Video: How Microsoft IT deployed Unified Communications
Check out an interesting video on how Microsoft’s own IT department deployed Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and views from key members of staff. The post-UC views expressed within the video are definately shared by the organisation I work for.
Taken from TechNet Edge:
Unified Communications at Microsoft supports over 40,000 users. Multiple communications tools such as e-mail, Instant Messaging, voice mail, voice, and presence are delivered in a unified experience which is available anywhere. Because multiple and disparate communication systems have been consolidated and in sourced onto a single solution, the ability to manage and measure the environment is enhanced.
