Has Unified Communications Finally Arrived?
Gold Systems CEO Terry Gold speaks with Mitchell Ashley of Network World about the long-expected arrival of unified communications technology, which is now enabling companies of all sizes save money and improve communications and business processes. The conversation is available in Network World’s Converging On Microsoft podcast.
Unified communications has been a long time coming, but some feel we’re finally ready to ditch the PBX in favor of a full software solution using Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007.
During the discussion, Terry talks about what’s in OCS 2007 R2 that finally makes it possible to replace the enterprise PBX with OCS. Terry also talks about key capabilities like presence in OCS and the Office Communicator client which integrates with Exchange calendar information. Mitchell asserts that if you are involved in unified communications or in the process of evaluating Office Communications Server, you’ll get a lot of value from their conversation.
