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.
