Abstract:

Application note detailing how to enable real-time and mobile communications in Microsoft environments with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.

The Enterprise Communications landscape has radically changed over the last decade, particularly since 2009-2010. Enterprise Business Units have disappeared, absorbed by other telecom vendors, or more often, private equity firms. At the same time, former niche market specialists, like video vendors and web conferencing champions, have seen their revenues boosted by increased demand.

New players from the telecom world including industry giants like Google®, IBM®, and Microsoft® have also moved into the market. These companies are particularly strong in information systems, from leading messaging platforms to valuable data collaboration tools. Within this group, the undisputed leader in enterprise desktops and information system infrastructures is Microsoft. With its ambitious Lync® program, Microsoft has demonstrated its commitment to this domain. What still limits Microsoft, however, is its credibility in real-time voice/video communications and especially mobility. Obviously, these are critical requirements in today’s business world.

This paper explores how the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise portfolio can be implemented to bring real-time voice/video and mobility capabilities to a Microsoft environment.
