OCS User Training and Adoption materials

This is always on the top of the list when talking to customers who are planning on using UC. Below are a couple of resources that companies can use to help with that area. In particular I really like the rolodex. It has material for all the different features in OC and other UC clients including the console attendant and group chat .It can be setup in your own environment customized to the features and clients you have deployed.
