Today I was reading this article on www.voipplanet.com The title of the article was "Nearly a Third Will Update to Lync 2010: Survey"
This article had a bunch of different very informative information in it. It was interesting to me that 23% of people that have already deployed a VOIP solution would consinder moving to Lync 2010.
It is amazing how much interest Lync 2010 has gotten since the name change from Office Communication Server. Here is a Link to the white paper and survey.
Is your company planning on going to VOIP? Video conferencing? What are your plans to replace your existing PBX?
Have you thought about Lync 2010 and how the cloud platform my merge your Voice and Data networks?
Again I suggest going and reading this article or if you have more time go read the whole white paper. Let me know your thoughts. I would love to have your feedback on this or anything related to Lync 2010, My email is jweston@microsoft.com
Today I was reading an article by J. Peter Bruzzese at Infoworld. The title of his article: Microsoft Lync 2010:Finally, a commnications server worth the effort. Here is a link to the article http://infoworld.com/d/windows/microsoft-lync-2010-finally-communications-server-worth-the-effort-515
In this Peter talks about his first IM experience with Exchange 2000. And how it was pulled out in Exchange 2003. He also comments that in Microsoft Tradition, the third time is the charm(I have to agree, go back to Windows 3.11, it was really better than 286 or Windows 3).
It is a great article about what it takes to setup Lync, that is now in Beta. Have you downloaded the Beta of Lync 2010? Why not? When is your company planning on replacing your PBX? Come on, you know you are at some point, you want to get rid of it. Lync 2010 with E-911 and location information is the first real software solution to replace you PBX.
