Communication between employees and/or departments is a major stopping point for nearly every business. Frank never has time when you call. Alice 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 webpages!
- 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 cellphone 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.
PlanetMagpie recommends Office Communications Server 2007 for growing companies with an existing Microsoft infrastructure and/or a networked phone system. Call us at 408-341-8770 to schedule a discussion of OCS.
