Sametime Unified Communications at VoiceCon
Just got off a phonecall with Alistair Rennie, Bruce Morse, Marisa Viveros and Erica Topolski from IBM Lotus. Erica arranged a blogger Q&A session for the announcements surrounding VoiceCon. I’ve put the entire press release in the permalink link below, but here’s what you need to get out of it in short form:
- Sametime Unified Telephony will be available in July 2009
- There are already 14 partners on board including service and hardware vendors
- IBM Lotus are basing SUT on industry standards so anyone can interoperate with SUT.
- There is a Sametime Validation Program available that will allow more vendors to be validated
- They are obviously selling services that can help you put in SUT
- I asked if this makes sense to be put into a Foundations box and Alistair said that yes, indeed it made sense, and was already being looked at.
In all it was a great intimate call, and Sametime Unified Telephony looks really cool, now I gotta push my VOIP vendor to get validated.
🙂
P.S. As always MANY thanks to Erica for thinking of the community…

IBM believes the future of voice collaboration is rooted in openness and the ability to connect with people and avoid costly and frustrating missed connections.
