We here at Wadeware have been working extensively with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 (and R2) for nearly 4 years now. (Yes, 4 years, we were active during the early beta builds in 2006). We are excited to hear that Microsoft has announced the next wave, which is called Communications Server “14” as of now.

Here is a link to the announcement:

Stay tuned!
