Office Communicator 2007 is the client application for real-time (synchronous) communications. It is the user's primary tool for presence and directory information, instant messaging, plus telephone calls, and audio- and videoconferencing.

Its intuitive design makes it easy for users to communicate with features like click-to-call and the ability to shift conversations from instant messages to phone or videoconferences on the fly.

Plus, it helps users control incoming communications with alerts, automatic call forwarding and the ability to manually set their status light. Users can set their status to busy when they need to focus, and Office Communicator 2007 routes all incoming calls to voice mail.

Office Communicator 2007 also integrates the entire communications experience into the Microsoft Office system and beyond. Presence information appears wherever a contact's name appears: in a document workspace, on a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server site, or in an e-mail string. With Office Communicator Mobile 2007, users can have tools like presence and click-to-call on their Windows Mobile-powered devices.
