Chat, voice and video together, finally:
A communication might start with a simple IM. With Office Communicator 2007 you can add other modes of communication. If voice or video would be more effective, you can add those modes without opening new windows or starting another program.
Increase "off the clock" employee participation:
Allow for more employee productivity by encouraging telecommuting during non-business hours. Now you can stay connected on one or multiple devices using the same sign-in credentials. Connect from your desktop PC, a public Internet kiosk using Communicator Web Access, Microsoft Windows Mobile® device using Communicator Mobile, or device offers the most convenience.
Become more efficient and increase your bottom line:
Stay agile and grow by keeping branch inter-office communications fast and easy. From an e-mail message received in Office Outlook 2007, users can view presence information about other users and initiate real-time communication from within the message, avoiding the need to switch applications and search for users.
Be mobile; interact out of the office and away from home:
Communicator Mobile delivers anywhere access, rich presence, and enterprise instant messaging (IM) that helps people quickly find and communicate with each other. The 2007 version of Office Communicator Mobile is designed with a similar look and feel to the desktop version of Microsoft Office Communicator 2007.
Connect your phones, voicemail, IM, and presence together:
Works directly with Digisist Hosted PBX Systems to help track calls. Digisist is the #1 rated Small Business Phone System. Office Communicator 2007 focuses on the people in a conversation and provides a consistent experience regardless of whether the conversation is using IM, voice, video, or other modes.
See when colleagues are available, away, busy or offline:
Hosted OCS users can see whether colleagues are available, away, busy or offline. It integrates with Outlook, SharePoint, OCS for Windows Mobile© and the desktop client Office Communicator.
When working on a document in Office Word 2007, users can see a list of the people associated with the document along with availability information for those users. From this contextual list and based on this availability information, users can initiate a conversation directly with the appropriate people.
Rich presence capabilities enable you to share information about your availability with other contacts, and to view their availability. Office Communicator 2007 integrates presence information from multiple sources — including your calendar and out of office message — to provide better information so people know if you're available to communicate, and if so, which method would be best.
Never forget an important conversation again:
Office Communications Server lets users save and search all IM conversations inside Outlook, just like their email. With Office Communicator 2007, you can maintain a log of all incoming and outgoing calls and IM sessions, including the date and time, subject, participant names, and if applicable.
Most companies use secure private email, but insecure public IM:
Secure instant messaging allows users to send messages with end-to-end encryption so sensitive information is never at risk of being hacked. Streamlined Fusion's hosted OCS enables real-time communications, including enterprise-class secure instant messaging, software-powered Voice over IP (VoIP), and audio and video web conferencing.
Drag and drop file transfer:
PC-to-PC file transferring functionality allows instant document-sharing, increasing productivity and efficiency. You can share data in a rich format, drag contacts to initiate calls, invite users to join a conference, or transfer files.
