Microsoft Delivers Latest Version of Office Communications Server 2007
Microsoft announced the next version of Microsoft Office Communications Server, Microsoft's platform for managing presence, instant messaging, remote conferencing, and Voice over IP. The Release 2 edition of Microsoft Office Communications Server includes enhancements that give IT managers more versatility for managing their communications infrastructure efficiently while representing an extensible architecture for communications-enabled business processes.
To lower costs, improve productivity, and enhance teamwork, the new release of Microsoft Communications Server 2007 allows phone audioconferencing to replace expensive third-part services with an on-premises audioconferencing bridge that is managed along with an organization's current communications infrastructure. Microsoft Communications Server also now features desktop sharing, which allows workers to share their PC seamlessly and initiate audio communications and collaborate with others external to the company on PC, Macintosh, or Linux computers through a Web-based interface. The new edition of Microsoft Office Communications Server also allows geographically scattered teams to work together by taking part in theme-based discussions that persist indefinitely. This tool supplies users with a list of all active chat rooms and topics, periodically archives chats in a file format that meets compliance regulations, delivers utilities to look through the entire history of discussion on a specific topic, and offers filters and alerts to inform people about recent posts.
the latest edition of Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 also incorporates improved support for voice and mobility. The new attendant window allows receptionists or group secretaries to manage phone calls and conferences for other users, establish workflows to route phone calls, and manage larger volumes of incoming calls through an intuitive software console. A new SIP trunking feature allows businesses to reduce expenses by setting up a straight-through VoIP connection between an IP telephony service provider and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 without needing in-house gateways. Also, Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile functionality now includes new platforms including the Motorola RAZR, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile.
