CUCM 7

I've just been to a tech-update from Cisco, where they talked about CUCM 7. Though the release itself wasn't very impressing, they have implemented a few new features that will be nice to have.

The tech-update also provided us with information on where the presence functionality is going, which new phone models they have in production, other unified communication products and the announcement of EOL products. If you're interested, you should attend Cisco's official tech-update track near you.
