Unified Communcations

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007

Office Communications Server 2007 manages all real-time (synchronous) communications including: instant messaging, VoIP, audio and video conferencing. It works with existing tele-communications systems, so business can deploy advanced VoIP and conferencing without tearing out their legacy phone networks.

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 also powers presence, a key benefit of Microsoft unified communications that unites all the contact information stored in Active Directory with the ways people communicate.

With presence, you can see at-a-glance if someone is available and contact them with a click using instant messaging, a phone call or a video conference.

OCS 2007 includes the following products:

• Office Communicator 2007
• Exchange Server 2007
• Office 2007
• OCS Speech Server
• Live Communications Server 2005
  

As Microsoft continues to remain at the forefront of the unified communications vision, we recognize our role in bringing this concept to life to address real-world technology issues.
