Microsoft Office Share Point Server 2007 Delivers Messaging and Collaboration Services
Fujitsu VP quoted in Microsoft PressPass
Excerpted from Microsoft.com
As Microsoft continues to deliver innovations to its unified communication and collaboration platform – which includes Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, the 2007 Office system with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and has solutions in the pipeline such as the next generation of Microsoft Office Communications Server – Microsoft’s industry partners find that business is booming. An increasing number of customers report that their existing communication and collaboration solutions, built on older, non-Microsoft platforms, are not effectively evolving with business trends and practices, and they are turning to Microsoft and its partners for help.
“I think today is a great time to switch to the Microsoft unified communication and collaboration platform,” says Jay Lendl, Microsoft Practice Vice President for Fujitsu Consulting, the U.S. consulting and services arm of the US$40.6 billion Fujitsu Group and a Microsoft Strategic Global Systems Integrator, based in Edison, N.J. “I feel very confident that the new Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 platform and 2007 Office system including Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 can deliver all the messaging and collaboration services that our clients are demanding right now," says Lendl. “I believe that whether you are a large or small company, this platform will deliver unprecedented predictability, rich features and cost-effective solutions for customers.”
As companies make the strategic business decision to review their existing messaging and collaboration platform and evaluate new options, Lendl says they will find that Microsoft’s platform for unified communications and collaboration, including Exchange Server 2007 and SharePoint Server 2007, offers not only greater functionality but can also help increase employee productivity, reduce IT costs and improve business processes. “Once people understand what’s included in Microsoft’s platform, they begin to see that to replicate all that functionality would require them to go out and bring together technologies from three or four different vendors just to equal what’s already available with Exchange Server 2007 and SharePoint Server 2007,” says Lendl. He further notes that standardizing onto a single, integrated platform such as Microsoft’s can reduce support and licensing costs of disparate programs and multiple messaging systems, while providing improved services to employees, such as unified messaging.
