Cloud PBX Enhancements

I'm certain that this question gets asked a lot, but I didn't see anything specific around here, so I thought I would start the discussion.

 

What are the plans for enhancements to Cloud PBX, right now a lot of customers and partners are seeing a number of blockers in the solution and things have been pretty quiet around what's coming and more specifically, when it's coming.

  • Definitely.  There's a ton coming up for Cloud PBX in the coming year that we document in our NDA roadmap (a presentation available from MIcrosoft employees to customers under NDA).  Probably the biggest work upcoming is Hunt Groups & Organizational Auto-Attendant, which is planned to get into preview in the coming months.

    We desperately want the "Call Parking" feature to be added to the Cloud PBX. Being able to put a call on hold in one section of our warehouse and picking it up at any other stationg without having to transfer directly is one of the biggest things we lost after switching to Skype and Cloud PBX.  Another nice addition to the PBX would be a simple method of having our main phone number show as the Caller ID for all outbound calls.

    I've been looking for the same thing, ideally a basic roadmap of features (that could be elaborated on with limitations etc) and timescales would be perfect.
  • Also interested to hear this.  We are poised to do a VOIP / Virtual PBX project here and would like to know what Microsoft's plans are for the near term to inform that process.  Right now the features and roadmap are very cloudy forcing us to look at other vendors for a solution "integrated" in O365 / S4B.  Any guidance from Microsoft here?

        Is there a link to the roadmap if we have an executed NDA?
