Excellent Process Diagram of OCS 2007 With SIP Trunking
(And I Didn”t Even Write It!)
Glub…glorp…
Yep, still drowning in this new website version. But today I have a really good article to share with you.
Joe Schurman posted an article to his Microsoft Voice and UC blog on Saturday (July 11th). The article gives an overview on replacing PBX phone systems with OCS 2007 R2 and SIP trunking.
(For anyone who doesn”t know, SIP trunking uses a dedicated digital channel through a major voice carrier like AT&T or Sprint for its communications. It’’s explained well in the article too.)
He’’s more into making a case for SIP trunking than how to go about it. It’’s a solid case though. And he’’s included those nifty system diagrams my laptop doesn”t like making.
Check out the article here:

I agree with Joe - SIP trunking is a great way to go for office communications. I”ll write more on it soon. (Once the new website’’s up and running, of course!)
Is there an OCS-related topic you”d like more about? Leave a comment!
CEOs Who Use Twitter - Live from BusinessWeek!

This isn”t OCS-related, but it is communication-related. Something interesting I ran across this morning:
CEOs Who Use Twitter - BusinessWeek
50 CEOs who use Twitter to stay in touch. Looks like the old-time myth of the “unreachable boss” has gone away!
The reason I like this is not because of Twitter (which I do find interesting, but easily-abused). It’’s because things like OCS and Twitter help flatten old communication hierarchies.
Used to be, if you wanted to talk to the boss, you had to make an appointment with the secretary. Wait a while. MAYBE get approved. Then stammer out your request, hoping you won”t lose your job for it.
These days, communication tools reduce all that to a few minutes. The boss has to get involved, you get your work done, and everybody saves time. THAT”S what I like!
