Special thanks to Brad Place at Pinnacle Financial for taking time out of his day to answer a few questions. The feedback from the group was great.

The event was an overview of Unified Communications and Unified Messaging. We had discussion and demonstration of the hardware including the Microsoft Roundtable.

Lastly, I mentioned the link to the Communication section of the Business Productivity Infrastructure Optimization (BPIO). I will be making a blog post in the near future on the IO models specifically.
