The Role of Unified Communications in Design Collaboration
Don Richardson, Director, Global Innovation and PLM Industry Strategy
Microsoft
Communicating with team members, suppliers and customers is critical to the success of developing new products, processes or services. However despite great advances in messaging, mobile phones, PDAs, and telephony devices, communicating has never been so complicated or disjointed. Unified Communications brings all your information and devices together into one easy to use solution that enhances the way you work whether you or your team is in the office, onsite, overseas or travelling. This session provides an introduction to Microsoft Unified Communications and a practical live demonstration to show the integration of productivity tools such as CAD, office applications, instant messaging and video conferencing with telephones, mobile devices, video and voice over IP (VOIP) technologies in a design collaboration scenario.
Don is the director of global Innovation Management and Product Lifecycle Management industry strategy at Microsoft. Don and his team are responsible for defining Microsoft\'s business strategy and solutions that target all the major functional areas of Innovation Management and PLM.
