Tandberg, the provider of Telepresence and videoconferencing solutions, has announced interoperability with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007,which will see users of Communicator 2007 connect face-to-face with other team members that use Tandberg room-based video and telepresence systems.
This enables organisations to easily interoperate existing videoconferencing systems with their Office Communications Server 2007-based unified communications platform.
Tandberg MXP endpoints can now register and authenticate directly with Office Communications Server 2007 allowing them to appear as contacts in an Office Communicator 2007 user's contact list. By simply clicking a name in their contact list, users of Office Communicator 2007 can now visually connect with any Tandberg MXP device registered directly with Office Communications Server 2007 - all with a simple software upgrade. These users can also take advantage of the single user identity inherent in Microsoft Office Communications Server.
