OFCCT201 - All-Up Unified Communications and Collaboration Demo

jkruse — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:37:00 GMT

At Tech.Ed Australia Ian Palangio and I did a 75 presentation that contained no PowerPoint slides. It was a complete demonstration of Unified Communications and Collaboration technologies available from Microsoft including:

Office 2007
Office Groove 2007
Office SharePoint Server 2007
Office Communicator 2007
LiveMeeting Hosted Service
Office Communications Server 2007
Exchange Server 2007 including Unified Messaging

An interesting thing is that we completely performed our demonstration live on Microsoft infrastructure - the real stuff that Ian and I (plus 100,000 others) use every day. We connected remotely into Microsoft's network and completed a complete project centric demo. Ian was connected via VPN, and I was VPN-less on a very slow network. My (very) slow network actually wasn't deliberate, it was due to infrastructure issues at the event - but it ended up showing some of the capabilities of our technologies on low-bandwidth/high-latency networks quite well.

Ian has created a Word document of what our demonstration script was, and screen shots of what was shown. For those that attended, you can follow through this content easily. For others, it is a long demonstration scenario around how a company could run an Innovation or R&D type project - in our case it was around the development of a Bluetooth integrated Bicycle Helmet.
