And RADVISION’s new IMfirst solution brings multi-party and multi-device functionality to this architecture - further expanding Windows Messenger to make it the ideal tool for enterprise multimedia communications.” Overview of Session: In the first half of the seminar Marc Sanders, sr. product manager for Microsoft Office Live Communications Server, will provide an overview on the evolution of communications and the power of Microsoft’s new enterprise-IM, presence and real-time communications platform. With the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server, enterprises can implement a seamless architecture for point-to-point desktop, voice, video or data conferencing between Windows Messenger end points.
