Mitel Live Business Gateway

The Mitel Live Business Gateway partnership with Microsoft enables better access to information and people, simply and easily, right from the desktop.

Mitel® Live Business Gateway (LBG) enables enterprises to implement IP-based solutions through a smooth, intelligent evolution. Working in conjunction with Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft Lync™ 2010 Server, a SIP-based presence and collaboration server, LBG delivers advanced applications for global communication and collaboration.

Mitel Live Business Gateway provides telephony enablement to Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Lync by integrating the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Lync Server with Mitel applications to enable access to key business resources on demand, resulting in faster decision making and issue resolution.

Product Key Features

• Telephony Enablement – Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 or Lync users can initiate calls from their Mitel desk phone to any other internal or external number. Users are notified of incoming calls and can choose how to answer them.
• Presence and Availability – Users can see the status of co-workers, including telephony status. Leveraging presence and availability from the Communicator 2007 R2 or Lync interface, users can receive notifications when co-workers become available.
• Integration with Microsoft Outlook® and Office Suite – Missed calls are flagged in the user's inbox. They can see a co-worker’s status within Outlook or Microsoft Office suite, and calls from these applications are a click away.
• VMware® vSphere™ and Microsoft Hyper-V Qualified – Live Business Gateway release 3.4 is qualified for use in a vSphere or Hyper-V environment, enabling businesses to take advantage of the wide range of benefits that are available when deploying applications into a vSphere or Hyper-V environment.
