Microsoft plans to add voice over Internet protocol, collaboration and Web presence enhancements to the next version of its unified communications software, which is due out in early February 2009. Microsoft on Tuesday revealed details of Office Communications Server 2007 Release 2, which customers should be able to download on Feb. 3, 2009, at the VoiceCon show in Amsterdam. The software is currently in private beta testing. Released just last year, OCS 2007 is the first software from Microsoft for making VoIP a part of integrated communications services alongside corporate instant messaging, e-mail, and videoconferencing, all running on one IP network.
