It's where service providers learn how to profitably roll out services their subscribers are clamoring for. ITEXPO is where buyers, sellers, resellers, and manufacturers meet to forge relationships and close deals.

| Free Weekly Animated Tutorial "OCS Group Chat"
OCS 2007 R2 Group Chat enables users to engage in persistent, ongoing IM conversations. Group Chat differs from Group IM in that the latter is not persistent. After a Group IM session has ended, its state is lost.
With OCS 2007 R2 Group Chat, end users can perform the following tasks:
- Create a chat room, which is a persistent topic that users can join
- Restrict chat room access to selected users
- View all chat rooms in which the user is a member
- Join a chat room
- View and read chat room messages
- Post messages to a chat room
- Post Web links to a chat room
- Receive notifications when a user is added to a chat room or contact list
- Customize the chat room display
- Log chat room content
- Review chat room logs
- Create an auditorium chat room, where only certain members can post messages
- Send and receive instant messages without creating a chat room
- Save instant messages to a text file
- Archive chat room content and IM conversations
- Choose whether to use Communicator or the chat room's client for IM conversations. This decision is important because choosing one of the clients makes IM conversations unavailable on the other client.

OCS Forum provides classroom and webseminar training as well as a non-production environment for those IT departments without additional equipment, budget or time. This allows planners and users to test ideas, dial in and dial back out, IM file transfers, remote desktop sharing, video conferencing, run scenarios, review logs, break linkages and learning about new telephony features and network access. OCS Forum is also designed for both the system integrator/consultant who wants to learn about OCSR2 without having to build their own system as well as the enterprise customer who doesn't have the time, resources or knowledge to develop one. OCS Forum Labs are designed to be "hands-on" or "over-the-shoulder" with experts available for Q&A and classes for feature-specific review.
