Remember, every hole you open in your network puts you that much closer to risk.
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 ??? Chapter 4 129
?– User experience We can control the use of emoticons, disable several presence
features, and prevent the saving of IMs. But be prudent when considering use of
this feature. In an organization of 1,500 employees, saving IMs in archives can be
resource-intensive and may require the services of two or three extra admins, which
in today??™s business climate can be considered a luxury that is not easily afforded.
?– Bandwidth usage We can confi gure SIP compression and control data as well as
audio conferencing and videoconferencing. This could be useful for smaller offi ces,
where Internet access may be less affordable, or in offi ces with many users where
bandwidth is being sucked dry because employees are holding videoconferences to
decide what to do about lunch.
?– Application integration MOC allows integration with Outlook 2007 and One
Note (there is limited support for integration with earlier versions of Outlook, such
as Outlook 2003). Features such as enabling or disabling automatic archiving of IMs
or calls to Outlook can be useful. Again, you need to determine what works for
your organization.

contact lists.
