Agile IT is proud to announce that we’ve been chosen as an Office 365 Unified Messaging key partner. Unified Messaging lets you act on voicemail and email anyway, anytime, anywhere. Office 365 Unified Messaging offers “voice mail in the cloud”, and more. It can be used by customers with a wide range of PBXs and IP PBXs, and with Microsoft Lync Server 2010.
We’ve successfully deployed Unified Messaging across our entire company using Lync Server 2010 and we’re very excited to bring this enterprise-class, cloud-based communications solution to our clients. If you’re thinking about making the switch, we’d love to help.
