Microsoft Communicator
Powerful Instant Messaging
Through powerful instant messaging functionality, staff can send and respond instantly to simple work requests and queries, freeing them from the need to reply to straightforward questions via email. Instant messaging also provides space for ideas to flourish and expand, similar to conventional meetings where conversations take a more dynamic form.
Presence Awareness
Colour-coded presence awareness states are set automatically based on your Outlook calendar and computer activity. Staff can also choose to set their own presence state manually from a range of options in addition to adding custom notes or setting their current location.
Collaborate and Share
When collaborating on large projects or tasks, staff can invite multiple users into a conversation, creating a virtual conference facility in which to share ideas and solve problems instantly. Group collaboration can also avoid the costs of lengthy teleconferences between staff in different locations.
Desktop sharing lets your staff share their entire computer desktop with conversation participants. This makes displaying slides, documents or applications between staff members a breeze. Staff can decide to share control of their desktop so that other participants can use their mouse and keyboard to navigate and modify shared content.
Keep Track
Whether it's a one-on-one chat or with a group, all conversations made with Communicator are automatically saved into a dedicated folder within the user's Outlook profile.
Notes taken during a conversation with Microsoft OneNote are also automatically saved in Outlook.
