  Siemens-Microsoft add IM touch to voice networks
Time: 15:58 EST/20:58 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

German tech and engineering group Siemens said on Wednesday it had developed instant messaging-like technology for modern corporate voice networks with U.S. software group Microsoft. The launch in London is part of a drive to sell applications for the increasingly popular ``voice over Internet protocol,'' which Siemens executives said had so far been adopted largely to save on phone bills but not to improve communications.

Siemens said its OpenScape software could, for example, show callers the names of colleagues or clients next to icons that indicate whether they are away from their desk, out to lunch or busy, along with their preferred method of alternative contact, whether it be mobile phone, text message or e-mail.
