IPCELERATE INTRODUCES NEXT GENERATION OF AWARD-WINNING NIPA FRAMEWORK
NIPA 2.0 offers advanced technologies and solutions for unified communications across multiple vendors and platforms
September 21, 2009
IPcelerate, Inc., today introduced NIPA 2.0, the next generation framework for the delivery of advanced unified communications products and services across multiple vendor platforms. Core enhancements open the well-established framework and its embedded capabilities and applications to multiple vendors, multiple information sources and multiple devices – at the desktop and for mobile users.
“With this release, we continue to define unified communications, so that it consistently delivers what the name implies –unifying companies and enhancing the way their employees communicate and socialize, and how they interact with one another and with technology in ways that drive business results,” stated Alok Jain, Chief Technology Officer for IPcelerate. “These changes also accelerate the timeline for our company and our development partners to create and bring to market new applications and products that insert unified communications into the fabric of business operations – the fundamental goal of NIPA 2.0.”
Included in NIPA 2.0 are the following:
- A Web Services module which extends the embedded applications and capabilities of the NIPA framework to social networking and business communications applications and databases
- A comprehensive alert, notification, collaboration and messaging engine
- The NIPA 2.0 Thin Client Framework for Mobile Devices (with Web Services embedded), which resides on mobile devices, extending the embedded applications and capabilities of the NIPA framework to the mobile device
- IPfusion 2.0, the next generation drag-and-drop Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which provides easy tools and methodology for IPcelerate and its integrators/development partners to create new products and applications for unified communications, social networking, mobile devices and business process integration
“NIPA 2.0, with the embedded Web Services module, will allow partners to mesh unified communications applications with the business communication and social networking environment, while using the infrastructure resources in which their customers have already invested and are committed,” commented Jain. “NIPA 2.0 products and services will be used to improve collaboration, messaging, alerting, notification and socialization initiatives in conjunction with their unified communications investments. This will help customers meet today’s challenges while protecting – and extending the life of – their investments, which is something most business leaders are looking to do.”
NIPA 2.0 is designed to integrate with many aspects of a customer’s business, as its design focuses not on products but initiatives, processes and results. It inserts unified communications into an organization’s everyday tasks and interactions, maximizing an organization’s utilization of existing technology investments.
“In the economic conditions that exist today, unified communications is no longer about “productivity” – it is about measurable business results,” Kevin Brown, CEO and President of IPcelerate, said. “Can it increase safety in schools? Create a better experience for hospital patients? Help employees get paid faster? Help control employee expenses? Assist in alumni fund-raising activities? Yes, solutions built on NIPA 2.0 can address all these initiatives, and many more.”
NIPA 2.0 also creates a more personal experience – at the desktop computer, desktop phone, or mobile device. This drives higher utilization of a company’s unified communications solutions, and ultimately higher levels of business impact for the organization. For example, NIPA 2.0 customers can create – on the fly, in minutes – personal messaging groups on their IP phone, mobile device or social networking applications. From these groups they can send messages, start conference calls, record conversations – all without administrative intervention.
IPcelerate has experienced strong double digit growth, year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, in 2009, which has fueled R&D for the company. “Our products and solutions, driven by our partners, are as relevant today in these economic conditions as ever,” stated Brown. “We’ve taken the opportunity over the past year to revisit the business and technology challenges our customers and partners are facing, and we have used this information to make major changes to our framework that will accelerate our joint abilities to bring new solutions to market.”
