Silver Communications Partner Status attained specialising in MS Lync

As an active Microsoft Partner Syplex has recently attained the Microsoft Silver Communications competency specialising in Microsoft Lync technology. This confirms our expertise in Unified Communications and allows us to sell, deploy, support and develop Microsoft Lync solutions alongside other complementary solutions.

 A bit from Microsoft about Lync

Workplaces are changing. Teams are more distributed. Customers need productivity tools that enable them to work from virtually anywhere. Communications is a core part of a customer’s productivity and is continuing to evolve and change the way people interact. Additionally, the industry is changing, and as IDC indicates, a few factors that are shaping the industry are that “Mobility is increasing in importance” and that “Enterprises increasingly expect to customize work flows with communications capabilities.

 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 current IT infrastructures for easier deployment and migration.

Software Compatibility with Windows 7

If you are thinking about upgrading to Windows 7 and are not sure whether the software packages that you currently use on your existing version of windows will be compatible then please visit the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. It is a really useful research tool prior to upgrading.

Building Windows 8

Microsoft have released a video on their new OS codenamed Windows 8, which is seemingly designed for tablets, laptops and desktops. It has taken quite a few elements from Windows Phone 7 such as the tile based home screen. Lots of touch screen controls/gestures ensure it will work well on touch enabled devices. It’s slated for a 2012 release, which may happen as it looks more like Windows 6.2 (Windows 7 is confusingly 6.1, and Vista is 6.0) rather than another complete rewrite.

Check out the video about Building Windows 8 from Microsoft on their Youtube channel.
