In order to compete in today’s market place, organizations are required to collaborate better, be more responsive, and deliver higher levels of service than ever before. At the same time, they are finding themselves in a position where they have fewer resources to accomplish these goals.

Lync is a leading Unified Communications platform that supports voice, conferencing, video, IM, and much more. Businesses are able to consolidate infrastructure, reduce licensing fees, and scale as the need arises.

WAN carriers are only beginning to understand the need for Lync and the demand that it has generated in the SMB and Enterprise markets. It will take some time before most carriers, or LAN vendors, are able to interoperate directly with the platform.

A sophisticated eco-system has developed to fill in the gaps that exist between carriers and vendors, enabling organizations to follow a clear migration path to allow them to immediately begin the process of deploying Lync to support their operations company wide.
