With a quick IM session right from an Apple iPhone or
Android smartphone to confirm availability, the service
manager can quickly call the customer back to confirm the
appointment for later that morning.

accessibility. They can click-to-call, IM, see the presence of colleagues, access corporate directories, control
conference calls, and more, right in the desktop applications they already use, like Microsoft Outlook or Lync, and web browsers.
