When transportation services provider Canada Cartage wanted to unify its voice and messaging systems to connect its 25 locations across Canada, Navantis worked with the company to implement a unified communications solution by using Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007.

Navantis integrated the solution with the carrier’s existing infrastructure and overcame challenges such as connecting it with a complex PBX system. Canada Cartage anticipates reduced costs associated with travel and long-distance phone charges. Sales teams that build transport solutions for customers can work together more effectively with features that turn instant-messaging conversations into group conference calls with shared whiteboards.

"When Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 came into the picture, it changed our whole thought process about unified communications."
