The snom OCS Edition (snom Open Communication Solution Edition) combines the advantages of the open IP telephony standard SIP with the integration into Microsoft’s Office Communication Server 2007 and the complete Unified Communications solution.
snom phones are the first open-standard SIP phones with native Microsoft® Office Communication Server 2007 integration. They allow you to:
- have incoming calls announced simultaneously on your desktop AND your snom phone;
- search for names or phone numbers on the Microsoft® Office Communication Server via snom ActiveDirectory Search (snom LDAP);
- see the current status of your contacts (free, not logged on, busy);
- place secure calls both from your computer via Microsoft® OCS OR from your snom phone.

A friend of mine from NET Australia flicked me the following on Monday – I’ve just not had a chance to put it up.
Today NET Australia has made its most popular whitepapers available at discussUC.com. The white papers cover a range of topics such as:
- SIP Trunking
- Directory Based Call Routing
- Enabling Resilient, Secure, and High Availability Voice Services in Microsoft OCS Deployments
- Key Success Factors for Microsoft UC Implementations
NET Australia has made these papers available through discussUC.com as it is the largest subscribed Unified Communications websites in the region, with contributions from thousands of members worldwide.

Great initiative NET. Thanks for contributing to the community! (not to mention making such great products in the first place)

I had a tip from Dean Howarth, one of the convenors of our sister group in Melbourne. They are directing their members to the forums on DiscussUC.com. In the interest of building a bit of community around Australian UC users and IT pros – it would be great to see our members participating too.
There is a Microsoft specific UC forum here – but the wider forums have a lot of interesting content and I would recommend having a dig around.
