• Microsoft Lync Features

• Instant Messaging and Presence

Instant Messaging:

Users can start an IM session with a colleague for quick responses to questions. As more engagement is needed on a subject, invite multiple parties to join in on the same conversation. Also, get reconnected to the topic by rejoining existing conversations.

Users can also connect with people outside the organization. Server-to-server federation capabilities allow users to utilize presence and IM with other Microsoft Communications Server users outside the corporate network. And the public IM connectivity capability increases reach even further by allowing connections with several public IM networks such as MSN/Windows Live, Yahoo!, and AOL. Microsoft has extensive experience in designing and operating a highly available instant messaging solution. One key component is the Intelligent Instant Message Filter (IIMF) built into Lync Online, which helps protect both the customer network and the Microsoft managed network against the spread of the most common viruses and spam.

Presence:

Presence is the ability to detect another user's availability. Using Lync, users can display their presence status-for example, Available, Away, Do Not Disturb, or Offline-to let others know their availability for consultation.

To easily monitor the presence information of another user, users can add other users to their contact list, and can organize and group these contacts in different ways (by department, for example). Users may also search their company's address book to find other users-which means it is not necessary to add someone to the contact list in order to detect presence or send an instant message.

File Transfer/Sharing:

The Lync Online service also provides peer-to-peer file transfer capability so users can transfer files as part of a Lync session without using email.

Online Meetings (Audio/Video/Web Conferencing)::

Presence is the ability to detect another user's availability. Using Lync, users can display their presence status-for example, Available, Away, Do Not Disturb, or Offline-to let others know their availability for consultation.

Lync Online meetings enable users to connect from virtually anywhere through PC-based audio, video, and web conferencing-both as scheduled meetings and as ad-hoc collaboration sessions. With Lync Online, users can collaborate, share information, and coordinate their efforts in real time, all within context. Lync Online supports an integrated conferencing experience, enabling users to join the same conference from the PC (via the Lync 2010 client) or from a phone (requires a separate PSTN audio conferencing service).
