TechNet Chopsticks: Unified Communications with Office Communications Server 2007 R2

Unified Communications with Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Introduction: What is OCS? Positioning, business value Let’s start with a flashback on the history of Office Communications server (OCS) (LCS 2003, LCS 2005, LCS 2005 Sp1, OCS 2007) and Microsoft Unified Communications. After this short introduction, you will learn more about the power of those tools and why you should care about it. Next-Generation Collaboration This first session focuses on “dial-in audio conferencing”, providing you with an on-premise audio conferencing bridge managed by IT as part of the overall communications infrastructure. You will also discover the “desktop sharing across platforms” possibilities (Windows, Macintosh & Linux), through a Web-based interface and the interest of “persistent group chat”, offering the ability to participate in topic-based discussions and even offline.

Then we will have a close look at the “Initiation Protocol Trunking”, thereby reducing costs by enabling business to setup a direct VoIP connection between an Internet telephony service provider and OCS. You will also learn more about “Mobility and single-number reach”, allowing users to communicate using presence, IM and voice as an extension of their PBX from a unified client and get a view on “Response Group” which provides a simple-to-use basic engine for call treatment, routing and queuing. Architecture OCS 2007 R2 During this part of the presentation we will discuss the OCS 2007 R2 topology and the different hardware and software requirements Unified Communications with Office Communications Server 2007 R2 – Part II (Dutch) : https://www.microsoft.com/belux/technet/nl/chopsticks/default.aspx?id=1004 Unified Communications with Office Communications Server 2007 R2 – Part II (French) : https://www.microsoft.com/belux/technet/nl/chopsticks/default.aspx?id=1012
