<div>It is definately something I've been kicking around for some time. I just haven't yet pulled the trigger.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have Exchange 2k7 UM installed at one of my School Districts and they love it (but they also have never had unity). The have a great voice portal which they love. they have true UM. Negitves are lack of Call handlers and the such.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a SLA with MS for pretty much all Enterprise OS / Apps and it would not cost use much at all. I've been totally frustrated with Cisco on their pricing structure for smartnet / subscriptions. I'm paying more for my Unity server in contract then my CM cluster.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>budgets get any tighter and it may just push me over the top. We already use OCS for IM / Presence, and I'm working on integrating CM into it. I think I could see us going to Excheange 2k7 pretty easy. I don't see coming off CM for Call Processing or UCCx for contact center, but Unity is pretty easy to flip a coin. and it would get it off my plate and on to my Exchange / AD guys plate =)</div>

<p>Has anyone thrown in the towel with Unity and opted out for the Microsoft Voicemail product. We're aware of the work around with MWI. What about interfacing with a Blackberry Enterprise Server? </p>
