Microsoft is offering its primary public glimpse of Office Emails Server 14,publisher 2010 contains the new ribbon interface. its all-in-one instant messaging/VOIP/conferencing product with the VoiceCon show in Orlando with March 24.
Office Communications Server 14 - which I've heard can be called Office Communications Server 2010 when it ships during the latter part of this year - will be tightly integrated with SharePoint Server 2010 together with Exchange Server 2010, as I've reported previously.microsoft publisher 2007 includes new E-mail Merge capabilities. Microsoft officials reconfirmed today that OCS 14 will ship before the end of the year.
From some of the new screen shots given by Microsoft of OCS 14, it looks like social-networking should become more pervasive in Office Communicator, the client component of this product.adobe acrobat x software lets you deliver professional PDF communications. Microsoft is adding location auto-detection, activity feeds, and integrated skill-search functionality to a higher release of OCS.
Microsoft officials are sharing information only to the voice features of OCS 14 today, a company spokesperson said. The Redmondians also aren't chatting today about when and whether you will encounter a public beta of OCS 15. At the Professional Developers Conference late in 2009, officials said to expect an exclusive Technology Adoption Partner test of OCS 14 get started with in the second calendar quarter in this year. The codename for that SPIGOT program is "Metro. " A company spokesperson says the TAP program for OCS fifteen kicked off "days ago. "
Microsoft isn't releasing sales characters for OCS, but company officials claim OCS sales have raised by double digits every year for the last three years. Microsoft officials say that in excess of 70 percent of the Fortune 100 have OCS and even 7 of the top 10 prescription drug companies, 8 of the top 10 aerospace organisations, and 9 of the top 10 banks.
No word from the Softies about what will be new in this cloud-side complement to OCS eighteen, the Office Communications Online service, which provides users with on the spot messaging, presence and peer-to-peer voice naming via the hosted OCS providing. Here's the official response from your company spokesperson when I asked:
"We update Microsoft Online Products with new capabilities every 3 months, and in the future, we will make additional overall performance, including many of the capacities in Communications Server '14', available as part of Office environment Communications Online. We will have more to talk about on this front in a coming weeks and months. "
Microsoft officials are now predicting that unified communications is the norm in business communications in a couple of years. (I kind of sense that this is like "This would be the year of IPTV" predictions; the date when a individual technology gains a foothold will likely be several years - or quite a few years - further away than those engaged in a market anticipate.)
Any OCS users out in that respect there? What are you expecting/hoping should make it into the new version of OCS that wasn't a part of OCS R2, which Microsoft released to manufacturing back in December 2008?
