3 Years Isn't As Long As It Used To Be

No wonder I feel like I'm getting old so fast. I just realized that it only takes about 17 months to age 3 years.

In April of 2007 Cisco was touting their 3 year lead on Microsoft in Unified Communications. Well it looks like that 3 year lead has vanished and Cisco seems to have decided that they may be going about things all wrong. Check out this post on the Office Communications Server team blog.

And while we are talking about Cisco you should know that they just announced last week that they are acquiring Jabber.

Fun times are ahead for Speech Server and OCS. Those of you that are developing on these platforms are on the leading edge of a revolution in how call centers and data centers will communicate in the near future.

Now it is evident for me, that the guys posting at technet forums about failing integrating OCS & Cisco Call Manager most probably will not get their simple solution...

The simliest way found on forums was use hardware Cisco router correcting "+" issue (or standard) in OCS infrastructure (I prosed a working - but, as usual, illegal patch solution).

Simply imagagine - to fix a software partial incompatibility one needs hardware router!

Microsoft published patch for OCS mediation, patially fixing the error (nearly the same way I did in testlab).

What a pity - vendors conflict, user forgotten...
