  Microsoft's LCS: The New IP PBX?
Time: 00:02 EST/05:02 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Barbara Darrow reports today that Microsoft will finally clarify its plans next month to turn Live Communications Server (LCS) into a next-generation telephony server. Details are to be released at next month's unified communication event. Darrow didn't specify the event but presumably it's Microsoft's upcoming Tech-Ed 2006 event.

The relationship between Microsoft and its PBX partners has long been tactically cooperative, but strategically competitive. Tactically, Microsoft needed the voice switching capabilities of the infrastructure vendors, Cisco, Avaya, Siemens etc, to tie LCS into the corporate voice system. They in turn needed Microsoft's desktop and application footprint.
