Mircosoft starts VOIP testing

Microsoft after spending years of time for research, finally started to build momentum in VOIP space.

Microsoft Corp. started testing on Monday a new computer server software that allows corporate customers to make Web-based phone calls through its Office suite of business software.

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, due for release in the April-June quarter of 2007, will push the software giant into the business telephone market at a time when many large companies shift to cheaper telecommunications powered by Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.

The new voice server will allow users to instantly call anyone from within Office applications by clicking on a person`s name and initiating a call.

For example, a worker who receives an e-mail in Office Outlook from various colleagues can simply click on each colleague`s name to check their availability and place a person-to-person phone call or arrange a conference call.
