Have you seen Microsoft Office Communications Server (aka OCS)? OCS is a suite of applications that integrate with Microsoft Exchange Server and offer Unified Communications functionality. Watch a video on our web site: http://www.beringer.net/ocs.aspx 

The OCS suite offers:

Outlook Voice Access – Allows users to interact with Outlook/Exchange using a telephone. Users can listen to, reply to, create and forward email messages. They can also listen to or change calendar information.

Presence – Allows a user to determine another users’ availability to communicate via a given method. Presence is determined by several factors including the users’ Outlook calendar, status of their phone and other factors. Presence is displayed in several applications such as Outlook, IM client, Microsoft CRM, the OCS client and other applications.

Instant Messaging – OCS provides a private Instant Messaging system for businesses. This platform can be used for internal and/or external communications and integrates with Microsoft Outlook. IM conversations are displayed in Outlook similarly to email and can be archived.

Conferencing – Users can conduct telephone conferences using OCS. The OCS client software allows users to schedule conference calls and manage invitations. 

Live Meeting – Allows you to hold online meetings and present your PC screen to the attendees of the meeting. There is a scheduling plug-in for Outlook that let’s presenters schedule meetings and manage attendees.

Enterprise Voice – OCS offers VoIP functionality allowing integration of voice with email, calendaring, instant messaging and conferencing. OCS can integrate with existing PBX systems allowing you to implement OCS without replacing your current phone system. Key features of OCS Enterprise Voice include anywhere access, single number reach, team calling and more.
