Solutions Hosted Office Communications Server

Hosted Office Communications Server

Imagine a real-time communications solution that provides the infrastructure to allow secure instant messaging, presence, audio-video conferencing and web conferencing functionality within your organization and between your organization and the world.

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 (OCS 2007) delivers streamlined communications for your users so they can find and communicate with the right person, right now, via the applications they use most. Alteva's Hosted OCS service is the first fully-managed offering of its type. We take care of the complex server side infrastructure and deliver a service accessed by your users through the simple Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 or LiveMeeting interface, with Outlook integration. Alteva’s Hosted OCS provides the platform for convergence between IT and telephony infrastructure, which means a true Unified Communications solution for enterprises like yours.

Features of Alteva’s Hosted OCS include:

  • Presence: Presence enables real-time status of employees (based on calendar information, login/activity status, and user preference) to be displayed across the organization and/or selected colleagues to enable users to contact the right person the first time using the best communications method.
  • Instant Messaging: Enterprise instant messaging enables instant messaging with the security, manageability, and reliability required for enterprise communications. OCS 2007 has the capability to log and archive all instant message traffic passing through the server and to create Call Detail Records for conferences and voice. These features provide a measure of compliance, increasingly a legal or prudent requirement for many organizations.
  • Web Conferencing: Web conferencing is an optional functionality of Alteva's Hosted OCS 2007 offering. It provides a virtual meeting experience that integrates data, content, applications, video, voice, media, and text to enable real-time communication and collaboration whenever you need it. Your Hosted OCS web conference experience can be enhanced in the Board Room by the addition of the Microsoft RoundTable web conference camera and full-duplex video/audio device.
  • Microsoft Office Live Meeting: If you're just looking for on-demand web conferencing, not the permanent desktop functionality of OCS 2007, then Alteva also offers the new Microsoft Office LiveMeeting by on-line subscription. This is a Microsoft hosted service supported by Alteva.
  • Desktop Video Conferencing: When you need to be face to face, simply start a video conference with the click of your mouse.
