4.6 Group Call Pickup (GCP)
GCP lets an employee take a call coming in on a colleague's phone, on their phone. If an
employee in an open space hears a colleague's phone ringing and knows that colleague is
unavailable, instead of having the call go unanswered and routed to Voice Mail, the call can
be redirected and answered by the available employee. Only employees configured in the
Skype for Business server's GCP parameter can pick up the call.
To pre-configure Microsoft's Skype for Business server for GCP capability, see:

Refer to all subsections.
4.7 Location
This feature enables the called party to identify the geographical location of the calling party.
For example, if a caller in the U.S. makes an emergency call to E911, the feature extracts
the caller's information for the police department to immediately identify the caller's location.
