<div>I think the question was about using CUPS or OCS to do Chat and presence. Why in the world would you need 3 or 4 servers for this? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have deployed both CUPS by itself and CUPS with OCS and the OCS client is MUCH better in regards to functionality. You don't have all of the user name and password issues that you are going to have in CUPS because it uses your windows login information. When you click the X in OCS it does not close the program but sends it to the system tray. You also get all of the office integration with OCS. When you get an e-mail from someone you can see in outlook their current presence status and then double click their name in the e-mail and it will call the person without them needing to be a local contact like they do with CUPS.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also the number of servers is kinda a wash. You need to use CUPS either way you go even if you are going to use the OCS client. If you use the CUPS client you must purchase meeting place express if you want desktop sharing and collaboration. If you use the OCS client you and use live meeting in OCS but you have to have another server for OCS.<br>

<p>Sorry if this is more of an AM / SE question but we are starting to look at Presense / IM / Etc and I think if I understand correctly I have two main options: CUPS and M$ Communications server.</p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>each will require a new Server (hardware)</p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>We are unique in that we have a SLA with M$ so we have no Licensing cost.</p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>from the post I've seen the M$ version is better anyway.</p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>What do you have to do two integrate the OC client with dial tone on the CM side of things? do you have to have CUPS to integrate or what?</p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>

<p>Thanks Everyone.</p></div>
