HAVE A CONVERSATION…WITHOUT THE PHONE

a day in the life STORY

Chat any time with a colleague in another office…or another state.

Collaboration, just the way you like it, is just a click away with Microsoft Unified Communications.

 
 
 
 
 

Start an online chat.

Ever struggled to answer a question in email and decided to have a quick chat instead? Karen does just that, clicking Julian’s name to start an online instant messaging chat.

 

 
 
 
 
 

Make a call on your computer.

To continue their conversation by voice, Karen clicks Julian’s name to start a voice call. Karen talks on a headset connected to her computer; Julian prefers a UC phone on his desk.

 
 
 
 
 

Show your desktop to a colleague.

Some questions are just easier to answer with a document in front of you. Karen shares her desktop with Julian so that they can review the data together.

 
 
 
 
 

Invite someone to an online conversation.

Julian has questions about the data that Karen can’t answer. With a click, Karen invites Jeff to join the conversation.

 
Some features described here require that you use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2007 account and that your Exchange Server administrator enables the Unified Messaging feature.
