Microsoft Corp has announced the launch of its unified communications software in India, which it said would help corporates streamline workplace communications and reduce average cost of the voice over internet protocol (VoIP) system by half.

The unified communications software includes:
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007: software that delivers VoIP, instant messaging, video, and presence within the applications people already know and use.

Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007: advanced conferencing service that enables workers to conduct meetings, share documents, utilize video, and record discussions from any computer.
