IDC Reports On Microsoft VoIP Prospects
Microsoft's entry into the telecommunications industry via its increasingly aggressive VoIP initiatives will cause significant disruption to traditional market models.
Industry research and analysis company, IDC, has written a study, "The Shot Heard Round the VoIP World: Microsoft Targets the IP PBX Market via Unified Communications", which examines Microsoft's approach to unified communications, and the company's initiatives around VOIP to enhance its existing product set.
The researcher says that Microsoft's move into the broader VoIP market - challenging existing PBX and IP PBX vendors - will result in a dual opportunity as the company taps this lucrative market and uses VoIP to enhance its existing real-time collaboration suite and desktop productivity tools.
