[cisco-voip] Microsoft Communication server 2007 vs Unity

[Tim Smith]

Hi Frog...

There are 2 different products we are talking about here...

 OCS = sort of CallManager + presence replacement
MS Exch 2007 = sort of Unity UM replacement

Then for the voice mail side you have Exchange 2007.
Provides all the normal exchange email messaging, plus adds unified
messaging. So you can use it for voicemail as well.
As one of the other guys said. MWI requires 3rd party piece of software
currently.
So I'd say they have some work to do still, but I think it would be worth a
look where you really want Unified Messaging.

I started to install OCS to check it out, but got bored with all the AD crap
that it was reliant on.

Cheers,

Tim
