component in providing cloud based services. Webspace will become increasingly UCC-centric, enabling a single data view of
multiple, integrated, third-party cloud services. Webspace combines contemporary UX and design and extensibility options, providing an optimal experience on tablets, PCs and smartphones.
• Ongoing integration of cloud accessed services, e.g.: personal cloud (storage) – using the marketplace environment as a model,
Webspace will integrate carefully selected services that complement email. Services such as cloud storage, video conferencing, cloud backup, and SMB social media platforms all represent relevant email augmentation options.
• Multiple marketplace implementations, using proprietary and open standards platforms.
