Nortel

In July 2006 Nortel & Microsoft formed the Innovative Communications Alliance accelerating the business-driven transformation of voice, video and data into unified communications, increasing productivity while keeping IT cost and complexity low.

Today, Nortel is working with customers to help their migration to unified communications solution in a Microsoft environment based on a joint architecture of Nortel & Microsoft solutions.

The partnership between Microsoft and Nortel provides high-quality telephony services, flexible network architecture and easy-to-use desktop productivity applications. Together, these innovative products and services form a comprehensive solution, enabling effective business communications across e-mail, instant messaging, voice, data, video and web conferencing.

Fragmented, stand-alone applications and hardware will not fulfill the communication needs of today’s fast-moving organizations. Disconnected infrastructure with multiple address books or user directories, and often proprietary hardware and software applications that aren’t able to talk to each other, force the employee to switch between multiple communication modes to gather and share the information they need.

People can be significantly more productive with a communications experience that provides seamless transitions between multiple modes of presence based communications including e-mail, instant messaging, voice, data, video and web conferencing. As an example, being able to use the same soft client while in or out of the office simplifies user training and tremendously enhances user experience. These products and services offer the ability to enrich business processes with timely, contextual communications that extend to customers and suppliers. The Innovative Communications Alliance is focusing on key solutions to deliver rapid return on investment to customers. Both companies share the vision of deploying functions in a software-based architecture. The Innovative Communication Alliance solution areas are designed to support a seamless evolutionary path for customers to reach this goal.

These capabilities provide employees with instant access to the information and resources they need, whether they are at a desk or mobile, while maintaining a highly secure, reliable network. With tight integration across existing and new products, the Innovative Communications Alliance leverages Microsoft Unified Communications and Windows with Nortel’s telephony, networking and business application competencies.

Join the Nortel presentation at SharePoint to hear about:

  • The building blocks of a unified communications solution
  • The roadmap to enhance the functionality of this investment
  • The design & deployment services you will need to consider to deploy a unified communications solution in your organisation
  • The next steps you need to consider to migrate to a unified communications solution
