• Improved productivity: Rich presence information helps employees find each other and choose the most effective way to communicate at a given time. It enables users to maximize real-time collaboration through enhanced conferencing with desktop, application, and virtual whiteboard sharing. The unified voice-enabled Microsoft Lync™ 2010 client provides access to enterprise voice, enterprise messaging, and conferencing from one simplified interface.

• Support for the mobile workforce: Mobile workers can access rich unified communications tools from practically anywhere with an Internet connection, no VPN needed. The presence feature in Lync™ Server 2010 has been updated with mobile location information, making on-the-go workers easier to find and contact.

• Enhanced operational efficiencies: By integrating unified communications and rich presence into business workflows, latency and delays can be reduced or eliminated. For geographically dispersed teams, group chat can enable efficient, topic-specific, multi-party discussions that persist over time.
