Lync Enterprise Voice in Law Firms: Replacing the Traditional Phone System
Lunch Sponsor: Kraft & Kennedy, Inc.
Description:
Microsoft Lync 2013 is the seventh version of Microsoft's unified communications platform, and the third version of the platform to include Enterprise Voice features. As the platform matures, Lync has become a serious contender as a traditional phone system replacement.
Join us as we discuss the current state of telephony in law firms and how Lync can address the unique needs and challenges often found in law firms. We will explore how Lync can integrate with, augment and/or replace an existing phone system, and showcase a variety of phones, headsets and other devices to demonstrate the user experience in an environment leveraging Lync as a phone system enhancement or replacement. Finally, we will discuss how Lync can help a law firm move from their current isolated telephony system to a modern unified communications solution including instant messaging, presence, video conferencing, screen sharing, document collaboration and Enterprise Voice functionality, as well as how to deal with changing the most visible and historically used pieces of technology on an attorney's desk.
