Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 02:00 AM
"Jeff Raikes, president of the Microsoft Business Division, today unveiled the company's vision, technology road map and partner framework for unified communications at a strategy event in San Francisco. Microsoft Corp.'s approach to unified communications will break down today's silos of e-mail, instant messaging, mobile and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) telephony, and audio-, video- and webconferencing. Through software, Microsoft and its partners will put people at the center of communications through a single identity across all modes and integrate communication into people's everyday work processes, including the widely used Microsoft® Office system and third-party software applications."
