My office uses Office Communicator and OCS2007r2 to communicate across the enterprise. I recently got the Droid and love it. The only thing I miss from my WinMo days is an Office Communicator mobile app. Does anyone know if there is an app that will allow me to connect to my OCS installation?
Just checking to see if anything has developed over the last several months. All my iPhone co-workers get an OCS client but I still haven't found anything for Android.
I understand that this post may be a little late in the game for some users, but I work for a company called WidgetMedia. We are currently about a week or so away from releasing our very own OCS client for the Google Android platform called AndrOCS.
You can visit our site at Widget Media - Home if your interested, I will also continue to post progress on this board.

Sorry for the late reply we have been working really hard on this and have some good news. Widget Media - News This post will tell you about the beginning of the beta testing process.
I have it installed, but it does not appear to like the details I use to login the desktop client. Click on login and the button goes grey and then comes back to highlighted again.
Any views?
On the Windows Mobile client I have to put :443 on the end of the url (with no https) and set the authentication method to TLS. That then works fine. On the Android one I assume it is just https:// and then the url?

Hi 400ixl, if your company's wca requires a client-cert, that doesn't work right now. I have to read up on how to set that up and enable it (if I have to do that specifically) in the app.
x = my office communicator "external" server address
y = ip address of the external server address
I noticed that my regular communicator uses "TLS" how is that feature enabled on your app? Also, what features do I need enabled, i.e. unsecured ssl,
Authentication is it: Forms or Integrated?
I just sent an email about this, but I think it'd be great to have the option to show whether i am mobile or not. I use my IM with my clients for my job, and when they see me on their contacts list it shows my status as "Available - Mobile." Is there a way to remove that??
Recently I found the trial version of amoc which is released in android market. Just type the keyword "amoc" to search for the software. I feel pretty good after using it. I can't wait for the full version.
I tried Office Talk and AndrOCS yesterday, here are my thoughts :P
They both seem to work pretty well but have different looks.
AndrOCS has a nice UI, with separate tabs for Contact List and open IM's, which is nice, but as far as I can tell it doesn't pull your contact groups in, just gives you one big list, which isn’t great if you have a lot of contacts.
Office Talk isn't as pretty, but it seems to work fine, and lets you select your groups to filter your contacts list down to a manageable size. Also, when you sign out, this one runs as a Service and not just an app, so when you sign out it still lives in the Notification Bar (it just changes to Offline), which I don't really like.
Didn't try aMOC, the screenshots are pretty but I'm not sure if I can trust that they aren't going to send my company login credentials to someplace in china. :P

aMOC is developed by telecommunication Laboratories Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) , Taiwan.
We don't gather any user credentials. Make yourself easy

I've run into an odd error... Even though my login information is correct, it keeps telling me to check my login and password and won't let me log in... We are using OC R2 at work.

Office Talk = Incompatible Server (I think this may have something to do with TLS vs TCP)
As mentioned in the app description - if there's a prob then do a login attempt and then use Menu|Feedback to send feedback. It's probably the wrong server you're trying to talk to (with https:// btw you're using TLS). Very few corps actually require a client certificate (which is also supported though if provided).
Office Communicator?
