REDMOND, Wash. — Nov. 17, 2010 — Three years ago, the introduction of Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) changed the way people stay connected. An individual’s identity and presence became the center of business communication, thanks to the integration of unified communications across e-mail, voice, instant messaging, audio- and videoconference tasks — and even desktop sharing. People could choose how to manage their conversations, redirect calls, set their level of availability, and decide how and when they could be reached.
In 2006, Bill Gates talked about the magic of software being poised to help people manage communications amid the rush of business life, often filled with an unrelenting combination of conference calls, e-mails, faxes, voice mail messages, business trips, in-person meetings and instant messages.
Microsoft knew the time had come for a communications platform that could help people navigate through all types of communication with colleagues, partners and customers — to get work done faster and with less frustration.
Office Communications Server has been one of the fastest growing solutions at Microsoft, experiencing double-digit growth over the past three years. Fortune 500 companies, top pharmaceutical firms, successful financial institutions and large communications providers have chosen Microsoft’s unified communications platform to set their business up for success.

Cloud computing is to business what the pocket calculator was to education back in the 1980s. I’ve already told you how I was addicted to the Cloud , and your now probably hearing about it daily. So why should you be interested in this new buzz word. Well, there are a couple reasons your ears should perk up when you here news about The Cloud, especially when it involves the Microsoft products your company has become dependent upon over the years like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, or Microsoft Dynamics. - Cost – costs usually include little to no up-front costs, and monthly per user costs moving forward. This allows you to convert capital expenditure to operational expenditure which can lower the barrier to entry into new products and services.
- Freedom – your team can more easily access systems remotely and from multiple devices such as Mobile devices
- Reliability – cloud computing is ideal for business continuity and disaster recovery.
- Scalability – you get “on-demand” provisioning of resources on a self-serve basis in realtime.
- Maintenance - cloud computing application maintenance is done for you by the host, and changes and updates apply to all users independent of location.
