Microsoft Unveils Unified Communications Product Road Map and Partner Ecosystem
"Jeff Raikes, president of the Microsoft Business Division, today unveiled the company's vision, technology road map and partner framework for unified communications at a strategy event in San Francisco. Microsoft Corp.'s approach to unified communications will break down today's silos of e-mail, instant messaging, mobile and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) telephony, and audio-, video- and webconferencing. Through software, Microsoft and its partners will put people at the center of communications through a single identity across all modes and integrate communication into people's everyday work processes, including the widely used Microsoft� Office system and third-party software applications."
Microsoft managed to team up with a number of well-known mobile partners in this collaborative unified communications effort: for example, HP, Motorola, Siemens, Polycom, LG-Nortel, Thomson Telecom, GN Netcom, Logitech, Plantronics, Samsung, and Tatung. There are many press releases and Q&As to absorb. More after the break.
