Microsoft unified communications - Tele-Communication, Inc. can help.

And delivers them across multiple convenient applications and devices:

Desktop computers and telephone
Public Internet
Windows Mobile-powered devices
PSTN telephones

The communications world is split in two - between the things you do on the telephone and the things you do on the computer.

The split exists because most real-time (synchronous) communications--like telephone calls and voice mail--depend on one network, while message based (asynchronous) communications--like e-mail--depend on a separate, incompatible network.

Real-time (synchronous) communications run on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Asynchronous communications run on packet-based networks like Ethernet (IP).The split creates problems, lots of them. Phones aren't as intuitive as they should be: just try to start a three-way call without hanging up on someone. Computers can check your e-mail, but not your voice mail. And then there's the enormous cost of purchasing, maintaining, and upgrading two complex infrastructures.

To get your phones and your computers talking, you'd have to tear out your entire telephone system, dump your PBX, replace every desk phone, swap out every phone jack. In short, you'd have to start from scratch.

The joint solutions deliver efficient operations and streamlined communications with business-grade reliability and an evolutionary path for customers to move from current solutions to unified communications capabilities.

Juniper Networks

Juniper Networks' high-performance network infrastructure helps businesses accelerate the deployment of services and applications to take advantage of opportunities to innovate, grow, and strengthen their business. With Juniper Networks, business can answer the challenge of complicated legacy networks with high-performance, open, flexible solutions that enable consolidation, rapid deployment and scaling of services and applications to support evolving business demands and protect against business risks.

Microsoft unified communications technologies maximize your existing infrastructure by integrating legacy PBX systems through a VoIP/PBX gateway.

With Microsoft unified communications technologies, the computers on your network gain the functionality of advanced VoIP phones. Users can click to call any contact in their address book. A simple phone call can become a conference call or a video conference, on the fly. Tear down the walls that separate tele-communications and computing.

Microsoft unified communications technologies are more than just VoIP. They break down all the traditional communications silos. Voice-mail and faxes move over the network like e-mail. They arrive in your Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 inbox where you can sort, prioritize, and forward them, just like any piece of e-mail. And when you're on the road, you can dial in over any telephone to hear your e-mails and your calendars. You can even access your Microsoft Office Outlook directory and place calls from any telephone.
