Mobile-clients voor Microsoft Lync

Steeds meer mensen gebruiken hun mobiele telefoon als enige telefoon. Mobile-clients voor Microsoft® Lync™ 2010 brengen alle voordelen van Unified Communications naar uw mobiele telefoon, inclusief rijke beschikbaarheidsinformatie, audioconferencing en toegang tot meerdere communicatiemethoden, en dit alles via één gebruiksvriendelijke interface.

De belangrijkste functionaliteit op een rijtje:

  • Bekijk de beschikbaarheid van collega’s in realtime en selecteer de beste manier om met hen te communiceren: via een expresbericht, een e-mailbericht of een telefoongesprek.
  • Maak direct verbinding met telefonische vergaderingen in Lync. U hoeft geen lange numerieke wachtwoordcodes of vergaderingsnummers meer in te voeren.
  • Start en ontvang gesprekken met alleen uw Enterprise Voice-nummer (Lync-id). Hierdoor kunt u via één consistente identiteit met anderen communiceren.
  • Lync 2010 voor Windows Phone biedt TLS (Transport Layer Security) en beveiliging van het perimeternetwerk en interne netwerk zonder dat er VPN nodig is. De communicatie is dus veilig, waar u ook bent of welk netwerk u ook gebruikt.

Metro Style Lync – codelync

codelync metro style lyncBeing CodeLync, I’m going to focus on building a Lync application on this Windows 8 tablet. It’s pretty clear that one of the main focuses of the Build conference is going to be Metro style applications, so I’m going to attempt to build a Metro style UI to replace an aspect of the standard Lync client.

Metro style applications are the face of Microsoft’s drive into the Tablet market. Metro style apps have a very clean design, and are optimised for touch. My endgame is a Metro style application that provides a small piece of Lync functionality. Hopefully something useful. Microsoft have been kind enough to provide us with a preview edition of Visual Studio 11, so all being well, the tablet will actually function as a usable development machine.

Sanoma effectiever communiceren – Startready

sanoma implementatieMet ruim 85 publiekstijdschriften en zo‟n 200 websites is Sanoma Uitgevers BV de grootste multimediale uitgever van Nederland. Tot de tijdschriften behoren onder meer AutoWeek, Cosmopolitan, Donald Duck, Linda en Margriet. In 2008 realiseerden Sanoma Uitgevers en haar dochters en deelnemingen een omzet van 515,7 miljoen euro. In de hoofdvestiging in Hoofddorp werken circa 1.000 medewerkers op redacties en ondersteunende afdelingen.

Zoals in zoveel organisaties, wordt ook bij Sanoma steeds mobieler gewerkt. Mensen zijn niet altijd achter hun bureau te vinden, maar werken thuis of onderweg. Even bij een collega binnenlopen lukt dus niet altijd, ook al omdat het aantal internationale projecten de laatste tijd flink toeneemt. Ook met traditionele communicatiemiddelen zoals telefoon en e-mail is snel communiceren moeilijk, wegens het ontbreken van ‘presence-indicatie‟: het kunnen zien of iemand aanwezig en beschikbaar is.

“Aangezien onze DMZ fysiek op een andere locatie draait, wilden we de Lync Edge Server niet op dezelfde hardware laten draaien. Hiervoor werd een tweede appliance geplaatst, die gekoppeld werd aan het internet. StartReady heeft deze tweede appliance probleemloos aan de eerste gekoppeld.”
