InterCall and NextPlane have reached a new agreement, which will add NextPlane's UC Exchange service to InterCall's UC offerings. This will enable InterCall customers using unified communications platforms to communicate and collaborate with hundreds of organizations and UC domains worldwide, providing faster and seamless collaboration.
This week, NextPlane announced federation of their UC Exchange service to Microsoft Office 365. This is a big deal that offers a leap forward for NextPlane, for Microsoft, and for the UC market in general. If you are using Instant Messaging (IM) and Presence in your enterprise, my independent professional advice is that you would be well served by taking a look at this service, either separately or in combination with other federation methods.
NextPlane has announced that its UC Exchange service now supports Microsoft Office 365. Through NextPlane's UC Exchange service, collaboration across business organizations and customers that have deployed Office 365 can now be done on other UC systems.
