Business Together with Microsoft

 

business challenge

How do you connect a geographically-dispersed workforce using multiple communications tools across time zones and continents? Global teams need to meet virtually at a moment’s notice, and distant colleagues want to collaborate as if they're next door. To stop human delay from slowing down business processes, employees require unified communications.
 

our solution

Business Together with Microsoft unifies your communications tools. This includes company-wide instant messaging, a collaboration workspace for your employees to share documents and unified communications with presence, IM, email and telephony from the same user interface. Our software as a service (SaaS) offers a predictable budget, so you pay a fixed price per month per user.
 

our approach

Orange Business Services has enhanced Business Together with Microsoft with new service offerings based on the latest software products from Microsoft. These are:
  • Managed Exchange 2007
  • Managed Office Communications Server 2007
  • Managed SharePoint Server 2007
We support these services with ITIL ® standards-based service management for improved service availability and our worldwide expertise in networks, IP telephony, mobility solutions and security. Various elements can be combined with Cisco's enterprise IP telephony platform and delivered either as an integrated or fully-managed solution.
 

the result

Deploying Business Together with Microsoft unifies your communications and improves business processes. It seamlessly integrates the Microsoft messaging and collaboration tools with Cisco's enterprise IP telephony and provides a single user client to manage all communications channels, along with full presence functionality.
