One of the fastest growing areas in business right now is the convergence of telephony systems into email, instant messaging, and data communications. This includes replacing public Yahoo Messenger, AOL Messenger, and MSN Messenger "instant messaging" with a centralized OCS/2007 instant messaging system, replacing old PBX phone systems with new Voice-over-IP (VoIP) systems, integrating VoIP into existing digital phone systems, and tying voicemail into existing email systems.
Communication between employees and/or departments is a major stopping point for nearly every business. Olusegun never has time when you call. Tayo keeps forgetting to send you the specs you asked for. Projects don’t get done.
The way to unclog the drain is to get everyone on a single, unified communications system. The way to do that is to implement Office Communications Server.
Office Communications Server 2007, or OCS, helps users communicate with one another using the existing technology of your network. Instead of buying a high-cost telecom plan, and then adding on a bunch of third-party services.
Take a look at what OCS includes:
- Enterprise Instant Messaging – Run your own instant messaging (IM) service. Keep it internal only, or allow users to add their own contacts. You control the security for IM now, instead of AOL, Yahoo, etc.
- Presence – See the real-time status of employees. Know whether someone is available for a new task, or still busy. Visible in Outlook, on SharePoint, even on .NET-enabled web pages!
- Software-Powered VOIP – Start a voice conversation from inside Outlook. Receive calls while on other networks without a VPN. Built-in voicemail. No AT&T plan needed.
- Call Management – Treat a phone call like an email. Record it for later. Store it with project documentation. Transfer calls to your cell phone with a click (or do it automatically, for every call).
- Web-Based Conferencing – Real-time virtual collaboration. In your building or across the nation. No third-party software needed.
Drop the office phone plan. Cancel the expensive conferencing telecom package. Use Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 to handle all your employee communications.
SMSAM SYSTEMS LTD recommends Office Communications Server 2007 for growing companies with an existing Microsoft infrastructure and/or a networked phone system.
