An integral part of the Cisco Unified Communications family of products, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator is a desktop computer application that helps enable more effective communications. By transparently integrating your most frequently used communications applications and services, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator streamlines the communication experience, helping you work smarter and faster.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Cisco Unified Personal Communicator transparently integrates a wide variety of communications applications and services, connecting you to a rich set of unified communication tools. Using dynamic presence information, you can check the availability of colleagues in real time, reducing "phone tag" and improving productivity. You can easily search existing directories to locate important contacts and initiate communications. Video and Web conferencing enable you to exchange ideas "face-to-face" and collaborate more effectively with colleagues. You also can view and hear your voice messages quickly and easily. With Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, you can connect to important communication tools virtually anywhere, anytime to enable smarter, more effective communications.
