Unisys Introduces Free Service for Clients to Test Drive Microsoft Unified Communications Technologies
Trial service allows companies to ‘kick the tyres’ on Microsoft Office Communication Server, Microsoft Exchange Server
2007 and Microsoft Office LiveMeeting.
Unisys has announced the availability of a trial service enabling enterprise customers to test drive Microsoft Exchange
Server 2007, Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007, and Microsoft Office LiveMeeting at no cost.
In today’s world of anywhere, instant communication, this service allows global enterprises to try – free of charge –
the latest unified communications technology from Microsoft to enable their workforces to communicate more productively
in an integrated platform via PC, the Web or mobile phone.*
The trial service, implemented and managed by Unisys, will offer organisations the opportunity to evaluate the features
available in the Microsoft unified communications suite, including email, calendaring and unified messaging, in addition
to multi-party instant messaging and voice and video conferencing. Up to 20 accounts can be established per customer,
extending the trial experience to a larger group of individuals across the company. Organisations interested in
participating in a 30-day trial should contact their Microsoft Sales Executive.
“Through this trial, Unisys is able to provide customers with a first-hand look at the potential the Microsoft unified
communications platform can bring to their organisation. We hope they’ll see how seamlessly blending the multiple ways
in which workers are already communicating in today’s workplace can be a boon for productivity,” said Peter Boit, vice
president for Microsoft Enterprise Partners at Microsoft Corp. “Microsoft’s ongoing relationship with Unisys provides
our enterprise customers with new levels of business value, helping to create efficient, high-quality communication and
collaboration experiences.”
While email has become a commonplace, mission-critical communication tool, unified communications is ushering in a new
era of enterprise productivity and in turn will help organisations get the most from their business initiatives and IT
investments. Several components of the Microsoft unified communications platform included in this trial include:
Exchange Server 2007 – Email, Calendaring, Managed Folders, Voicemail, and Outlook Voice Access.
Office Communication Server 2007 – IM/Voice/Video, OCS Web Conferencing, PSTN calling (US-only), and Presence
integration.
Office Live Meeting – Web conferencing & Collaboration.
“Unisys builds and manages secure, scalable enterprise systems for the world’s largest public and private sector
organisations,” said Chris Skelton, Director Alliances, Unisys Asia Pacific. “This trial lets us showcase our expertise
in large-scale unified communications solutions on the Microsoft platform. It also gives our clients an easy way to
experiment with new collaboration tools enabled by Microsoft’s unified communications technology stack.”
Unisys teamed with Quintum Technologies, a provider of VoIP solutions designed to bring the reliability and voice
clarity of public telephone networks to Internet telephony. Quintum’s experience in telephony, specifically VoIP,
provides back-end support for the unified communications platform, including dynamic call failover, interoperability
with voice and data network environments, SIP and H.323 support.
