WebMessenger, an award-winning leader in enterprise mobile
communications, today announced that its WebMessenger Mobileâ„¢ for Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) solution now supports
Nokia smartphones leveraging the S60 mobile platform from Symbian.

stimulating previously unattainable collaboration worldwide and
throughout Europe, where Nokia S60 devices are a leader in the
enterprise market. WebMessenger Mobile for Microsoft OCS on Nokia S60
devices will be on-display this week at the S60 Summit in Barcelona
Spain, in the Nokia booth. "The European business market is in need of
mobile unified communications solutions," said
Mark Blowers, Enterprise Architectures Practice Director for Butler
Group. "Nokia S60 smartphones have achieved
excellent penetration in the region. With the adoption of Microsoft OCS
in Europe also increasing, there is the potential for European
businesses to enhance productivity among the growing distributed mobile
workforce. " Microsoft OCS manages all real-time (synchronous) communications
including instant messaging, VoIP, audio and video conferencing.
Microsoft OCS also powers presence, a key benefit of Microsoft unified
communications that unites all the contact information stored in Active
Directory with the ways people communicate. WebMessenger Mobile for
Microsoft OCS extends similar functionality to Nokia S60 devices
enabling mobile professionals to achieve the same collaboration and
productivity opportunities in the field that they experience in the
office. Additional benefits include reduced operational expenses and
increased workplace appeal for tech-savvy, younger recruits.
