Microsoft Office Communications server (OCS) has room for improvement but we can not compare it to IP-PBX system at all. It is a whole load of improvement to the new generation communication among organizations and their business partners.
I am in need of knowing what are some of the improvements that set Microsoft Office Communication server from the IP-PBX and other previously used systems?
OCS diminishes the use of IP-PBX system
