LCS and Public IM Networks |
|
|
I'm trying to clarify my understanding of what LCS does with public IM
networks.
Does LCS do the following?
1. Provide an private company IM network.
2. Use the Windows domain account as the screen name for the company IM
network.
3. Provide a gateway to MSN, AOL and Yahoo! public IM networks.
4. Screen name on MSN, AOL and Yahoo! public IM networks appears as the
users email address (i.e. user@company.com)
5. Ensure that the user cannot access the public IM network directly (i.e.
from home) and appear as user@company.com on MSN, AOL or Yahoo! public
networks. All IM traffic MUST go through the LCS server.
6. Allow users at home to connect to the LCS directly over the Internet to
access the public IM networks with a company identity (assuming the LCS is
Internet accessible).
Can ANYONE tell me the costs (I'll even accept estimates) of enabling 100
LCS users access to MSN, AOL and Yahoo public IM networks? I'm having a
really difficult time getting a quote on this component. |
