Microsoft Unveils New Release of Office Communications Server
Microsoft debuted the latest edition of Office Communications Server 2007, Microsoft's platform for unifying presence, instant messaging, remote conferencing, and Voice over IP. The R2 version of Microsoft Communications Server 2007 includes enhancements that give IT organizations more versatility for maintaining their communications infrastructure effectively while representing an extensible platform for collaborative business processes.
To reduce costs, improve efficiency, and support teamwork, the latest edition of Office Communications Server permits dial-in audioconferencing to eliminate expensive outside services with an in-house audioconferencing software bridge that is managed along with the current communications infrastructure. Microsoft Communications Server also now permits desktop sharing, which enables users to share their PC transparently and launch audio communications and team up with colleagues outside the company on Windows PC, Mac, or Linux-powered computers through a Web-based connection. The latest edition of Office Communications Server also allows geographically dispersed teams to work together by participating in theme-based dialogues that persist over time. This tool supplies participants with an index of all active discussion rooms and themes, periodically backs up discussions in a file format that meets compliance requirements, delivers utilities to search the entire record of chat on a given theme, and offers filters and alerts to inform someone of recent updates.
Release 2 of Office Communications Server also includes improved support for voice communications and mobile workers. The innovative attendant console permits support personnel or team secretaries to manage calls and conferences on behalf of associates, establish workflows to direct phone calls, and handle larger volumes of incoming communications via a software-based console. The Session Initiation Protocol trunking feature allows companies to cut expenses by establishing up a straight-through VoIP connection between an Internet telephony service provider and Microsoft Communications Server 2007 without requiring in-house gateways. In addition, Office Communicator Mobile functionality has been extended to more device platforms including the Motorola RAZR, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile.
