The Live Business Gateway provides telephony enablement to Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005. As part of the Mitel Applications and Services Gateway family allowing enterprises to implement IP based solutions through a smooth, intelligent evolution, the Live Business Gateway integrates the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server and Mitel applications to provide access to key business resources in the moment they are needed, resulting in faster decision making and issue resolution.
Telephony Enablement and Multi-Party Conferencing
Microsoft Office Communicator users can use the call feature to initiate
calls from their Mitel desk phone to any other internal or external
telephone number. Users also have the ability to set up an ad-hoc eight-party
audio conference call, via the internal conference bridge within the
Applications and Services Gateway. Participants are simply added from
Office Communicator.
Presence and Availability
Office Communicator users are able to see an indication of the status
of other users on the network, including their telephony status. If
a colleague is busy on a call, they can be "tagged," meaning
that when the call is completed, a notification is provided to indicate
their availability.
Extension of Mitel Applications
The Live Business Gateway extends Mitel's rich telephony applications
suite to the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server users leveraging
presence and availability from the Office Communicator interface.
Integration with Microsoft Outlook and Office Suite
Missed calls are flagged in the user's Microsoft Outlook inbox.
A user’s status can be seen within Outlook or the Microsoft Office
suite. Calls can be established directly from these applications via a
mouse click.
Through the provision of advanced Mitel telephony applications to the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server, the Mitel / Microsoft partnership enables better access to information and people, simply and easily, right from the desktop.
