Computer Weekly has just hosted a webinar on collaboration and innovation entitled "Beating a business downturn with collaborative technologies."

The event featured Gary Bellfield, ICT Manager at Tayside Fire and Rescue, which is using the concept of 'presence' to contact its staff in real-time through a BT-backed solution based on Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, plus BT and research group Ovum.

The event attracted a series of excellent questions, answered by Steve Masters, BT's Global Head of Unified Communications and Mike Davis, senior analyst at Ovum, which will be covered here over the next few days and weeks.
