Microsoft Partnership

Via has partnered with Microsoft to offer leading edge Unified Communication solutions consolidated on the desktop because workplaces are changing.

Teams are more distributed. People need productivity tools that enable them to work from virtually anywhere.

Yet, despite organizations' technology investments, users struggle to stay connected with colleagues and the business. Slow innovation in traditional technologies such as telephony forces users to choose other modes for collaboration and communication. This makes it more challenging for IT professionals to deliver new capabilities in an integrated, cost-effective, and secure manner.

Microsoft® Lync™ connects users in new ways, regardless of their physical location. The latest release of the Unified Communications platform delivers a fresh, intuitive user experience that is directly accessible from Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Outlook®, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft SharePoint®. Lync brings together the different ways people communicate in a single interface, is deployed as a unified platform, and is administered through a single management infrastructure. The unified nature of the system helps reduce costs and facilitates rapid user adoption. And, because Lync is broadly interoperable, it fits into existing IT infrastructure for easier deployment and migration.

The Via Group is the rare Microsoft Gold Certified UC Partner that can design, implement, and support Microsoft Lync integrated into an enterprise's existing infrastructure.
