Microsoft is hosting an official launch event for Office Communications Server 2007 R2, but the actual RTM code is already available. After testing the OCS 2007 R2 Beta for the past few months and deploying it internally, Mike Stacy of Evangelyze Communications recently had an opportunity to do the first real-world deployment for a customer. The implementation involved replacing an existing Shoretel PBX infrastructure. You can check out Mike’s blog for details about the project and the features and benefits that OCS 2007 R2 was able to deliver for this customer. If you’re free Tuesday, be sure to participate in the Microsoft launch event to learn even more about what R2 as to offer.

OCS 2007 R2

There is a rumor in the blogosphere that Microsoft may release an update to Office Communications Server 2007 this fall. The next major release of Office Communications Server is expected to be OCS 2009. However, according to at least one blog, Microsoft may release OCS 2007 R2 in Q4 of this year to update OCS 2007. As quickly as the unified communications landscape changes, an R2 of OCS 2007 would make sense. There are a variety of features and functions that customers want and need, and if Microsoft makes them wait until 2009 or later for the next major OCS release, those customers might invest in alternative solutions that meet their needs now. There is no confirmation of the rumor from Microsoft, and no details currently available regarding what updates or features might be included in R2.
