Lync 2010

Back to Technical FAQ
How do I use IM, audio/video conferencing with other users in the department?

We have implemented Lync Server 2010 to provide IM, audio/video conferencing and desktop sharing functionality for the CS department. The above functionality integrates into our existing active directory and Exchange infrastructure. In the future, we hope to also provide telephony services to unify communications within the department.
