Episode #23 - Unified Communications – simplify administration by bringing everything together.
In this episode I talk with Greg Patchev (IT Manager from Gerrie Electric) and Andy Papadopoulos (president of Legendcorp) on how they came about deploying a Microsoft based Unified Communications solution to replace an end of life PBX system for 17 offices. At first they were only looking for a collaboration / presence solution, but they soon discovered that Office Communication Server 2007 met most of their needs without having to introduce more complexity to their IT environment by going with one of the typical VoIP PBX vendor solutions. Now that they are fully deployed, they are already positioning themselves to take advantage of Office Communications Server 2007 R2 due out later this year.
