Microsoft starts talking up UC tools strategy
MCP Magazine | at | by Mike
Microsoft has talked a ton about why Unified Communications -- the melding of telephony, e-mail, and perhaps most importantly, "presence" -- can be a big value to users.
Now it's starting to get down to brass tacks around tool deliverables, building a developer portal on MSDN and an API roadmap.
The centerpiece of this whole UC effort is Office Communications Server. New tooling deliverables include such downloadable goodies as a Communications Server 2007 SDK, Speech Server documentation, Live Meeting 2007 API Reference Guide, Unified Communications AJAX SDK and more.
