Teamwork today demands collaboration with more people,
in more organisations than ever before regardless of
geographic location. Despite the myriad of devices designed to
bolster communications, the simple task of connecting with
someone has never been more time intensive or complex.
OCS integrates your phone system with the familiar Microsoft environment creating a communication process which is seamless.
On average, information workers spend 20 percent of their
working day on email and receive up to 75 percent of their
relevant information from other people. The impact of
“unreachable workers” leads to lost time, money and even
customers. One of the biggest challenges therefore is
leveraging new technology to keep teams, workflows and the
communication devices that support them, connected.
Live Communications Server 2005 delivers instant messaging (IM) and presence as part of a scalable, enterprise-grade solution offering enhanced security, seamless integration with other Microsoft products, and an extensible, industry-standard development platform.
Your organisation can realise cost savings and improved business efficiencies, increased individual productivity, and enhanced intellectual property protection with this easy-to-manage, highly available solution.
Find and communicate with people instantly to increase productivity
Increase productivity with integrated presence and real-time communication to locate people and share information quickly.
- Instantly find and collaborate with local and remote users to share critical and time-sensitive information. Presence awareness within your desktop and line-of-business applications eliminates delays in locating and communicating with key work partners.
- Provide mobile workers with access at home or on the road. Enable remote users to access security-enhanced presence and IM solutions without requiring Virtual Private Networking (VPN).
- Collaborate with business partners and other organisations as easily as co-workers while protecting sensitive business information. By providing encrypted and optionally logged transactions between public IM data centers and Live Communications Server internal users, organisations can more securely and effectively connect information workers to the most popular public IM services (MSN, AOL, and Yahoo!).
Take advantage of Microsoft Office System integration
Microsoft works to ensure that customers can extend current infrastructure investments, yet have the opportunity to incorporate new technologies into existing computing environments. Live Communications Server 2005 is part of the Microsoft Windows Server System and adheres to the common engineering criteria.
- Improve the security of your collaboration infrastructure. Live Communications Server 2005 allows users to share Microsoft Office and other applications from work or home with encrypted IM and voice- and video-enhanced collaborative sessions.
- Allow users to find and communicate with people without interrupting their workflow. Real-time communication capabilities within Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Word, and other familiar Office programs indicate presence to accelerate team collaboration dramatically.
Eliminate communication delays with co-workers and business partners
With advanced presence technology, Live Communications Server 2005 offers instant access to team members, partners, suppliers, and customers across multiple geographies, time zones, and organisational boundaries.
- Improve business efficiency by enabling information workers to find and communicate with people in a security-enhanced enterprise-grade real-time communications environment. Live Communications Server provides presence awareness from your familiar Microsoft Office and line-of-business applications to eliminate delays in locating and communicating with co-workers and business partners.
- Get a manageable and scalable solution with seamless integration among Live Communications Server 2005, the Microsoft Office System, and the Windows Server System infrastructure.
Develop enterprise-grade unified communications solutions
Build solutions that are integrated with your existing Microsoft infrastructure, delivering enterprise-grade security, scale, and manageability.
- Authenticate users and provide Kerberos and NT LAN Manager (NTLM) capabilities for single sign-on. Integration with Microsoft Windows Active Directory consolidates your network, server, and IM user resources to give you more security and control over your network.
- Provide a unified communications solution that can scale up as your company grows. Extend real-time communications to customers, partners, and suppliers while scaling to over 100,000 users with Enterprise Edition and approximately 15,000 users with Standard Edition.
- Increase uptime for your enterprise communications. Advanced architecture using Microsoft SQL Server offers future growth and data recovery capabilities, which guard against unscheduled downtime and data loss.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory and internal controls. Use SQL-based logging and searchable conversation logs in Live Communications Server to allow internal auditing of IM transactions.
