At Siemens we understand just how frustrating it can be when business grinds to a halt just because someone is in a meeting, out of the office or unable to take a call. HiPath OpenOffice is part of our award-winning portfolio of Open Communications solutions. Through seamless integration, it makes the frustrating physical and technological barriers to efficient communication a thing of the past.
Here are just a few examples of what HiPath OpenOffice can do for you on a typical working day:
09.05am: You need to speak with someone right away but they're already on the phone. With HiPath OpenOffice you can check their presence status and send them an Instant Message.
10.30am: An offsite meeting overran and you'll be late getting back to the office. Update your presence status from your mobile phone instead of relying on a colleague to send a message. Your voicemail greeting will change dynamically too, depending on your presence status.
12.22pm: An important customer is on the phone and wants a conference call NOW. With HiPath OpenOffice you can see who's available instantly. Drag and drop available team members into your application to call them at once. If someone is already on another call, send an Instant Message and ask them to join in as soon as they can.
13.20pm: At lunch you're reviewing a document in an application on your laptop and need to call a contact number listed in the file. HiPath OpenOffice lets you click and dial to call them directly from your laptop.
14.59pm: You're on a critical call and have to divide your attention between listening, speaking and furiously writing notes, HiPath OpenOffice lets you record the conversation for a detailed meeting report or to review later. Simple.
17.23pm: You've been in meetings all day, returning and answering phone calls in between, but you can't remember who you've called back and who's called you. HiPath OpenOffice lets you prioritise and view messages in your call journal without having to listen to each one.
18.15pm: You switch between email, voicemail systems and the fax machine. Integrate them seamlessly into one application with a Microsoft OutlookTM plug-in.

So here's the bottom line
HiPath OpenOffice from Siemens puts an end to inefficient and inadequate communications. It enables you to achieve new levels of productivity by freeing up bottlenecks, reducing wasted time and speeding up decision making. So you can increase customer and employee satisfaction and improve revenue opportunities - all at a reduced operational cost. Wow!
HiPath OpenOffice is big on the features that we know your enterprise needs
HiPath OpenOffice has been specifically designed to meet the needs of small and medium enterprises with features that make managing diverse communications simple and cost effective.
Presence
Lets everyone set their availability so you'll know if someone is in a meeting, on a phone call, when they'll become available and the best way to contact them. If you're out of the office you can even update your availability via your phone.
Conference Management
HiPath OpenOffice makes it easy to set up conference calls using the 'Conference Management' feature. Schedule your conference calls, create a dial-in or ad-hoc call on the fly by simply dragging and dropping participants from your directory. Remember, there are no conference call charges. It's all handled through HiPath OpenOffice, so costs are reduced and productivity is improved because everyone can get together to make the decisions required to move forward.
Microsoft Outlook™ Plug-in
Because HiPath OpenOffice integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook™, everyone can access all their communications via a single screen. Email, voicemail, fax and instant messages can be viewed, managed and answered from the application they're most familiar with - the Outlook screen they use everyday. What's more, presence status and voicemail greetings will change dynamically based on events in the Outlook™ calendar, so callers will always get the latest information about staff availability. There's no need to switch between systems or screens, so its not surprising that productivity is increased. Or that the office suddenly seems more chilled out.
