IPCELERATE ANNOUNCES UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS APPLICATION SUITE FOR iPHONE AND iPOD TOUCH
Webur™ bridges the chasm between the corporate desktop and the social mobile user by bringing existing business communications applications to mobile devices
September 21, 2009
IPcelerate, Inc. today announced Webur™ for the iPhone and iPod Touch, a new, innovative business telephony experience for the mobile user. Built on the new NIPA 2.0 Mobile Thin Client and Web Services module, Webur™ offers a comprehensive suite of communications, socialization and collaborative solutions. It delivers a wide range of capabilities for the mobile user, including creating and managing personal and corporate groups that are used for messaging, alerting, recording, conferencing, dial-out, and social presence.
Service providers and partners can choose to host Webur™ services, creating recurring revenue streams for themselves. By providing Webur™ in a hosted environment, these partners can offer subscription-based or usage-based services for their customers, delivering business-oriented communications solutions such as recording of mobile calls, mobile-initiated pre-programmed conferences, mass alert notifications, and dial-out applications.
Companies that have deployed corporate unified communications internally (on-premise) can use Webur™ to extend their unified communications features and experience to the mobile user. This enables corporate and social users to use unified communications – beyond physical, geographic or cultural boundaries – in new and more effective ways.
“Webur™ gives the mobile user the freedom to create personal or corporate contact groups that can be used for messaging, dial-out, pre-programmed conferences, paging, alerting, notification – the full suite of corporate communications capabilities provided by unified communications,” said Alok Jain, Chief Technology Officer for IPcelerate. “Webur™ allows users to create, send and manage advanced multi-media messages - using text, audio, image, and location-based information - from their iPhone.”
Additional features offered by Webur™ include:
- Record any or all phone calls made from the mobile device
- Download recorded calls to the mobile device to use for messaging applications
- One-touch initiation of personal conference calls, using personal or corporate groups
- Create a profile of both friends and colleagues for a single point of information
- Check the status of colleagues and the location of other iPhone/iPod Touch users for work and/or security purposes
- Access corporate messaging groups resident on corporate IPsession and add personal contacts to these groups
- Access and initiate a dial-out program resident on corporate IPsession
- Utilize paging and conferencing groups on corporate IPsession
“With Webur™, we wanted to create next generation revenue services for our partners, for service providers, centered around extending critical capabilities like messaging, recording, conferencing, and social presence for the mobile user,” stated Kevin Brown, CEO and President of IPcelerate. “Whether they choose to deliver Webur™ as a hosted offering, a managed service, or an extension of their on-premise offerings, our partners now have the ability to offer yet another highly relevant solution to their customers with new revenue opportunities consistent with their business model and preferences, without regard to the type of unified communications or PBX investment already in place for that customer.”
In the coming months, IPcelerate will introduce future applications for the iPhone to further enhance the mobile user experience and tie back to existing corporate infrastructure investments already in place. “Additionally, using the NIPA 2.0 Mobile Thin Client and the advanced IDE available for the NIPA 2.0 framework, partners and developers will create and deliver new applications and services under their own brand,” commented Jain. “In the end, their success will be driven not only by applications we create, but by their ability and desire to create their own branded applications and services. With Webur™, we have made it significantly easier for them to do so.”
