Unified Communications Integral to Next-Generation Workplace Strategy

Many organizations struggle to navigate the always-on global economy - particularly when it comes to collaborating across borders and time zones. Accenture, Avanade, and Microsoft have joined forces to help customers create the next-generation workplace, where coworkers are able to collaborate seamlessly, regardless of location or device. These companies have combined their industry knowledge, management-consulting expertise, and technology-integration expertise with Microsoft unified communications solutions (Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, Microsoft Office Communicator 2007, and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007) to drive rich integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and custom line-of-business applications. A strategic unified communications foundation benefits customers by reducing cost and improving global competitiveness, productivity, and risk mitigation.
