In today's competitive business environment, it is increasingly critical for your people to work together across boundaries, with each other, and with customers and partners. Microsoft Windows Vista, the 2007 Microsoft Office system, and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provide accurate "anywhere access" to essential information. Your people will be able to share information in innovative ways regardless of where they are. New capabilities enable people to manage all of their communication, including e-mail, voice mail, or instant messaging, from a single inbox—while enabling access to that inbox from multiple devices and locations. With these new tools, working away from the office or participating in meetings off-site becomes an easier, more productive experience. No matter where your people are working from, they can confidently and easily collaborate with each other and gain access to information, all from within the familiar Microsoft Office system programs they already know and use.
