Windows 7 Choosing the right communication modalit

A few weeks ago, I posted about the new contact card in Outlook 2010 and how useful it is when you want to find out more about someone in your organization. Perhaps even more useful is the way that the contact card enables you to contact people quickly from Outlook.In order to use these features your organization must be using an instant messaging client that integrates with Outlook using the Microsoft Office 2010 Presence Integration API.You may remember Jed from my first contact card post. After helping Jed with some design research,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, we worked together on a few new prototypes for his project. Earlier today Jed sent me the final prototypes that he was sharing with his team&rsquo;s management at a design meeting. I looked at the designs and found a few serious issues I wanted to correct before Jed&rsquo;s presentation. However,Office 2007 Download, his meeting was less than an hour away,Windows 7! Because of the short amount of time to make changes I decided it would be best to use IM to tell Jed. I saw his name at the top of the email message and noticed his status was green,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, indicating he was available. Hovering over Jed&rsquo;s name opened the contact hover card. I clicked the chat icon to start an IM chat.After a minute or so I hadn&rsquo;t received a response, which means Jed probably wasn&rsquo;t looking at his computer screen. Going back to the email I hovered on his name again and this time chose to call him using Office Communicator which uses the speakers and microphone on my computer. Jed answered and I was able to share the problems that I had caught in the designs so he could incorporate changes before presenting the prototype to his group&rsquo;s managers.In today&rsquo;s workplace we often need to move seamlessly between communication modalities like email, IM,Windows 7 Download, and phone. When you combine the Outlook 2010 Inbox with the power of an IM and voice client that uses our presence APIs for seamless integration you can always choose the right way to communicate. The next time an email conversation drags on over an endless argument try switching to a real-time communication. With Office Communicator you can have a video call or share your screen so other people see what you see. <div
