Rick Miller, Manager of Enterprise LAN Services

The AudioCodes gateway was viewed as a necessary step as we integrate multiple locations with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007. The AudioCodes product flexibility and features, as well as the fact that the gateway can support Exchange Server 2007, Office Communications Server 2007, and PSTN connections simultaneously, were key factors in our decision. We are pleased with the performance of the AudioCodes gateway and the ease of its integration.

Thorir Baldursson, Lead System Administrator

We simply realized that our best option would be to discard the proprietary IP-PBX we had in place and replace it with the joint Microsoft and AudioCodes solution. We also felt much more comfortable with the Microsoft and AudioCodes solution. It is standards based and very easy to manage. Microsoft provides us with IT-oriented unified communications solutions, and AudioCodes complements it with everything we want with regards to interfacing with legacy telephony
