The Office Communications Server 2007 R2 XMPP Gateway (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) enables IM and presence communication between Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and select XMPP-based IM and presence providers, including Google Talk and Jabber. Once the gateway is deployed in an Office Communications Server environment, users hosted on Office Communications Server can do the following:
- Add or delete users on an XMPP environment as contacts
- Communicate with users on XMPP environment through one-on-one IM conversations.
This enables corporate deployments of OCS2007R2 to extend their communications reach beyond the boundaries of even MSN, Yahoo, or AOL which already exists today, while also logging IM communications between individuals (for either security or regulatory/audit purposes) and maintaining centralized control over who has what communications access to the Internet.
This continues Office Communications Server’s & Office Communicator’s tradition of being the most interoperable real-time corporate communications infrastructure for enterprises.
