RTM’d today: Programming for Unified Communications

jkruse — Fri, 01 May 2009 02:41:00 GMT

Unified Communications is about much more than what you get out-of-the-box – it is a platform that you can use to build, extend and enhance your own applications & business processes. Looking at UC as a platform is about more than cost-savings, it's about competitive advantage.

As a software & platform company this is one Microsoft’s key strengths versus our UC competitors who still think very much inside-the-box – in fact this is why Gartner has had Microsoft as the leader in its UC Magic Quadrant for the last few years.

Microsoft Press have just RTMed a new book titled Programming for Unified Communications that explains how to use OCS R2 as a development platform, and to fully realise the benefits of UC.
