Live Communications Server
Live Communications Server is much more than an Instant
Messaging (IM) application; it is a multimedia platform that
delivers text, voice, video and whiteboard communications combined
with application sharing. Live Communications Server offers
advanced functionality for organisations looking to improve
collaboration between colleagues in different locations or time
zones.
