QTS Solution Spotlight:
Econium LCS Buddy Manager

Overview

Econium?s LCS Buddy Manager is a Web-based application that facilitates real-time, effective communication and collaboration by managing instant messenger (IM) groups for teams within the enterprise. Built on Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows? Messenger, LCS Buddy Manager automatically reflects workgroup contacts, changes to collaboration group memberships, and presence awareness for each member, keeping employees apprised of who is online, offline, busy, away, on the phone or out to lunch. As a result, employees can work together more effectively without the constraints of geography, office location, or time zone.

LCS Buddy Manager is easy to deploy and manage, providing enhanced security for business information and IM conversations with Active Directory? directory service user authentication, text logging, archiving, and encryption. IT administrators can quickly set up workgroup or individual buddy lists. Group account management provides synchronized enterprise-wide management of:

  • Different groups of users who might not necessarily collaborate on specific projects

  • Collaboration groups and teams

  • Updates to buddy lists (add, edit or delete users)

Individual account management facilitates help desk troubleshooting, since LCS Buddy Manager also provides users with the flexibility to manage their own buddy lists if they prefer.

Microsoft Live Communications Server

Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 provides a manageable and scalable enterprise-grade real-time communication solution. Extending from the same Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE)-based industry standard platform as Live Communications Server 2003, Live Communications Server 2005 will enable better business decisions even faster than previous versions by allowing you to share presence, instant messaging (IM), and real-time communication capabilities with partners, customers, and suppliers.
