Response Point 005: Joe Schurman on SmartVOIP

This past week Evangelyze Communications announced their SmartVoIP Solution utilizing NET Quintum VoIP Gateways to enable integration between Response Point and Microsoft Unified Communications. This week I talk with Joe Schurman, CEO of Evangelyze, to find out more about SmartVoIP.

Evangelyze's SmartVoIP enables businesses with multiple 'branch' offices to use Response Point in field offices and tie in with the home office Exchange/UC system. This can cut the cost of field office phone systems by half and make the field office to home office long distance cost zero!

Response Point 004: Richard Sprague on Roadmap

If you want to REALLY know about what is coming in the near(ish) future on Microsoft Response Point - you will want to listen to this. In this weeks podcast I speak with Richard Sprague, Senior Director on the Microsoft Response Point team. We went bullet point by bullet point over the Response Point Roadmap. I think a lot of VAR's (resellers) and customers are going to like what they hear. I know a lot of requests that I hear about from the customers and the community are addressed in the features included in the upcoming Roadmap.
