Thomson has announced that it will develop IP-enabled business desktop phones that are designed specifically to integrate with Microsoft Office Communications 2007 Server.

When using Thomson’s IP phones, workers will be able to access services such as email, voicemail and faxes by a common interface by either computer or phone, as well as make phone calls via the Internet.

The phones will work with 2007 Server presence-awareness, IP call management features and instant messaging capabilities, according to a statement issued by Thomson earlier this week.

The relationship between Thomson and Microsoft is a significant indication that IP technologies are one of the boom areas for business, as companies attempt to enhance productivity and lower costs.
