Microsoft Lync

Cloud-based Lync Server for Presence, Messaging, and Conferencing

Microsoft Lync represents the future of real-time business communication, and it is here today.  Our hosted Lync services give your company a private messaging platform that allows for real-time text messaging, voice and video conferencing, and desktop and application sharing, for both your internal staff and your customers.

We can also integrate Lync with Exchange and IP Telephony services to provide a complete communications platform that looks and feels like the future, but works in the present.  Crystal can also provide you the relatively inexpensive hardware—microphones, speakers, wireless headsets, webcams—that make this solution sing.

Advantages

• Fully Integrated Communications
  Integrates with Exchange Server, the public telephone network, and public messaging (Microsoft Messenger)
• Voice/Video Conferencing
  Communicate via IP both internally and externally.  A free customer portal is included for scheduled video conferences, allowing Lync to replace your WebEx, GotoMeeting, or similar conferencing solution. 
• Faster Access to Co-Workers
  Real-time presence means you can see who is available to talk and who is not in a meaningful and accurate way.
• Meeting Escalation
  Starting with a simple text chat, you can easily launch a voice call, video conference, or application sharing as your situation demands.  You can also easily conference in other people in real-time when you need to bring more resources to the conversation.
• Reduce Costs
  Communicate with remote workers, customers, or vendors without travel costs or long distance charges.
