MCI and Microsoft have agreed to integrate Windows Messenger with MCI Advantage, the companies said Wednesday. Windows Messenger's realtime communications capability, or instant messaging, will be integrated with MCI's Advantage converged communications solution.
By using the two services together, customers will have one communications tool handling voice, data and Internet information realtime via MCI's IP network. The deal follows MCI's disclosure of plans Tuesday to focus its investment and services strategy on converged networking solutions.
