Microsoft Unified Communications technologies use the power of software to deliver complete communications—messaging, voice, and video—across the applications and devices that people use every day. Integrating the experiences you associate with the telephone—phone calls, voice mail, and conferencing—the work you do on a computer—documents, spreadsheets, instant messaging, e-mail, and calendars—has the power to fundamentally change the way people work. We believe unified communications will transform business in the coming decade in the same way e-mail changed the business landscape in the 1990s. When phone services become software, are managed by a server, and are delivered to desktop applications, many interesting things happen.
