Microsoft's introduction Nov. 30 of its new United Communications Developer Portal is the next step in fulfilling Chairman Bill Gates' promise in October that the software giant was readying a major push into the unified communications space.
At the Oct. 15 event, Microsoft launched unified communications and VOIP software, including Microsoft OCS 2007, which delivers VOIP, video, instant messaging, conferencing and presence within applications such as Microsoft Office system applications and upcoming versions of Microsoft Dynamics ERP products; Microsoft Office Communicator 2007, which is client software for phone, instant messaging and video communications; and Microsoft Office Live Meeting, the next version of Microsoft's advanced conferencing service.
