Nothing Simple about "Simplified" UC Licensing
Hopefully we will get to the point where UC is no longer a complicated licensing ordeal, fraught with complexity and added expense.
Nietzsche was dead wrong when he said "Out of chaos, comes order."
At least that is my experience as a communications technology consultant for 20 years. In this business, "Chaos breeds more chaos."
For example, I continue to be mystified by the licensing programs offered by the major Unified Communications vendors. At a recent vendor conference, a slide was presented with the new "Simplified" licensing model. And while it may be better than the previous model, my first reaction was to laugh, as I thought they may be pulling our collective legs. There was indeed nothing simple about it, as the simplified model still required an entire slide and a complicated matrix to analyze the different options.
