Research and Markets: Migrating To Unified Communications: Integrating Legacy Enterprise Phone Systems Provides Forecasts to 2014 for Organisations of 20-500 and 500+ Employees.DUBLIN -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/996f67/migrating_to_unifi) has announced the addition of the "Migrating to Unified Communications The real time redirection of a voice, text or e-mail message to the device closest to the intended recipient at any given time. For example, voice calls to desk phones could be routed to the user's cellphone when required. : Integrating Legacy Enterprise Phone Systems" report to their offering. There is a growing consensus that enterprise communications is moving towards a unified communications (UC) endpoint, at which voice, email, instant messaging Exchanging text messages in real time between two or more people logged into a particular instant messaging (IM) service. Instant messaging is more interactive than e-mail because messages are sent immediately, whereas e-mail messages can be queued up in a mail server for seconds or and video are linked to each other and to enterprise productivity applications. Microsoft is now aggressively marketing its OCS OCS - Object Compatibility Standard platform and this has brought UC into the mainstream. However, enterprises typically start towards UC from the position of having a complex legacy infrastructure, including PBXs from multiple vendors, separate email and conferencing systems and, often, widespread unauthorised use of IM. UC functionality integrates existing voice, email, and messaging infrastructure, both fixed and mobile, and builds on platforms such as Microsoft Exchange Messaging and groupware software for Windows from Microsoft. Exchange Server is an Internet-compliant e-mail system that runs under Windows NT/2000 and Windows Server 2003. It can be accessed by Web browsers, the Exchange client, versions of Outlook and the earlier Windows Inbox. and Lotus Notes Messaging and groupware software from IBM Lotus that was introduced in 1989 for OS/2 and later expanded to Windows, Mac, Unix, NetWare, AS/400 and S/390.
