having the latest technology can also help attract new talented employees.
Why Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007?
Simplify everyday business activities - organisations can improve the efficiency of fewer staff through providing a single integrated location where employees can efficiently work with team members, find organisation resources, manage content and workflow.
Enables users to get more done by providing an infrastructure for sharing information and working together in teams, communities and people-driven processes.
Users can create a personal MySite portal to share information with others, and personalise the user experience and content of an enterprise Web site based on the user’s profile. Adoption is easy, with a wide variety of role-based templates for different users like administrative assistants, financial controllers, HR, sales managers and many more.
Business Intelligence: information workers can easily access up-to-date critical business information, analyse and view data, and publish reports to make more informed decisions – whether they work and collaborate on the desktop or over the Web.
Controls and manages sensitive business information, so several users can work on documents, but only the relevant users can view proprietary or private data.
Users easily navigate to relevant experts within their organisation.
Fully integrated into the 2007 Office system.
According to a recent BT survey, 85% of small to medium-sized companies lose business to bigger competitors partly because of their lack of foresight in exploiting business communications effectively... limiting their agility and competitiveness.
