8 August 2007 : Momentum Webcast: Top Ten Reasons to Upgrade Your Messaging Server (Level 100)
Is your messaging system keeping up with the requirements of your business? Dramatic shifts in business needs have revolutionized methods of communication and collaboration. As e-mail has become a preferred communication method, employees now expect to have efficient access to e-mail, calendars, and contacts, no matter where they are or what type of device they are using. For IT departments, delivering a messaging system that meets the needs of businesses is increasingly complex. Managers must contend with e-mail security threats, non-compliance issues, and rapidly growing message stores, while ensuring that the system maintains high uptime. However, time, money, and resource constraints force IT departments to do more with less. Join this unique, interactive webcast as we cover the key factors to consider when evaluating a messaging environment and explain the top ten reasons why you should consider upgrading your messaging software.
15 August 2007 : Momentum Webcast: A Sneak Peek at Microsoft Unified Communications (Level 100)
Organizations today have multiple communications systems like e-mail, telephony, and instant messaging (IM). However, these communication systems often exist in silos and are rarely integrated into business processes and applications. As a result, these communication systems are ineffective and costly to deploy and manage. Microsoft Unified Communications (UC) technologies use the power of software to help streamline communications between people and organizations, regardless of the medium, platform, device, or location. Join us for this webcast and see how the comprehensive set of Microsoft UC clients, servers, services, and devices deliver integrated capabilities like e-mail, calendaring, unified messaging, mobile messaging, presence detection, IM, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call management, and audio/video/Web conferencing. By empowering end users with a familiar set of tools built on an enterprise-ready, scalable, and easily managed software-powered architecture, Microsoft Unified Communications breaks down communication silos and extends existing communications investments while enabling business process innovation.
