1.1 Welcome

Welcome to Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch UC Release 5.1

Release 5.1 (R5.1) of Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch UC is the latest version of the world's leading

products for improving real-time communication across the enterprise. This suite of integrated

applications leverages your existing environment and adds capabilities to improve the efficiency and

effectiveness of the individual, the team and across your enterprise.

OmniTouch Unified Communications provides unified messaging, audio and data conferencing,

personal routing, instant messaging, sophisticated Softphone capabilities, universal directory access,

and presence information. But what’s unique about the Unified Communication suite is the ability to

integrate all or some of these functions into your existing business environment and the ability to

access the capabilities while away from the office from any device.

Telephony services is a powerful tool to easily manage your real-time communications at your office

or on the move. It offers a Web Softphone client and a full-featured 4980 Softphone Windows™ client

coupled with Microsoft Exchange/Outlook™, Lotus Domino/Notes™ and corporate Directories

home phone for audio or use your Multi-Media PC with Voice over IP (VoIP).

Messaging services provides message management and a single inbox for all message types:

email, voice, and fax through your existing rich e-mail client including Microsoft Outlook or Lotus

Notes. Further you can access your messages through a Web interface or any phone set (including

emails through text to speech) making it easy to stay connected while away from the office.
