Microsoft is offering its to start with public glimpse of Office Mail messages Server 14,publisher 2010 contains the new ribbon interface. its all-in-one instant messaging/VOIP/conferencing product along at the VoiceCon show in Orlando concerning March 24.
Office Communications Server 14 - which Ive heard will likely be called Office Communications Server 2010 when it ships on the latter part of this year - will likely be tightly integrated with SharePoint Server 2010 and even Exchange Server 2010, as Ive reported previously.microsoft publisher 2007 includes new E-mail Merge capabilities. Microsoft officials reconfirmed today that OCS 14 will probably ship before the end of your year.
From some of the new screen shots given by Microsoft of OCS 14, it looks like social-networking should become more pervasive in Company Communicator, the client component of your jewelry.adobe acrobat x software lets you deliver professional PDF communications. Microsoft is adding location auto-detection, activity feeds, and integrated skill-search functionality to another location release of OCS.
Microsoft officials are sharing information only in the voice features of OCS fifteen today, a company spokesperson said. The Redmondians also arent thinking today about when and whether there will be a public beta of OCS 15. At the Professional Developers Conference late 2009, officials said to expect an individual Technology Adoption Partner test of OCS 14 get started with in the second calendar quarter from this year. The codename for that ENGAGE program is "Metro. " A company spokesperson explained the TAP program for OCS eighteen kicked off "days ago. "
Microsoft isnt releasing sales characters for OCS, but company officials claim OCS sales have cultivated by double digits every year the past three years. Microsoft officials say that more than 70 percent of the Fortune 100 have OCS along with 7 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies, 8 of the top 10 aerospace agencies, and 9 of the top ten banks.
No word from the Softies about what will be new in a cloud-side complement to OCS 16, the Office Communications Online assistance, which provides users with fast messaging, presence and peer-to-peer voice dialing via the hosted OCS recommending. Heres the official response at a company spokesperson when I enquired:
"We update Microsoft Online Expertise with new capabilities every 3 months, and in the future, we will make additional usefulness, including many of the functionality in Communications Server 14, available as part of Clinic Communications Online. We will have more to talk about on this front in the coming weeks and months. "
Microsoft officials are now predicting that unified communications will be the norm in business communications in several years. (I kind of sense that this is like "This will be year of IPTV" predictions; the date when a selected technology gains a foothold is frequently several years - or many decades - further away than those participating a market anticipate.)
Any OCS users out certainly, there? What are you expecting/hoping should make it into the new version of OCS that wasnt portion of OCS R2, which Microsoft released to manufacturing last December 2008?
