What's New in Conferencing with Office Communications Server 2007 R2

Part 2 of 6 on new OCS features!

Renee Lo is definitely the gadget girl of the OCS Product Managers that I met with - a quick look around her office showed the latest slick HTC Smartphone, a Roundtable and big video conferencing TV.  Why does she need all that stuff?  She's looks after the conferencing features in OCS, and in this interview she gave me a tour of some of the new features.  Like the ability to start a conference on your cell phone, then seamlessly move it to your office phone when you get in.  She showed the new video conferencing performance, and the ability to change resolutions on the fly during a video conference.

She also spent some time at the whiteboard drawing out the OCS architecture, showing how your connection, via corp LAN, pots, internet/etc., works, and the workflow of a con call initiated in OCS.  Cool stuff!
