Lower Communication Costs

Microsoft unified communications (UC) technologies can help your organization reduce costs while improving collaboration. By offering you options for how your communications and collaboration solutions are delivered, managed, and maintained, Microsoft UC solutions overcome communication barriers and reduce costs of telephony, audio conferencing, and IT infrastructure and administration. Employees can enhance productivity with the tools they use every day like e-mail, instant messaging, and Windows Mobile devices.

Lower Travel Costs

In an economic downturn, travel budgets are often among the first cuts. Deploying Microsoft unified communications technologies gives mobile workers new ways to conduct virtual meetings, collaborate, and drive productivity without burning time and money on travel.

Technologies such as Microsoft RoundTable, a collaboration and conferencing device that provides a 360-degree view of the conference room, and Microsoft Office Live Meeting, an interactive virtual meeting service, shrink the distance between offices and enable you to collaborate with either individuals or large groups-without leaving your location.

Lower Energy Costs

To reduce power usage, organizations should implement an infrastructure that allocates power to computing resources as needed.

Microsoft is committed to developing and providing technologies that help consumers and businesses reduce their environmental footprint. For businesses and organizations seeking to control costs and reduce negative effects on the environment, energy-efficient computing is a wise choice.

Increase Individual Productivity and Team Collaboration

IT is all about maximizing productivity. Microsoft solutions enable both individuals and teams to be more productive with tools that help people work more effectively, including the 2007 Microsoft Office system, collaboration tools, and enterprise applications like Microsoft Dynamics. Microsoft technology enables the automated flow of information between departments and gives teams tools to cost-effectively collaborate and communicate.
