Insurance Firm Reacts Faster to Unplanned Events With Real-Time Collaboration

AXA Tech provides key IT and communications services to the AXA Group, one of the world's leading financial protection businesses. Previously, it was difficult for top-level AXA executives to react in real time to unexpected events and to communicate between teams. To address this, AXA Tech deployed Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with Unified Messaging, and Microsoft Office Communicator 2007. By using these technologies, executives can confirm the availability of colleagues and contact them with instant messaging, Voice over IP (VoIP) calls, or conferencing. This helps distributed employees react faster to unplanned events and develop new financial products more quickly.
