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.
