Using Unified Messaging, does the customer need to be hosting their own email? Does this require using an exchange server?
 
Mind if you brief me a little on what this entails?
 
The Unified Messaging Application is a software application that interfaces between the messaging system and email servers (Microsoft Exchange servers and SMTP servers). The Unified Messaging Application receives voice mail messages from the messaging system and forwards them to the email server(s)so that users can access their voice messages from their email account. Users can view these voice mail messages as they would normally view their email messages using any email client (for example, Microsoft Outlook for an Exchange email server, and Yahoo mail or AOL mail for SMTP email servers).The mail messages have attached .WAV files that the users can play using anaudio player on their PC.
Doesn't this statment mean you do not have to host the email.

40 years in the business and counting.
