Galdon Data recognised as Top Tier unified communications partner for Microsoft

Johannesburg, 15 Oct 2012

Galdon Data, a unified communications (UC) solutions provider, today announced that it was a finalist for this year's Microsoft's partner network award in the area of unified communications.

"Galdon Data was Microsoft's 2009 winner of their Unified Communications Competency award and continues receiving recognition for their specialised skills," said Director of Galdon Data, Fairoz Jaffer. "This is the fifth consecutive year that Galdon Data has been acknowledged in this way."

"Being recognised for our capabilities in the field of unified communications is extremely important to us, as it underpins our credibility in this area of expertise with our customers and potential clients," commented Jaffer.

Unified communications with Lync ushers in a new connected experience transforming every communication into an interaction that is more collaborative, engaging and accessible from anywhere. A single interface unites voice, IM, audio-, video- and Web-conferencing into a richer, more contextual offering, and a single identity makes it easier and more efficient for users to find contacts, check their availability and connect with them. Lync works consistently with Microsoft Office, thus enriching the experience of familiar applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word and Microsoft SharePoint.

For IT, the benefits are equally powerful, with a highly secure and reliable system that works with Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint and uses Microsoft management tools to facilitate easier management and lower cost of ownership. In addition, interoperability with existing systems enables smoother deployment and migration, and provides the organisation with greater choice, flexibility and savings.
