Microsoft Delivers New Release of Communications Server 2007
Microsoft announced the newest edition of Microsoft Office Communications Server, Microsoft's solution for managing presence awareness, IM infrastructure, video conferencing, and software-based VoIP. The latest version of Office Communications Server includes improvements that offer IT managers additional control for supporting their communications infrastructure effectively while providing an extensible platform for communications-enabled business processes.
To reduce expenses, increase efficiency, and promote teamwork, the new version of Microsoft Communications Server permits dial-in conferencing to eliminate expensive outside services with an on-premises conferencing bridge that can be controlled as part of a company's current communications infrastructure. Microsoft Office Communications Server also now permits desktop sharing, which enables users to share their desktop transparently and launch audio communications and team up with others outside the organization on PC, Apple Mac, or Linux-powered platforms via a web interface. The latest release of Microsoft Communications Server 2007 also allows geographically dispersed groups to work together by taking part in topic-based discussions that persist over time. This tool supplies participants with an index of all active discussion rooms and themes, automatically backs up chats in a format that meets compliance requirements, provides tools to search the complete history of discussion on a specific topic, and provides filters and alerts to notify someone about recent updates.
the new edition of Microsoft Communications Server 2007 also incorporates enhanced support for voice communications and mobile workers. The innovative attendant console permits receptionists or team administrators to control phone calls and conferences for associates, set up workflows to route phone calls, and handle higher volumes of incoming calls via a software-based interface. A new SIP trunking capability allows businesses to reduce costs by setting up a straight-through VoIP connection between an IP telephony service provider and Office Communications Server without needing in-house gateways. In addition, Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile functionality has been extended to new device platforms such as the Motorola RAZR, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile.
