"Enterprise and SMB customers are looking for solutions that combine real-time messaging, conferencing and IP voice calling along with online workspaces, social networking, blogs and wikis to improve productivity and innovation.
"Solutions that combine team collaboration and unified communications represent the next major step forward for business collaboration."
