From LINQ to SilverLight – Watch videos and hear about all the cool technologies coming and the people behind them. http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/office+communication+server en Mon, 20 May 2013 17:37:09 GMT Mon, 20 May 2013 17:37:09 GMT Rev9 7 1 25 Get Ready to Lync Up Your Kinect to the Office Microsoft Lync is the next generation of Office Communications Server, and brings together video and voice communications, presence, file transfer, instant messaging  and more into one cohesive package for the workplace.

The latest release of the platform was launched in New York yesterday, and is set to be available from December 1st. According to Microsoft’s announcement, corporations such as Boeing, Estee Lauder, France Telecom, Nikon and Orange are already using Lync.

A big element of yesterday’s buzz around Lync was a discussion on bridging the gap “between the boardroom and the home”. To support that goal, Lync’s Corporate Vice President, Gurdeep Singh Pall, announced plans for a forthcoming software update for Lync which will integrate Microsoft’s Kinect Video Chat with the platform’s video conferencing service.

We highlighted Video Chat for Kinect a few weeks ago, which allows video chat with other Kinect users as well as your contacts on Windows Live Messenger. Whilst it’s fair to say we all spend a little too much time at the office nowadays, the integration of Kinect into Lync at least means we'll have the company of family and friends whilst nailing that crucial deadline at the office.

You can only do so much with Video Chat. I just wish I had a physical presence on campus. Well, the folks at MSR (Microsoft Research) are doing some research into what they call "Embodied Social Proxies." Basically, how will a team's relationship with a remote work change if there is a physical stand-in (er, Embodied Social Proxy) that they can interact with. It's more than just a table with a webcam. Check out the video!

Michael Murphy and Chip Vollers discuss the benefits of Unified Communications and Windows Mobile.

Communications today are increasingly complex,  with a vast array of ways to communicate and an equally broad range of different devices and applications. While supposedly making our lives easier, all of these options actually make our lives more complicated. We are simply overwhelmed by the options to stay in touch with each other. This is communication chaos. 

Microsoft believes the answer lies in software. Software that is people-ready, helping people to work more effectively together in real time. Unified Communications solutions provide presence awareness throughout Office System and LOB applications, enable teams to work together from distributed offices and while on the go, and reduce down time and hasten business decisions. Microsoft’s UC solutions deliver identity-based, rich presence-enabled communications on the desktop and extend those capabilities to Windows Mobile devices with Office Communicator 2007. Communicator Mobile 2007 is designed to easily work with existing Office Communications Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 deployments, minimizing cost, management, and additional infrastructure investments.
