Last weekend we rolled out Office Communications server to go along with our existing Exchange 2007 and SharePoint infrastructure. What an awesome, awesome product. Unfortunately, bringing in IM on a wide-scale like this to the entire company calls for some rules and I need to play ball as well which means pruning a few hundred contacts out of my MSN contact list and keeping it business only.
I hope I don’t offend many of my friends and associates with this move, it’s not that talking to you is a giant waste of time, I just need to limit my corporate exposure to our clients only in much the same way that I wouldn’t take a personal cell phone and chitchat while people expected me to be working.
Anyhow, I hope you don’t take it personal. I will still read your email if you need to get in touch with me throughout the day! 🙂
P.S. If you’re paying us, you’re staying on the list. If we are paying you, you’re staying on the list. If you’re not paying us and we’re not paying you, you’re off the list. Update: If you are paying us and you don’t have any of us on your contact list but use MSN or AIM.. contact me and I’ll make sure we get you on.
