Mobile phones will become part of MS Office
In three years, about 100 million users will make VoIP calls from Outlook, Word, Excel and other Microsoft Office applications. Having fully conquered the personal computer market, the world's largest IT company has now expanded its ambitions to the mobile phone market. The best programmers and managers, such as Jeff Rakes, are thrown into this direction.
News.com has published a review article that analyzes Microsoft’s strategy for entering the mobile communications market, as well as an interview with Jeff Raikes, one of the senior managers of the company, who heads the Business Division. Now Jeff has been tasked with porting the MS Office software to mobile phones and integrating the entire system into the corporate networks of enterprises.
Microsoft has already taken a strong position in the mobile communications market with its Communicator Mobile program for Windows Mobile, but this is not the end of the Redmond giant’s ambitions. At present, the volume of investments in telephone development in the company is second only to R & D investments in Office (as is known, the suite of office applications is Microsoft’s cash cow , which brings the company the bulk of the profits).
Just today, Jeff Rakes spoke at the VoiceCon conference with the report “Transforming VoIP Communications” . In his speech, Jeff told about the plans of his company, according to which in three years about 100 million users will make VoIP-calls from Outlook, SharePoint and other MS Office applications. For comparison, today only 50 million people use VoIP-services by subscription.

Microsoft is going to distribute beta testers of Office Communications Server 2007 and Office Communicator 2007 to testers in March 2007 . This is the server and client part of the program for office VoIP communications. The Communications Server program can work in two versions: on a remote server or a server on the client’s network. After its installation, support for telephone conversations will appear in almost every application from the MS Office suite. Directly from a Word or Excel document, you can call a person with one click by name.
According to Rakes, Office Communications Server 2007 and Office Communicator 2007 are the most important communications products from Microsoft since the release of Microsoft Outlook 1997.
