Lync 1 Click to phone call, Address Book Presence Instant Messaging Voice Mail on Exchange On your computer 15

How can you use it? 16

Presence Check status and call If somebody is busy - tag him for the status change 17

How it works – demo 18

Forward my calls I’m on holidays but phone calls should be answered –Use Lync to forward to CERN numbers 19

Delegation Somebody else should receive calls? Somebody else can make a call using your number? Supported: –Windows client –Delegation to Lync users (not traditional phones) 20

Team work Your “group” receive the call –Define your group (Lync users on Unified Communication) –Set up “Simultaneous ringing” 21

Voice mail on Exchange I didn’t answer a call to me –You missed a call – you will see it in your mail client –Somebody really wants to call you Voice message is left You can see/hear it in your Inbox 22

Voice mail on Exchange 23

Devices You can use any device for audio output/input We advise: –Windows: Polycom CX 300. Available in CERN Store catalogue –Mac: Plantronics DSP 655 Available in CERN Store catalogue 26

Mobile client – “beta version” Lync mobile client: –iPhone –Android –Windows Phone Manage your “Forward settings” Presence Instant Messaging Calls (no VoIP) Be careful on Roaming (data transfer!) 27

Unified messaging on Exchange Lync users: –Voic on Exchange 2010 –Enabled by default Traditional phone users: –Voic on Exchange 2010 –Activation on demand Settings configuration: –Outlook –Webmail (OWA) –Call the number: ( )

Proposal: two pilot projects in IT Voice communication on Lync –Pilot project within IT department –People owning a phone number can join (Win,MAC) –Help pages and subscription process on mmm.cern.ch –CERN pays for all calls - private calls via 111 or mobile Unified messaging (traditional phones) –Pilot project within IT department –People owning a phone number can join –Help pages and subscription process on mmm.cern.ch 29

Pilot objective Objective: –Verify the reliability of the system –Test the solution in real scenarios Expected results –Performance behavior on a large scale installation –Experience on operation and maintenance –Building an organizational knowledge database –Preparing a CERN-wide deployment Pilot environment: –6 months duration 30

If you would like to join Subscribe now! - The pilot will start after Easter It’s simple – check mmm.cern.ch Check help pages and FAQ –Verify requirements –Known issues Don’t throw away your standard phone Contact service-desk in case of problems Give us feedback! 31

Why to subscribe ASAP? Easy way to make phone calls Presence Instant messaging Voice mail on your client Mobility – no roaming charges (WIFI) And moreover –Missed call/voice mail notifications –Easy access to call management We have 10 Polycom CX300 to give away (FIFO) 32
