Why use OCS?
While most companies have email systems they can archive and track, many still use non-secure instant messaging systems. Often unknown and untracked by IT or management, public IM systems open a business to serious legal and security risks.
Intermedia's hosted Office Communications Server 2007 service is:
- Secure and private
- Legally compliant
- Built for business use
- Integrated* with your hosted Exchange email
Business benefits
Hosted OCS provides a secure and professional alternative for instant messaging and unified communications. Benefits include:
-
Free/busy status – integrated
Hosted OCS users can see whether colleagues are available, away, busy or offline. It integrates* with Outlook, SharePoint and the desktop client Office Communicator (included free with the service). So if a user has a meeting from 10am to 11am, they will automatically display as 'busy' in Office Communicator. -
Conversations are saved
Office Communications Server lets users save and search all IM conversations inside Outlook, just like their email. -
Secure and private
Secure instant messaging allows users to send messages with end-to-end encryption so sensitive information is never at risk of being hacked. -
Higher productivity
PC-to-PC file transferring functionality allows instant document-sharing, increasing productivity and efficiency. PC to PC voice and video calls increase communiction and workflow between employees.
