Comment Great concept. Hard to integrate (Score 2) 3

I spent several years providing UM services to business travelers thru a company called eGlobe. The concept is great, however getting it integrated into your existing environment (Such as office vMail, pager, existing vMail at home, etc) is difficult. It will only really come into itself when the back end suppliers (such as switch companies, PBX companies, etc) support it via standardized format for messages. Most implementations are very simple. All messages are just an email with an optional mime attachement, either encoded voice, or fax, etc. Our system was pretty cool, it provided access to your message store from pretty much anywhere in the world via a local phone call. The storage was local in your 'home' country, and we did a real-time lookup via LDAP from whereever you dailed in. There was a node in all major business centers world wide. Great concept, we just couldn't get backing from our senior management and thus we all went our own way. I'd be interested in getting back into it if someone knew of a group doing this stuff in Denver. Let me know.
