MVP Summit 2011

Microsoft MVP Summit 2011, Redmond, WA

Another year as a Microsoft MVP and another year of insider NDA Microsoft information. Like every year information from Microsoft is given and it is bound by an NDA leaving no details to share. :)

 

As I sit in Sea-Tac airport with my wife, waiting to return home, I find myself without words to write. However, I can say that Microsoft has a vision, is working towards it, and exciting and new UC advances are coming our way. As I know more and can share it, I plan to post it here so stay tuned.

BriComp Computers Chooses IntelePeer to Provide Next-Generation Voice Connections for Microsoft Unified Communications Platform

IntelePeer's High Quality and Rapidly Deployed SIP Trunking Services Now Enable Adoption of Microsoft's Latest UC Technology, Lync 2010

IntelePeer provides a comprehensive suite of on-demand communications and SIP trunking services that are backed by deep communications expertise and a proven Quick Start program to ensure partners' Microsoft Lync 2010 SIP trunk deployments are successful. Through its Cloud-based infrastructure, Voice Peering Network and SuperRegistry™ of more than 422 million directly peered telephone numbers, IntelePeer simplifies communications by delivering carrier-quality service over public or private Internet Protocol (IP) connections directly to Microsoft Lync. IntelePeer's patented platform provides real-time service availability that spares customers from the need to change their data service provider or existing communications equipment, eliminating the lengthy delays associated with typical service deployments.

As part of the Microsoft Technology Adoption Program (TAP) to beta test early releases, BriComp Computers, an independent IT consultant that designs and builds infrastructure for Microsoft products, has been using IntelePeer SIP trunking with the beta and now the current release candidate of Lync 2010.

"In addition to consulting, I write a blog on 'How-To' instructions for configuring Microsoft Lync 2010 for Microsoft's TechNet online resource center," said Brian Ricks, founder of BriComp Computers. "When I evaluated IntelePeer's SIP trunking solution ( www.IntelePeer.com), I was impressed by the speed of deployment, flexibility and connection quality. It's simply amazing that IntelePeer's SIP trunks work flawlessly right out-of-the-box with the beta and now the current release candidate of Microsoft Lync 2010."

"As a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional and expert in Microsoft Unified Communications, Brian Ricks' endorsement carries tremendous credibility," said Margaret Norton, general manager, enterprise for IntelePeer. "We are focused on providing the necessary tools and support to quickly and profitably roll out Microsoft Lync 2010 deployments. We tailor our approach to fit each customer's need. With minimal up-front cost and rapid turn-up, IntelePeer's SIP Trunking product delivers superior quality and reliability."
