HCL Sametime key features

  • Instant messaging, collaboration and online presence

    Connect with the people behind the information in your social business environment.

    Take advantage of high-definition VoIP audio and video, softphone with PSTN-dialing support and iOS, Android and BlackBerry support. Experience a rich presence with custom status and geographical location. Integrate with HCL Connections™ Files and Profiles and enable server-side recordings, device-to-desktop remote control, device-side annotations, push-notifications support and calendar integration with HCL Notes® and Microsoft Outlook.

  • Online meetings

Incorporate audio and video conferencing so you can experience verbal and non-verbal communication. You can access online meetings from your desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone. You can also open persistent meeting rooms for initiating a higher level of communication.

  • A simple user experience and flexible platform

    Bring social communications into your processes with a unified user experience and integration. Integration is provided for IBM WebSphere® Portal, HCL Notes®, HCL Connections, Microsoft Office (64-bit), Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft SharePoint. Work with existing data and telephony networks. Connect to multiple operating systems, email and audio/video systems. A development kit provides open standards-based tools to embed HCL Sametime capabilities in business applications.

  • Direct registration softphone

    Never miss calls with a direct registration softphone to connect to your existing or new IP-based telephony services. Operate in survivable mode so users may continue to place and receive calls when they are unable to log in to their Sametime server. They only need an active internet connection. Choose your telephony to potentially lower telephony costs using Cloud PBX service such as GENBAND’s Nuvia PBX Cloud or other providers.

  • Smart meetings with audio and video conferences

    Chat, meet, voice, video or all. Enjoy an efficient and focused meeting as if you are having it in person. Enhanced annotations are included with the web and mobile meetings clients. Security rule options help you share confidential data without worrying about leaks. Includes native Sametime Web Player browser plug-in (no Java dependency) for audio and video and screen sharing in Meetings on Microsoft Windows workstations.
