Unisys supports MS' vision for unified communications

MUMBAI: Unisys Corporation today announced its support for Microsoft's unique

vision for unified communications, which delivers intuitive and seamless

communications across email, instant messaging, voice, data, video and Web

conferencing.






To bridge barriers between disparate information systems and communications
means, the company is developing a comprehensive portfolio of consulting and

systems integration services along with outsourcing alternatives to enable its

clients to achieve unified communication, Unisys said in a statement.






"As global competition continues to accelerate, Unisys will continue its focus
on offering clients a portfolio of IT services that will enhance workforce

communication and collaboration to enable better decisions to be made more

quickly - resulting in more flexible and proactive enterprises," said Jim Boak,

vice president, Microsoft and Intel Strategic Alliances, Unisys. "As part of a

longtime alliance, we continue to work with Microsoft to develop this services

portfolio to assist our clients with defining and deploying their unified

communications strategy on a global scale to facilitate communications anytime,

anywhere, and on any device."






With this alliance both companies can jointly deploy and manage the Microsoft
platform and unified communications solutions to deliver secure business

operations for clients.






Through this collaboration, Unisys will work with its clients to create a
cost-effective communications infrastructure that will better connect people,

information and business processes through integrated technology.






Further, Unisys will work with clients to develop a long-term roadmap for them
to significantly improve their existing communications infrastructure providing

solutions for messaging migration and consolidation with Microsoft Exchange

Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft Office Communications

Server 2007, and collaboration and business intelligence with the Microsoft

Office system and Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.






The end result is that Unisys helps lower the client's risk for long-term
transition and migration to a converged and secure global communications

platform, the statement added.
