GotUC.net, a new site that focuses on OCS development, recently opened an OCS R2 and Exchange 2010 developer sandbox.
Presence status = busy (and happy because my IDE is open! -- developers will know what I am talking about.)
This site allows developers to quickly try out new product features (they assign you an account that you can use to login to OCS R2 using CWA or the full OC R2 client and Exchange 2010). You can register and get a free developer account setup for you on the site.
But even better, the site allows you to fire up Visual Studio 2008 and use the Workflow designer to setup some powerful UC workflows.
I have just only begun to play with this capability but will share additional details and examples as I build out some workflows.
I believe the real power of UC is in using communication as a "platform". The UC platform is what allows CEBP (communication-enabled business processes) and CEBA (communication-enabled business applications) to truly come to life. I am hoping that some real examples will help move CEBP and CEBA discussions from the acronym-soup world into the world of possibilities in the eyes of my customers.
Already, federating between our existing OCS implementation and the GotUC.net OCS implementation has allowed me to test out some great new OCS R2 capabilities and a number of interoperability scenarios. More details surely to follow here.
Is anyone else out there developing UC Workflows in Visual Studio 2008? I would be interested in hearing the type of workflows you are building.
Presence status = available (to code)
