Set up a voice conference with your colleagues wherever they are, right from your desktop and instantaneously, and drastically reduce your conferencing costs.

Presence awareness – or the ability to see if other collaborators are online and available – has moved beyond person-to-person chat and will power future enterprise collaboration applications.

For the enterprise market, Indigo Software has developed the Indigo InstantConferencing Server™, a solution that combines presence information with enterprise-wide instant messaging and voice conferencing. The result is an enterprise voice conferencing server that provides cost-effective conferencing in a package that is easy-to-deploy, use and administer.

Employees can set up conferences from their desktop – ad hoc or prescheduled - and can participate from their PC or mobile phone. Setting up a conference call with the Indigo InstantConferencing Server™ is just a few mouse clicks away, thus stimulating employees to collaborate more intensively. Above all, this in-house, IP-based conferencing solution allows enterprises to save drastically on their conferencing costs.

The application uses employees’ presence status information. It is Indigo’s view that the use of presence information for Instant Messaging and IP Conferencing is just a beginning: presence status information will soon be reused by other enterprise applications. For a company to control its own repository of presence information in an open, standards-based way is therefore essential.
