Microsoft unified comms lacks VoIP, IM compliance tools

4th July 2006
By Rhonda Ascierto

Microsoft Corp's complicated unified communications product roadmap, unveiled with much fanfare recently, is missing an important component: regulatory compliance tools for VoIP and instant messaging, according to Avanade Inc, an Accenture-Microsoft joint venture.

There currently are no compliance regulations for instant messaging and IP phone calls. But as these technologies become centrally managed, as Microsoft's forthcoming platform promises to do, enterprises can expect potential compliance issues, Avanade said.
I think there's a lot more lacking that just regulatory compliance tools.  I commented more here. This is just another example of one more organization noting the huge disconnect between Microsofts offering and what users want and need. Actually, this article was kinder than most.
