Catching up on emails, but for Unified communications aren't you
looking at OCS 2007r2?

We looked at OCS 2007 and have not done anything on it. OCS is just too
pricey for something that is not really necessary.

What part of it is 'not really necessary'? We had a lot of people
that thought IM was silly but it truly has helped communications here
in the past few years.

Agree with the price aspect of OCS 07. I know that something like this
can be done with VoIP, but with what we do for a business, we aren't
ready to go that route.

With the Nortel system, is that using Norstar?

IM can be done for free using any number of clients. The cost of OCS vs
business functionality gained doesn't make sense for my organization so
therefore, not really necessary to keep business functioning.

We would love to add IM to our communications strategy, however we would
like to be able to control who our users can add. We don't want them to
start adding 20+ friends, then chat and not work. Hard enough finding
work for some users with business being slow.
Is IM your only goal? If so, OCS is likely too expensive as others
have pointed out.
If IM is your only goal, then there are all kinds of free options out
there. You'd likely have to host your own if you don't want an
external interface.

We would probably start out with IM and then add addition features as
time went... conferencing, etc...

We've had LCS2005sp1 for a few years now. We are using only the IM
portion for a variety of reasons but my initial 'proof of concept'
test install for 50 users (100 in three weeks) now supports 1,500
users with 1,000

Well, if you are going to use some of those features, OCS can come in
at a compelling price. But you are going to pay for them all up
front.
Sounds like you need to do a requirements analysis.

So, there are a lot of options, but those options are expensive, just
not expensive in terms of licensing costs.
Jabber for in house only (block to the Internet)
You could set up your own IRC server in house ( I am not sure if
Jabber will do persistent 'group' chat like IRC does with channel bots

Norstar can mean many things. Technically, it's just a premises
phone system (i.e., KSU), not even voice mail. A Norstar phone system
will have some kind of voice mail
Oh, ah, Nortel NC1000 series switched. Beyond that I'd have to ask
more info from the telecom side.
