Outsourcery displays six month lead by launching enhanced version of Microsoft ...

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) World leading Cloud Service Provider, Outsourcery will demonstrate its market leadership by launching its own collaboration and communications service, built upon Microsoft's Lync, the replacement application for OCS, at Microsoft's London offices on 22nd June.Named Outsourcery Unified Lync, the service is expected to have significant impact on the small PBX and video conferencing market, and will boost productivity on premises and across sites as hosted and federated versions become available. James Griffin, Director of Product Strategy for Outsourcery said, "Outsourcery has spent many months and millions of pounds assessing Lync, using it as a core communications engine and developing it into a complete communications platform.Having developed it for internal use, we are fantastically placed to deliver it to customers and our partners as we know it intimately and have demonstrated the business changing impact of the solution - a real world scenario.Outsourcery customers and partners can expect us to continue to lead the market as we have many planned enhancements already in development." Unified Lync will deliver a number of benefits which will allow organisations to improve communication, reduce telephony costs and increase staff productivity.Through Unified Lync, Outsourcery can deliver video conferencing straight to the desktop and reduce the pain and expense associated with disparate teams working across multi-site organisations.Features such as desktop sharing, teleconferencing and presence are all delivered via the existing network.It also delivers a fully integrated PBX, allowing full control of traditional telephony features such as call forwarding, simultaneous ringing and voice mails delivered as an email.As with its predecessor OCS, 'presence' forms a strong core to the new product, facilitating efficient collaboration. Griffin continued, "Unified Lync has become an integral part of Outsourcery's own business strategy and has saved the company hundreds of thousands in travelling costs, executive time and hardware.It has also assisted our recruitment efforts, as it no longer means we are restricted to traditionally accepted catchment areas (30 mile radius) from which to select staff.It literally makes the whole country a resource pool and at Outsourcery, video conferencing is now an integral way of working.

Under Server Name or IP Address enter the IP Name you created for the RADIUS server above. Skip to the Server Secret Key field and create a complex password. Make sure you document this as it is required when configuring the RADIUS server. Re-enter the secret in the Common Password field. Leave the rest of the settings at the defaults and click Ok.

I used “CiscoASA” but if you had more than one you might want to make it more unique and identifiable. Make sure you document the Friendly Name used as it will be used later in some of the policies created. Enter the Server Secret Key specified on during the ASA configuration in the Shared secret and Confirm shared secret field. Leave the default values for the other settings and click OK. See Figure 1 for all the complete RADIUS Client properties. Expand the Policies folder. Right-click on the Connection Request Policies and click New. Set the Policy Nameto something meaningful. I used CiscoASA because this policy is geared specifically for that RADIUS client. Leave the Type of network access server as Unspecified and click Next. Under Conditions click Add. Scroll down and select the Client Friendly Name condition and click Add Specify the friendly name that you used when creating the RADIUS Client above. Click OK and Next. On the next two pages leave the default settings and click Next. Under the Specify a Realm Name select the Attribute option on the left.
