For Immediate Release
Pittsburgh, PA: Allin Corporation (OTCBB: ALLN), a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner technology consulting company, having already achieved specializations in messaging and IM/presence, is pleased to announce that they have earned the third Unified Communications competency specialization in Voice through the Microsoft Partner Program.
Earning the Voice specialization requires the completion of competency testing and a rigorous technical readiness program that includes specific staffing requirements and an internal deployment of the complete Microsoft Unified Communications offering. Microsoft partners who achieve the Microsoft Unified Communications competency Voice specialization are qualified by Microsoft to deploy Microsoft unified communications technologies such as Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, including VoIP and audio-, video-, and Web-conferencing.
“Microsoft partners that have achieved Voice specialization are distinguished experts at integrating VoIP, unified messaging and conferencing with Microsoft unified communications technologies,” said Eric Swift, Senior Director of product management for the Unified Communications Group at Microsoft Corp. “The Microsoft Partner Program and Voice specialization provides partners with technical, marketing, networking and sales resources necessary to drive stronger, more profitable business results for customers.”
“Allin provides enterprise organizations with cutting edge telephony and unified communications solutions,” said Andrew Saletra, strategic relationship manager at Allin. “As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner who has achieved the Microsoft Unified Communications competency Voice specialization, our customers are assured they are hiring an expert to deploy Microsoft’s latest unified communications voice technologies. Allin recently completed our own internal communications infrastructure migration to a full Microsoft unified communications solution. We have been enjoying enterprise presence and IM, including collaboration with Microsoft, for some time now. Our conventional phone system was replaced with a Microsoft platform solution with full VoIP capability including the ability to work with Office Communications Server 2007 and voicemail hosted on Exchange Server 2007. Voicemail messages appear seamlessly in our Inbox and we can access our Inbox and voicemail on the road with Microsoft Outlook Voice Access capability. In addition everyone at Allin can take advantage of the integrated media experience offered by Office Communications Server 2007 for conference calls and meetings. Using the Microsoft RoundTable conferencing device, we now conduct our weekly sales meetings virtually. Of course all of the technical handiwork was complements of our Infrastructure Practice team!”
