The new era of communication

With a common mission to empower people and organizations, Microsoft and LinkedIn intend to break down the silos of information that currently exist for professionals and "create more connected, intelligent and productive experiences."

June 17, 2016

The announcement of Microsoft's intention to acquire LinkedIn will bring together the "world's leading professional cloud and network." With a common mission to empower people and organizations, Microsoft and LinkedIn intend to break down the silos of information that currently exist for professionals and "create more connected, intelligent and productive experiences." This announcement helps to further confirm what we have believed the last 25 years at Omnivex — when you connect people with information where and when they need it you improve productivity, unlock ROI and break down silos.

At Omnivex, we see information as being fundamental to empowering people and organizations. Providing access to information, while a seemingly simple task, is not always easy or straightforward. To empower, information must be available at the right time on the right device. Imagine an important announcement like Microsoft and LinkedIn made yesterday being read by employees hours after it was published in the media. Or executives heading to the airport to catch a flight that has been delayed to travel to a meeting that has moved locations and they are unaware of either change. How about the line manager in a manufacturing plant getting notified the next day or week of important KPIs like inventory shortages or product defects?  

In all of these situations, being able to push information in real-time to individuals regardless of where they are or to the device that makes the most sense at that moment, provides not only empowerment but enables intelligent decision making and creates a new level of connection.

At Omnivex, we see a future that includes a vibrant communications infrastructure where organizations and professionals have access to the right information at the right time on the right device. This eliminates the information silos that have developed over the last few decades.
