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.
