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...

    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.

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?

      We actually talked a bunch about Auto Attendant and Call Queues in our most recent Skype video broadcast - you can find it at http://aka.ms/sfbcastpast

        Two questions:

         

        I'd sign up for the AA and CQ preview today if it will support the following scenario:

        The organization I work for likes to have a real voice (person) answer the main phone number during regular business hours, will it be possible to have an AA pickup a call after x seconds if the operator is unable to answer or does AA always answer immediately?

         

        Historically speaking, how long are Skype Preview's in preview before going GA? Do you find it's a couple months, less than six months or more than six months? I know and greatly appreciate there's no time lines for going GA from preview and you're focused on quality but I suspect there's been an resemblance of a pattern historically.
