Organisations are evolving business models to maximise on the opportunities in the emerging digital communications landscape. The event will play a pivotal role in enabling companies to get the optimum value from cutting-edge technologies and increase operational efficiencies.

Microsoft's annual Dynamics conference will be all about how companies can benefit from enterprise applications in a down economy, writes Redmondmag.com.

Kirill Tatarinov, corporate vice-president of Microsoft Business Solutions, will take his message to companies at the convergence conference, taking place from 10 to 13 March in New Orleans. The message? Now is the time to invest in Dynamics.

HelloSoft has revealed its ultra low-power IP convergence platform and says it is five times more power-efficient than existing solutions, states TMCnet.
