Cisco and Microsoft Collaboration in Unified Communications

2007-10-23T21:40:00Z

Cisco® and Microsoft have an established and longstanding history of collaborating across a number of technologies to provide customers with innovative business solutions. In the area of unified communications, the two companies are working together to help businesses and agencies deliver inclusive and business-transforming communications solutions, using services and applications from each company.

The Cisco approach to unified communications is centered around the company's market leadership in networking and uses the network as the platform. The Microsoft approach is based on that company's position in desktop applications and operating systems. Although Cisco and Microsoft have distinct approaches to unified communications, these approaches are complementary, intersecting at the user-experience level. With their product overlap, both companies are committed to working together to achieve the common goal of making real-time collaboration a transparent and effective experience for customers and constituents. To help achieve this goal, Cisco and Microsoft actively participate together in open-standards working groups, including the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and developers from both companies meet regularly to discuss current integration efforts and to define future areas of integration.
