Communications                                         

At Strategic Solutions we understand that technology innovation has brought the world closer together and has given people more ways to communicate with each other. While these changes have brought about new heights in productivity and created a more mobile, global, and always-on world of work, this rapid transformation has created new challenges in the business environment today. These challenges include:

• Communications Overload
• Distributed teams, customers and partners
• High costs of communications
• Disparate, complex networks for voice and messaging

Microsoft unified communications technologies use the power of software to deliver complete communications--messaging, voice, and video--across the applications and devices that people use every day.

Integrating the experiences you associate with the telephone--phone calls, voice mail, and conferencing--into the work you do on a computer--documents, spreadsheets, instant messaging, e-mail, calendars--has the power to fundamentally change the way the world works.

We believe unified communications will transform business in the coming decade in the same way e-mail changed the business landscape in the 1990s.

When phone services become software, are managed by a server, and are delivered to desktop applications, many interesting things happen.

 Microsoft® unified communications technologies bridge the divide between computers and telephones with two integrated servers: Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007. They integrate with your company's existing phone system and deliver complete communications services using your existing data network.

No forklift required: We can help you maximize your existing infrastructure by integrating legacy PBX systems through a VoIP/PBX gateway. With Microsoft unified communications technologies, the computers on your network gain the functionality of advanced VoIP phones. Users can click to call any contact in their address book. A simple phone call can become a conference call or a video conference, on the fly.
