Unified  Messaging Communications are either  synchronous Voice conversations, Video Conferencing, IM Or  Asynchronous Faxes, e-mail, voice mail  UM – about bring all the synch to one place. Major investment in Exchange 2007 Voice mail and fax into [Outlook] inbox Listen to e-mail when you call in for messages
Unified Communications We communicate with  people,  not addresses We have a huge choice of media The best medium varies:  Would you phone someone you knew to be out ? Would a chat save a long e-mail exchange Ever ask “is this a good time for a call” Choice of medium driven by presence
How would you connect if The person you wanted was... On Holiday for the next week In a meeting for the next 30 mins Around, but not at their PC At their PC but with a “do not disturb” sign Available  ... Wouldn’t it be good to know ?
The first goal of UC. Wherever I see a name, I see also see  presence.
Demo Presence in Microsoft apps.
“ Real-Time” in Microsoft Office Enabling Contextual Collaboration
When you have presence ... If you can see presence you can choose your mode of communication.  1:1 or multi-party Voice, Video, data-conference, IM, Mail .... Let the computer place the call To speak to one of my contacts , why must I key in their address on the voice Network ?
If the computer controls the call... Click to call ... Every phone number can (should) be a tel: URI Richer call management What is today’s protocol for call transfer Can you set up a conference call easily ? Information about inbound call  Caller ID on “Toast”  Why shouldn’t voice calls have a subject
Demo  Voice integration
