Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

Page 2 of 2 But collaboration is not just about sending verbal or text messages, knowing when someone is available and how to reach them. It is about collaborating on shared work projects, and in most enterprises this means collaborating on documents in Microsoft applications: Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc. The stakes in this game are huge. With its dominant position in enterprise applications and its increasing power in communications and collaboration Microsoft has the potential to dominate all three markets. It will be far harder for the traditional communications system vendors, which are not in the enterprise applications space, to maintain their ground. Today all co-operate and collaborate with Microsoft but with the threat of competitions growing stronger by the day these must be uneasy partnerships.{moscomment}
