Who? Ashima Singhal and Bob Serr.

What? Group Chat - new functionality coming in OCS 2007 R2. Once I saw it, I got it. Group Chat gives you the ability to set up multiple chat rooms, and subscribe to those rooms. You can set up key word notifiers to let you know when certain topics come up. All chat transcripts are archived and indexed, so you can go back and search for previous discussions. All this, plus a lot more. Bob and Ashima give a great demo of all the things you can do with Group Chat.

Part 3 in a Series

This time, my visit to the OCS team lead me to Huat Chye Lim and Ashima Singhal. Huat shows us some device integration with an IP phone, showing how presence and OCS contact details can be leveraged on devices other than a PC. Ashima shows off some of the functionality available in Communicator Web Access - the browser based Office Communicator client - the look and functionality is almost identical to that of the desktop client.

They also show us some of the new features in the client, like one click desktop sharing and video conferencing - more cool stuff coming in R2!
