Communicate More Effectively

Today's global, distributed work environment has resulted in significant challenges for workers, making it harder to connect with the right people and significantly increasing the quantity and modes of communications. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator improves productivity and speeds business processes by giving you quick and easy access to a unified set of communication tools (Figure 1). For example, using the integrated directory and dynamic presence information, you can find and check the availability of colleagues and partners. The application includes enterprise instant messaging capabilities so you can communicate in real time on time-sensitive business processes and avoid 'phone tag'. The integrated voice, video, and conferencing capabilities let you place phone calls, exchange ideas 'face to face', and collaborate on documents. You can also view and listen to voice messages quickly and easily. With Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, your communication and collaboration tools are always available from anywhere you work, enabling smarter, more-effective communications.

Figure 1. Example of Cisco Unified Personal Communicator

Reduce Communication Delays with Rich Presence and Contact Information

Cisco Unified Personal Communicator lets you see the availability of co-workers and colleagues within and outside your organization. Contact availability is updated dynamically using information collected from a variety of sources by the always-on network-based presence engine. You can immediately see who is offline, available, busy, on the phone, or in the do-not-disturb state. Customized availability states, such as 'in a customer meeting' can be created to provide added context, and you can let others know how you prefer to be contacted. Contact cards provide additional contact information and multiple options for initiating communications. These capabilities help reduce communication delays and result in faster decision making and enhanced productivity.

Quickly Communicate with Borderless Enterprise-Class Instant Messaging

Instant messaging is an important communication option that lets you efficiently interact in today's multitasking business environment. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator delivers enterprise-class instant messaging capabilities that are based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) open standard and technology from the Jabber, Inc. acquisition. The solution provides personal chat, group chat, and persistent chat rooms so you can quickly connect with individuals and groups and conduct ongoing conversations. Client-side history and server-based logging capabilities allow you to view the content of prior chats and to store messages for convenience, compliance, and regulation purposes. Instant messaging is smoothly integrated with other communication capabilities so you can simply move between individual and group chats to audio and video conversations and web conferences. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator lets you securely communicate with other organizations that use Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, Cisco WebEx Connect, Microsoft Office Communicator, IBM Lotus Sametime, GoogleTalk, AOL, or any XMPP-based service. The enterprise-class instant messaging capabilities of Cisco Unified Personal Communicator provide more-efficient, secure, flexible, and borderless collaboration.

Bring Business-Class IP Telephony and Video to the Desktop

Cisco Unified Personal Communicator delivers business-quality voice and video (Figure 2). Deployed with the market-leading Cisco Unified Communications Manager call-control solution, the application includes an integrated soft phone with wideband and high-fidelity audio, standards-based high-definition video (720p), and desk phone control features. These features mean that high-quality and high-availability voice and video telephony are available at all locations and to users' desk phones, soft clients, and mobile devices. Cisco's commitment to open standards and extensive interoperability testing eliminates the worry about the devices other parties are using. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator makes voice and video communications a simple click away.

Accelerate Team Performance with Multiparty Conferencing and Collaboration

Cisco Unified Personal Communicator provides for smooth escalation to Cisco conferencing and collaboration solutions, such as Cisco WebEx and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace ® solutions, so you can instantly share documents and expand chats and conversations to multiparty voice, web, and video collaboration sessions. Because Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and Cisco conferencing solutions use standards-based voice and video technologies, the effective face-to-face collaboration with video conversations and multiparty video conferences can be extended to include participants and conferencing rooms with other standards-based video endpoints.

Accelerate Adoption with an Intuitive User Experience

Cisco Unified Personal Communicator delivers unified communications to the desktop through an engaging user interface. The intuitive visual design promotes adoption of basic as well as advanced capabilities and integrates rich communications into the natural workflow to deliver the efficiency and productivity promised by unified communications. Availability information and communication options are made available throughout the application - such as in the visual voicemail and chat interfaces - enabling more efficient real-time collaboration.

Collaborate from Common Business Applications

You can access the capabilities of Cisco Unified Personal Communicator from common desktop applications such as Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2010 (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint), including presence light-up and click-to-communicate (call and instant messaging) capabilities. For Office 2010 (refer to Figure 3), you can use the popular contact-card click-to-communicate (call or IM) icons directly from the application. These services save time and streamline workflows by allowing you to see user availability and initiate communications such as personal and group voice, video, and chat sessions without having to switch between applications.
