Voicerite and UC at the OGS

This morning at the OGS, a demo showed Voicerite solution for voice mail.

Who is Voicerite? They are a South Florida based partner, which is how I know them and they are one of the first to have a Vulcan product, so to speak.

VoiceRite is one of the first companies to publish to the Activity stream of the new Business Social Toolkit providing access to IBM Unified Messaging  for access to voice mail allowing for those messages to be transcribed to text and is a compliment to VoiceRite Lotus Plugin and its Mobile voice mail clients.www.voicerite.com.

For more information go to their website and/or go to their Pedestal which is 706 (may be wrong on the number will check next time I am down there).

Premier of UC2, from The View

As some may know, I was lucky enough to be among the first writers for Wellesley Information Services,the parent of The View magazine and seminars, for their new UC2 online webzine, called The UCView.

Out of 8 articles in this "issue" only 4 are not from IBM teams. And in fact the other 3 articles are from one firm, Ascendant and then there is mine.

I must thank my editor, Erin Durkin who was a saint to clean up my original article and turn it into the final version. In many ways this was easier than my play writing editing. I have been informed I owe her Chocolate according to Esther and I expect to deliver it at Lotusphere.

You can read the abstract of my article, here on picking a Sametime client(or if you have a View subscription can read it all). I had more listed in the original document but we cut it down to 11 different clients for Sametime.

A non-technical article, but for my first one I preferred it. My next article will be more technical or at least aimed at a more practical solution benefit to everyone.

One thing I learned is my original draft was much more enjoyable to read. Evidently they want a high brow customer so before you think of writing for them, keep in mind it's a formal article. If anyone knows of a "fun" Lotus magazine I can write for as well please let me know.

If anyone wants a copy of it, ask me or if I am allowed, I will post it on my website.

UPDATED:
Under terms of my agreement I can not post the whole thing on my web site but can post the abstract. Apologies as the link evidently drops you to an abstract only view. If you are interested in reading it email me. Sorry about that.
