Speed decision making and cut expensive phone and travel costs

Microsoft Office Communications Online provides robust instant messaging (IM) and presence functionality that enables real-time person-to-person communication via text, audio or video. Through presence awareness, workers can quickly detect a colleague’s availability for a time-sensitive consultation or business-critical decision – and then connect rapidly using a reliable, security-enhanced IM solution.

Whether team members are in the next room or on the next continent, the powerful combination of presence awareness and IM can help improve productivity, drive business efficiencies and build a more agile organisation.
