iotum Relevance Engine™ Integrated with Solegy's Software and Managed Services
iotum service now supported by Solegy's managed service delivery platform and OpenSBC, the Solegy-sponsored open source session border controller
New York, NY & San Jose, CA (March 5, 2007) — Solegy™, a provider of a managed service delivery platform for VoIP, IMS and other next generation services, announced today that it has partnered with iotum to offer service providers a solution that leverages iotum's Relevance Engine™, a Voice 2.0 communications service. Through Solegy's managed service delivery platform, ServicePDQ™, service providers can leverage iotum's voice communications service to manage the treatment of a user's inbound voice communications.
In addition, the iotum platform has been integrated into OpenSBC, an open source session border controller available from the Solegy-sponsored Open Source SIP project. The free software can be downloaded from www.opensourcesip.org, the home of Solegy’s open source initiative.
"The need for VoIP service providers to differentiate their offerings from traditional telcos has never been more important," said Eric Hernaez, CEO and co-founder of Solegy. "One of the best ways to do this is by leveraging IP communications tools that apply a user’s contextual information to their telephone interactions. Iotum's service is an excellent example of this capability. Solegy’s objective is to offer service providers a platform on which the best and most innovative services can be tied together in a stable and massively scalable environment."
Through the companies' collaboration, customers of Solegy's ServicePDQ platform such as service providers can launch their own next-generation services which incorporate iotum's communications platform and ServicePDQ's intelligent session control, real-time rating, and comprehensive back-office management functions. ServicePDQ is a software system that provides a single point for clients to create, deploy, and charge for services across multiple networks. VoIP Service Providers roll-out feature rich telephony services with remarkable agility, using pre-built managed VoIP applications including SOHO Broadband, Hosted PBX, Calling Cards, Callback and Wholesale Peering.
"Working with Solegy means more service providers can benefit from our call control and Pronto Conferencing features," said Alec Saunders, president of iotum. "We view the Solegy approach to open source being very complementary to iotum's offering. Not only will our service provider clients benefit from a fully standard-compliant and multi-protocol support session border controller, their own clients will benefit from the enhanced scalability and flexibility that Solegy's OpenSBC implementation provides."
