Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Microsoft's 2007 collaboration platform will feature updates in unified communications, team collaboration, Exchange and SharePoint server manageability, on-premise Web conferencing, and audio/videoconferencing. This functionality may deliver significant business value to customers in the form of higher information worker and IT productivity, business process improvements, and cost savings. But because the 2007 release will not yet be fully unified, IT architects should take extra precautions to minimize feature redundancy and avoid giving an information worker too many options. CIOs must recognize that a commitment to standardize on a collaboration platform has far-reaching implications and must make decisions accordingly.
