Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Product Overview – v 2009.1.30 64
Extensible Communications Platform
Office Communications Server 2007 R2 delivers an extensible communications platform that enables the
flexibility to integrate into an existing messaging and telephony infrastructure, as well as can customize
existing software to adapt to the organization’s changing business needs. The platform provides
extensive standards support, as well as powerful application programming interfaces (APIs).
Extend existing telephony infrastructures
Office Communications Server 2007 R2 provides the ability to interoperate and integrate with many
third party telephony infrastructures. Published and supported interfaces enable software-powered
VoIP to be implemented alongside the existing PBX infrastructure. This allows call Management
capabilities (forwarding, simultaneous ring, and so forth) to be used with PBX/PSTN/mobile endpoints.
There are several ways, or scenarios, in which an organization can integrate Office Communications
Server 2007 R2 with its existing PBX environment. Two primary end user scenarios are "co-existence"
and "standalone" (see Figure 72).
