Welcome to the OCS Insider!
This blog is dedicated to talking about Microsoft OCS, its related technology, and peoples” experiences with it.
My name’’s Chris. I”m the tech writer for PlanetMagpie, an IT Consulting firm in Silicon Valley. I”ll be your blogger for the year. My specialty? Translating very technical OCS jargon into language about its capabilities we can all understand.
A few of the topics we”ll cover here:
- Components of an OCS Phone System
- OCS With VoIP, OCS Without VoIP - Which is
- When IM is a Big Help
- When IM is Annoying
- How to Use the “Presence” Feature
- Does OCS Really Save Money? How?
- Where’’s OCS Headed?
- Your OCS Questions, Answered
Why an “Inside” Perspective?
We”re an IT firm. So, we”re definitely “inside” the tech industry. Not only that, but we”re the first ones to setup a complete OCS installation in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In fact, that’’s part of the reason why we started this blog - people keep asking us questions about OCS!
We see a huge amount of potential in this software. Many others do too (check our Links list for some OCS-related websites). So we”re establishing The OCS Insider as a resource for anyone interested in moving to OCS and its related technologies.

And if you”re curious, send us your OCS questions! We”ll do our best to answer all of them.
