Cost Savings and Increased Productivity Live Communications Server provides both instant messaging and presence awareness, a critical enterprise capability allowing users to discover if others are available to collaborate, communicate and share information.

This means information can flow rapidly and efficiently, reducing costs and enabling better, faster decision-making.
Integration with Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 While Live Communications Server 2005 supports Microsoft Windows Messenger 5.1 for basic presence and IM scenarios, SP1 provides incredible benefits when combined with the new Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 client, scheduled for availability in the second quarter of 2005.
Integration with the Microsoft Office System and Windows Server System Microsoft works to ensure that customers can extend current infrastructure investments, yet have the opportunity to incorporate new technologies into existing computing environments. Live Communications Server 2005 is part of the Windows Server System, and adheres to the common engineering criteria described in this Windows Server overview: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/overview/commoncriteria.mspx.
Integrating presence with the Microsoft Office System is unique to Live Communications Server. Rather than forcing people to break concentration in order to get the information they need to complete their work, Live Communications Server provides in context communication to keep your team on task and increase their productivity. Workers may instantly find and communicate with people from within familiar programs such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. This integration occurs wherever the user sees a ‘pawn,’ the icon representing a person’s presence status.
Enterprise Grade Solution IT managers appreciate the numerous Live Communications Server 2005 improvements in administration, security, scalability and reliability. It fits smoothly into an existing Microsoft infrastructure as part of the Windows Server System and the Microsoft Office System. By directly lowering the costs of managing a real time communications infrastructure, Live Communications Server makes it easier to deliver cutting edge communication services to all end users.
