Isn’t there already federation capability between Jabber and Skype for Business?

I didn't see anything in the announcement about CUCM period. I thought it was really the ability to join each other's meetings from each other's room-based video systems. Issues such as federation, etc. don't seem to be addressed in the announcement.

It will be interesting to see how much CUCM integration there is. From what I gather, it's going to be Webex room kits that are cloud registered that will have access. But, who knows, could be more!

Microsoft is trying to build out their cloud PBX product, but it's nowhere near enterprise. My suspicion is that some big Microsoft O365 customers with complicated CUCM environments wanted to connect it to MS Teams, and Cisco didn't want people to rip out Webex room systems for MS Teams Room systems.

Personally I'm quite happy since we fall into the first category, we're heavily into the Microsoft ecosystem but have CUCM, and were looking at ripping it out so we could get Teams integration, but concluded that Teams Phones and Cloud PBX wasn't mature enough for us (yet).
