Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 is the Microsoft Office system hub for live, real-time communications. Office Communicator 2007 is the primary place where you find and connect with people through an instant message, a phone call, or an audio- or videoconference.
Availability at a glance
A key piece of the Office Communicator 2007 experience is the presence icon. Presence tells at a glance if someone is online and available for a conversation.
Presence polls data from Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, so it stays in synch. You don't have to manage presence for it know that you're in a meeting or out of the office. Of course, you can control your presence status by manually setting it to "busy" or "do not disturb."
Click-to-connect
With Office Communicator 2007, you can launch an instant message or a phone call with a click. If you need to bring more people into the conversation, Office Communicator 2007 makes it easy. You just click their names and add them: it doesn't matter if it's a phone call or an instant message session. It's just as easy to switch to a videoconference, complete with an online workspace for sharing files.
Move between modes
With Office Communicator 2007, the barriers between different ways of communicating evaporate. You can move fluidly from an instant messaging session to a videoconference.
