IP PBX Replacement with Lync
Many people do not realize that the corporate PBX can be entirely replaced by a Microsoft Lync installation. Those who are more familiar with Lync’s predecessor, Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS), may be interested to know that Lync has been augmented with functions that enable many enterprise voice features. On its own, Lync supports voice communication between Lync clients, along with a rich mix of Unified Communications (UC) offerings, including presence, conferencing, screen sharing, whiteboard, and file transfer.
