Unified Communications & Collaboration Datasheet
Rapid advances in technology and radical changes in the business environment over the last 10 years have dramatically increased the importance of Unified Communications and Collaboration technologies for business and organisational success.

These changes in business dynamics are driven by the need to work more closely with customers, suppliers, and partners, the "always-on" work environment, and intensified global competition. These forces have increased the importance of empowering end users to work more effectively both within and across organisations to deliver ongoing innovation and business success. At the same time, government regulation, increased vigilance by stakeholders, and the evolution of new communications methods (like blogs) are pushing businesses to operate far more transparently while placing a premium on managing information risk. These factors make a security-enhanced, integrated set of unified communications and collaboration technologies at the core of business success today.

Unified Communications and Collaboration Whitepaper
In today's global business environment, business needs drive IT requirements. IT departments are constantly being asked to deliver more services to increase business efficiency-while spending less money and using fewer resources to do it.

Today's businesses require the ability to collaborate on demand - anywhere, anytime. They need access to the right information and people at the right time and place. To make this happen, businesses need collaboration tools that give them in-context access to the appropriate communications methods from within the business applications that they already use every day.

This document describes the Unified Communications and Collaboration platform from Microsoft and how Microsoft's approach to unified communications and collaboration delivers these capabilities for businesses of all sizes.

ECM - Successful Records Management
Implementing a records management (RM) solution involves more than simply putting records into a system. It requires that the organisation determine what qualifies as a record, when documents will be put in, how they will appear, and when they will be removed. Insufficient retention, or the premature disposition of documents, must be prevented; yet unnecessary retention must also be reduced. The volume of documents generated on a daily basis can be high, and unnecessary retention of items with little legal or business value can significantly reduce an organisation's operational agility.

This white paper will provide insights into the two key phases of designing an effective records management strategy: developing a solid policy and following up with a smooth, well-planned implementation.
