Event Overview
Microsoft Unified Communications is unleashing the power of software to communications. But what communications solutions can a company deploy without having a full-time developer on staff? In this webcast, we walk you through a set of easy-to-use applications that anyone with basic programming skills can use to build on the developer platform of Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office Communications Server. Join us to learn how to use the new Windows PowerShell capabilities to manage your Exchange users; how to use Exchange for managing a customer database; how to build a conference room scheduling application in the Exchange Web Services Managed API; and how build a basic help desk portal application using speech recognition. All code will be made available after the webcast on http://gotuc.net.

The MVP Summit in Bellevue Washington is over. While sending some last mails from my hotel room in Hyatt I look back at a wonderful and inspiring week with lots of new stuff. I think Microsoft is doing a great job within the Unified Communications landscape. Lots of good interactions with the PG’s (Product Groups) here in Redmond.
Tonight we are going to take a quick bite at Joe's in Bellevue and then get a short nap. Tomorrow morning I will travel back to Amsterdam. All the MVP’s I’ve met this week thanks for the interaction and special thanks to the MVP leads… you guys did a great job! Thanks!
