NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) announced today that their TMC University division will offer a Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) training course at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO East 2008 in Miami, Florida.

Titled, ‘Introduction to Microsoft OCS’, this TMC University course offers an initial training session teaching users how to integrate Microsoft’s new platform into their existing infrastructure.

According to TMC President and conference chairman, Rich Tehrani, TMC University is the only independent program of its kind. And this new OCS certification course is an overdue addition to the series.

“Since Bill Gates’ unveiling of Microsoft OCS in October, enterprises have scrambled to determine the most effective way to integrate its considerable advantages into their organizations. This new course gives the necessary background for enterprise telecom and IT managers to make smart recommendations about what’s best for their companies,” said TMC president Rich Tehrani.

The program will be taught by Thomas Cross – CEO TECHtionary.com, an innovative communications advisor with considerable expertise in market planning and development, hardware/software design and development, project management, intellectual property in telecommunications, information technology, conferencing, teletraining, telecommuting, groupware, networks, call centers, internet, artificial intelligence and other fields.

Cross commented, “OCS is the most profound innovation in telephony since digital PBX systems.” “It is very likely OCS will be a ‘must-have’ for business communications. By adding this training course to the Miami program, attendees can attend a one-day class that prepares them to make recommendations to their companies about an OCS strategy,” Cross added.
