Realized Return On Investment

 At Horizons, we learned that many of our customers were spending $15,000-$30,000 per month on an audio conferencing solution. Through discovery and planning, an ROI audit, and rapid deployment, we enabled these organizations to significantly cut technology expenses by internally implementing a Microsoft Unified Communications infrastructure with Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2.
