The document discusses improving business productivity through more efficient meetings, video and data conferencing, workspaces and flexible working, training, and marketing and communications.
It argues that the traditional ways of working are outdated and inefficient, wasting valuable time and resources. A new approach is needed that embraces technology solutions to enable more productive collaboration anywhere and anytime.
The "Business Productivity Suite" is introduced as an integrated set of productivity technologies that address key areas to transform how businesses work and drive tangible returns through increased efficiency, engagement and reduced costs.
