The document discusses how work and communication have changed with technology. It notes that while some things remain the same, like needing to do more with less, competition and disruptive changes pose threats. However, technology also enables new opportunities through collaboration, mobile work, and cloud services. Adopting tools like Microsoft Lync can help businesses reduce costs, improve communication, and gain competitive advantages through better collaboration. While change can be difficult, not adapting risks falling behind competitors moving more quickly. Overall, the document advocates embracing new technologies to transform how businesses work and collaborate.

quickly
“Fastest take up of any
product we’ve ever
deployed. 60% of people
were using it within 24
hours of that tool landing
on their desktop. We put it
across 32,000 people in a
couple of weeks. There
were no compatibility
issues, there were no
scalability issues; it just
worked!”
