NextUC examines many large and small companies that are deploying Microsoft Lync solutions to unify their communications platforms and improve productivity. The software is designed to combine detailed presence information with effective communication channels to increase interactivity and lower many of the costs associated with different platforms and options.
An example of this migration to unified communications is Boeing, a leader in the aerospace industry. The company employs 158,000 people in 70 different countries, and they deal with extremely complex products that require detailed communications between these locations. While the company had options for instant messaging and voice and video conferencing, it was very costly to maintain different platforms in different places. Microsoft Lync solutions have been deployed throughout the year, and it has led to improved knowledge sharing at reduced costs.
Nikon produces cameras and digital imaging products in a very competitive market. It employs 26,000 people in dozens of companies around the world, and it previously used different platforms for messaging, conferencing, and telephone. In order to increase responsiveness to its customers and speed the information transmission to make business critical decisions in a more timely fashion, the company migrated to the Microsoft Lync solution.
Companies that offer a range of services are also making the switch to a more integrated platform for communication. Morgan Keegan and Company, one of the largest investment firms in the country, is using the same solutions to improve efficiencies. The company deals with wealth and asset management, which requires informed decisions based on the most relevant data. Instant messaging, conferencing, and rich presence data all contribute to more effective services.
Smaller companies are also implementing these solutions. The London Symphony Orchestra, a company that has fewer than 100 employees to organize and support the yearly tours and fund raising activities, has begun to replace their legacy systems with a platform that accommodates the mobile nature of the business. This has created an environment where the company can cut costs and maintain open communications while the symphony is on tour.
As more companies start to branch out and the workforce becomes more mobile, a unified and central communications system will become even more important. A lot of companies are already making the move to these updated solutions because Microsoft Lync is offering a range of options in a single package. NextUC is offering solutions that help professionals improve their collaboration efforts by delivering a unified product that includes conferencing, presence, voice and video, web sharing, and more.
