UC Exchange supports Microsoft Lync 2013, Lync 2010, OCS 2007 R2, OCS 2007 R1, LCS 2005; IBM Sametime; Cisco Jabber XCP, Unified Presence Server (CUPS) and WebEx Messenger (formerly Cisco WebEx Connect); Google Apps, Jive OpenFire, Ezuce Open UC, and Isode M-link.

UC Exchange is powered by a searchable Directory Service of 100s of federation-ready organizations where subscribing organizations can easily find, connect and collaborate with their federation ready partners.

Through a unique federation Management Portal, organizations can quickly provision their UC domains for federation, manage federation requests, and access various reporting and analytics tools.
