MICROSOFT OFFICE COMMUNICATIONS ONLINE

IM and Presence Awareness

Microsoft Office Communications Online delivers robust instant messaging (IM) and presence functionality that enables real-time person-to-person communication via text, voice and video, across an organization. Through presence awareness, workers can quickly detect a colleague's availability for a time-sensitive consult or business-critical decision—and then connect rapidly using a reliable, security-enhanced IM solution.
Office Communications Online requires the separate purchase and installation of Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2. As a limited time offer, Office Communications Online customers receive one licensed copy of Office Communicator 2007 R2 at no cost with each trial or paid subscription license to Office Communications Online. The software may only be used with Office Communications Online, and all rights to use the software will terminate upon expiration of the underlying subscription license or release of the next major new version of Office Communications Online, whichever comes first.
