Some ITExpo follow up
I didn't get a chance to post this last week, but I'd bookmaked it and do want to share it. Tim Greene at Network World wrot eup his thoughts on the ITExpo here. Some of his notes said -
The full article is well worth a read. And for some of us who weren't able to make it to the Expo (at least me), Tim's report was a touch of vicarious living that made us really wish we'd been there.
VoIP and other IP communications features will be embedded rapidly in business software to expand the usefulness of future applications, according to experts at last week's Internet Telephony Conference and Expo.
Rather than being separate applications that users turn to when they need to reach others, elements of IP communications will be drawn into business applications on a Web-services model. This is possible because VoIP breaks down into separate components all the elements, such as presence and call setup, that have traditionally been boxed up and inaccessible inside PBXs. The only way around this was computer-telephony integration, which required writing code to specific applications for specific proprietary PBXs.
VoIP and other IP components let software developers blend communications elements they need to make better business applications.
