"Microsoft and Nortel formed the Innovative Communications Alliance to help companies transform business communications by speeding up the transition to voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) and unified communications.In just six months since the alliance was formed, the two companies have signed agreements with dozens of customers, and have developed a pipeline of hundreds of prospects who want to realize the benefits of unified communications".

"Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer and Nortel* CEO and President Mike Zafirovski announced a joint road map to deliver their shared vision for unified communications. The road map is the result of an alliance between Microsoft and Nortel announced in July 2006, and includes three new joint solutions to dramatically improve business communications by breaking down the barriers between voice, e-mail, instant messaging, multimedia conferencing and other forms of communication".

"Microsoft technology has become a critical component of our organization. The inherent communication capabilities of the Microsoft solutions have played a significant role in enhancing the proficiency within our day to day organizational activities.

“Our users demand uninterrupted availability and consistent performance of IT services from every possible point of presence within the corporate network and outside, through a variety of client devices and connectivity options – but information security and integrity require policies based integrated controls.

A new technology base was desirable to integrate past and provide for future innovations.

We expect Windows Vista to provide enhanced support for implementation of corporate policies with flexibility, without compromise on information security and controls, to satisfy diverse user needs.

We suppose 2007 Office to seamlessly integrate with SharePoint Services for information sharing and team collaboration using workflow.

We look forward for Exchange Server 2007 to simplify multi-site integration and on/off-site recoverability. We also find integrated message control and Rights Management imperative to encourage use of email/fax service for formal business communication.

This Microsoft Product Launch in Pakistan will provide us first hand opportunity to seek expert guidance for smooth rollout of a major enterprise wide migration."
