BASKING RIDGE, N.J. - Large businesses and government agencies will be able to immediately initiate conference calls from some of the most popular enterprise instant messaging (IM) applications, using new capabilities unveiled Wednesday (Feb. 4) by Verizon Business.
The company is one of the first global service providers to integrate audio and Web conferencing services across multiple leading IM services, including IBM Lotus Sametime Unified Communications and Collaboration, Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 and the Cisco Jabber XCP. As a result, businesses and government agencies will be able to initiate virtual meetings on the spot, thus speeding decision-making and helping to enhance productivity as they make the move to unified communications (UC).
The new tools are available immediately for U.S.-based organizations and are scheduled to be rolled out internationally later this year, along with Verizon audio and net conferencing integration with Microsoft Office Communicator 2007.
