Microsoft finds its 'voice'
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Redmond has made its new enterprise voice communications server available to 2,500 companies under a private beta program.
The product, which will be known as Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, brings with it the ability for companies to integrate voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) technology into their existing telephony infrastructure, Chris Cullin, director of product management in Microsoft's Unified Communications Group, told me.
This sever is also the successor to Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005, and forms part of Microsoft's unified communications portfolio.
Earlier this year Microsoft announced its unified communications vision and roadmap going forward, where executives talked about introducing voice technologies to its current lineup, developing new products and expanding the unified communications features its current products provide.
