PATH, a Seattle-based nonprofit organization, works to save lives and improve health conditions in more than 65 countries. Skilled teams develop and deploy affordable, sustainable technologies, strengthen local health systems, and encourage healthy behaviors. To overcome the barriers to communication that PATH encounters in developing countries, it is deploying a solution based on Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The solution will enhance PATH telephony systems and improve efficiency with unified messaging. Staffers are finding that standardized instant messaging and greater awareness of one another's availability helps them to solve problems together faster. PATH expects to spend much less of its program funding on long-distance tariffs, freeing up limited dollars for other essential activities that directly aid people in need.
