Chris Lyman on Unified Communications

Greg Galitzine has an excellent interview with Fonality CEO, Chris Lyman about unified communications, Microsoft (OCS 2007), and Cisco. Chris goes into the threat he believes Microsoft and Cisco may pose, as well as some analysis of Microsoft Response Point and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007. Here is a teaser of one of Chris's comments - "They are the two behemoths that have the greatest chance of unifying communications by dominating vs. integrating. Cisco owns the network and Microsoft owns the desktop. Upgrade a Cisco switch and you have IP voice. Upgrade your Microsoft server and add a softphone and you have IP voice. So, right now Cisco has the lead, but Microsoft is coming hard and fast."
