Microsoft sends message on 'unified messaging'
"The software maker on Monday announced its vision for so-called unified
messaging, which brings together e-mail, instant messaging, telephony
and Web conferencing. It also introduced a series of products coming
over the next year that should help achieve this. The goal is to free
workers from having to guess which mode is the best to use to reach
co-workers and others. [...]"
Although MS claims for SIP standards compliance, their UM products are
still using proprietary protocols. I can't register my x-lite with an
LCS or use the MS communicator together with my SER proxy. So it's all
or nothing, either you're an MS shop from A to Z or you can't really use
their UM offerings.
Tom Keating has written a nice article about that:
