Communicator

Office Communicator 2007 is a communications client that enables CVTC faculty, staff, and students to communicate easily with each other using a range of different communication options, including instant messaging (IM), voice, and video. Use of this new technology is completely optional, but does provide several key features:

Key Features
  • CommunicatorEasy Access to Presence Information. Presence information shares your availability with other contacts, and allows you to view their availability. You can see whether a person is available, in a meeting, on the phone, or out of the office. Presence information is integrated from multiple sources such as your calendar, out of office message, computer activity, and your phone. You can also choose to set your status manually and/or add a custom message. You can also control who can see your information by assigning contacts to groups.
  • Flexible Communication. A communication might start with a simple IM, but with Communicator you can easily add other modes of communication such as voice, video, or upgrade to a Live Meeting session, all without opening new windows or starting another program.
  • Multi-select contacts for single click conferencing. You can initiate a multi-party conversation using IM, phone, or video by selecting multiple contacts at once. Select multiple names in your Contact List and right click to choose an option such as Send an Instant Message or Start a Conference Call.
  • Work together in real time in the office and on the road. Communicator 2007 is integrated into Citrix which means you can stay connected anytime you have access to the internet.
