For optimal efficiency, My Instant Communicator offers Universal Directory Access through integration with standard corporate directory applications such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Active Directory. This allows users to organize colleagues by name, by number or by skill, for example.

When a contact is selected, all the communications options for that person are displayed (e-mail, voice mail, voice call, video call, IM, add to buddy list, and so on) and contact can be initiated with the click of a button. End users are connected with the right person using the most appropriate method of communications. Gone are the days of trial and error contact attempts.
