Microsoft released its entry into the smb telephone marketplace about 9 months ago. Responsepoint is the first affordable telephone system that runs on your own computer network, integrates with Microsoft Small Business Server, and has a simplified form of Unified Messaging. It also integrates with your Outlook Contacts, so when one of your contacts calls, it pops up on your screen with the contact's information.

But here's the best part: When you are ready to make a call to one of those contacts, you simply press the Responsepoint blue button on the unit (we like to call it the Magic button) and simply speak the name of your contact. Voila, the phone dials your contact for you!

I have been using this system in our office for over 6 months now, and I have to say, I fired my telephone guy. It's just too easy to configure yourself. Automated attendant, voicemail, no answer call forward, voicemail conversion to email, it's got it all! If you want to know more, there is more info here.

To your success,

Tim
