Microsoft Response Point
Microsoft Response Point was a proprietary software IP-PBX developed by Microsoft designed for small business. Response Point was not sold as an individual software package. Instead, D-Link, Quanta Computer, and Aastra Technologies Ltd. created the hardware with the software. The hardware consists of an x86 PC and sometimes FXO, FXO, or PRI ports. The software consisted of a stripped down version Windows XP Embedded with the Response Point services on top. There is no on-device GUI, with all configuration being done with a Windows-based application on another PC on the network. The primary distinguishing feature was the “Magic Blue Button” voice-enabled auto attendant system.
