Esnatech has added Location centric Presence to MS live messenger and Skype with its new Presence manager Utility. For its leading Telephony Office-LinX unified communication platform version 7.5. As part of its ongoing goal for interoperability and to offer the richest presence and collaboration integrations in the market, Esnatechs new Presence Utility delivers its Location Centric Communication technology to third party presence applications such as Microsoft Live communication server and now MS Live messenger and the Skype desktop VoIP application. Users can call into the Telephony Office-LinX Unified communication serve and change their status, availability and location over the telephone and automatically the new Presence Utility will propagate these status and presence information to the users other IM clients at the same time.
Location centric communications goes beyond rich presence, it allows users to define locations and different work environments they me be throughout the course of the day and or week. Within a location users can set presence elements such as Online, available, Phone status, and availability filters to improve their overall productivity.
