We were using instant messaging for a long time to alert the engineers during the day, on the specific servers they were responsible for. With the problems encountered with IMing, that hasn't remained feasible. We are moving to Lync in the future, but no idea when.
If there was a way that an engineer could run an agent/service to connect to the SA instance and only pick/choose what he/she wanted to see on his screen, that would be a huge help to us. Right now, the alerts are setup and this works, and has always worked. But - if each engineer could have a little agent that polls the server for "their" items and notate it on their screen with a sound, pop-up, color change of icon or something, that would be tremendous and IMing wouldn't be necessary.

Not a huge fan of most MS enterprise products but Lync has been very good.
