Over the past couple of years, I have appeared as a guest on the IMI-TechTalk a number of times on a variety of technology and security subjects. This coming Sunday, April 27, I will join host Tom D’Auria once again to talk about Microsoft’s ResponsePoint phone system. ResponsePoint brings an IP-based phone system packed with Unified Communications tools and features to the SMB market at a price that makes me want to install it in my house. You can listen next Sunday at 5pm central time on KFNX AM 1100, broadcast from Phoenix, AZ, or you can listen live to the streaming audio from the KFNX web site as well. If you miss the show while it is being broadcast, check back in a few weeks on the IMI-TechTalk web site to download an MP3 recording of the show. You can get more details here.

In a past life, I managed a PBX system. I was thrust into one of those jack-of-all-trades IT positions where I was basically tasked with deploying, administering, troubleshooting, and maintaining anything with a plug. From pencil sharpeners to servers, and desktop PC’s to laser printers, it was all my responsibility, and the PBX phone system was based in the server room so it became mine to manage. From what I recall, it was archaic and cumbersome. Just adding a phone line or a new user was a project in and of itself. That was a mere 10 years ago. Now, we have VoIP and Unified Communications, and all of the miraculous wonders those technologies bring with them. For small and medium businesses, Microsoft has a tool that is simply awesome- ResponsePoint. Evangelyze Founder and Executive Director Joe Schurman presented a demonstration of the power and simplicity of ResponsePoint at the SMB Nation conference in New York this past weekend. Visit the ResponsePoint site and watch some of the demos. I think it will blow you away. If you want more information about ResponsePoint, you can contact Evangelyze.
