Desktop Collaboration
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 manages real-time communications including instant messaging, VoIP, audio and video conferencing. It works with existing telecommunications systems so that you can deploy advanced VoIP and conferencing without replacing your legacy phone networks.
Microsoft OCS also powers presence, a key benefit where you can see at-a-glance if someone is available and then contact them using instant messaging, a phone call or a video conference, whatever suits you best.
The Office Communications Server 2007 is the next version of Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005. It delivers more streamlined communications to end users, a software-powered VoIP foundation for organisations, and operational IT control.
Key features include a number of improvements to instant messaging and presence capability such as integration with Microsoft Exchange Server distribution lists. It also includes software-powered VoIP, allowing users to make, receive and manage voice (phone) calls using the Office Communicator running on their computer and multi-party on-premise audio, web and video conferencing.
Office Communications Server 2007 also supports the ICE framework of protocols, allowing users to take advantage of these communications capabilities from wherever they are without needing to establish a VPN connection.
Key benefits of Microsoft OCS
- Increase productivity and alleviate the pain of waiting for information. Find people, see if they are available, and then contact them at the click of a button. Sharing information faster will help you make progress on projects or tasks quicker
- Improve workforce mobility. Reduce offsite productivity loss when your mobile workers can access the system without having to login through a VPN (Virtual Private Network). With OCS they can work as effectively remotely as if they were in your office
- Ensure that your sensitive business information is protected and secure. By providing encrypted and optionally logged transactions between public IM data centers and internal users, you can securely and effectively connect your workers to the most popular public IM services (MSN, AOL, and Yahoo)
- Microsoft Office System integration. Ms OCS looks familiar, needs little training and integrates perfectly with the whole Ms Office range of products and solutions
- Scalable. Extend real-time communications to customers, partners, and suppliers with Ms OCS that easily scales from just a few users to over 100,000 users
- Get your organization up and running quickly. Take advantage of new deployment tools that simplify the introduction of enterprise-grade instant messaging into your Windows environment
Microsoft OCS can be installed as a desktop collaboration solution, or as part of a wider unified communications strategy.
