What is GIMS ?
GIMS is for Group Instant Messaging Service.
This service is available for every employee connecting from the Capgemini intranet or from the internet.
That’s a collaborative work tool which improves efficiency regarding communication between people and teams.
Instant messaging
Communicate with your colleagues in real time using chat, voice (you need an headset with microphone) or video (you need a webcam).
Availability status
Select a specific status according to your availability for your contacts.
Contacts filtering
Add, remove people in your list of contacts, choose to accept or reject a contact request…
Presence information
Be aware in real time of your colleague’s availability through Office Communicator or Office Outlook, so that you don’t loose time to try to contact them.
Remote access
The service is reachable from the internet thanks to an Access Proxy server and a secure transport protocol. Useful for mobile Capgemini employees.
Noen som har testet GIMS?
Har nå snakket med tre andre i prosjektet på GIMS. Fungerer like bra som MNS, men hvorfor da bruke GIMS?
Største fordelen jeg tenker på med en gang er at man da kun legger inn kollegaer og dermed får litt mindre “støy” i løpet av en dag. I tillegg åpner det for litt lettere komunikasjon på tvers av landegrensene. Vi drukner jo i mail om dagen, så GIMS er et godt alternativ!
