OCS Appliance the first?

I came across the Product family from Startready last month. Essentially it is OCS and it's components installed in an appliance that is already configured for the user based on information taken from his existing network and information collected in an Excel spreadsheet.

I recommend you take a moment to look at this article from Network World . Having been involved with OCS deployments since 2007, one of the key benefits this solution looks to offer is that the amount of site installation work is just 2 hours! Also as StartReady have done the configuration and installation remotely the need for Microsoft UC certified engineers on site is not a requirement.

What this means is that the reseller community can go after OCS customers without the high costs of UC certification.
