VoIP Logic Honored as Finalist in Sylantro Global Summit Telephony Mashup Challenge

October 4, 2007 —

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VoIP Logic, (www.voiplogic.com), a leading outsourced and hosted voice-over-IP (VoIP) infrastructure and solutions provider, today announced that it has extended its proprietary Cortex® System Management Portal software to enable SMS (Short Message Service) - known by more than 1 billion users globally as "text-messaging" - to control and manage VoIP telephony features on the Sylantro Synergy Platform. This Cortex SMS integration with Sylantro’s Synapps APIs was honored this week as one of three finalists at the Sylantro Global Summit 2007 Telephony Mashup Challenge in Las Vegas.

 

Cortex is a flexible, customizable web-based managementplatform that enables service providers to provision and customize service offerings, and their end-users to self-administer. Now, through text messaging, a user is able to communicate to underlying systems in order to accomplish such tasks as initiating a call or conference call and managing find me/follow me settings.

 

"As a growing company with innovative ideas and award-winning software, we are proud to compete with global luminaries such as Infosys," said Micah Singer, CEO of VoIP Logic. "Sylantro, through its Synapps APIs, has embraced allowing voice features to be a collaborative part of any application. We look forward to our continued work launching and assisting service providers of all tiers. It is an exciting time of creativity and integration in telecommunications.

 

Sylantro Systems, the leading provider of multiplay application feature servers, and the Thomas Howe Company, hosted a mashup contest at the Global Summit 2007, where winners had the opportunity to present their new applications before an audience of potential customers consisting of CTOs and CEOs of top ILECs, PTTs, IXCs, CLECs and other service providers.

 

"We are excited to announce VoIP Logic’s selection as a top three finalist in this contest," said Shirish Andhare, vice president, product marketing, Sylantro Systems. "The VoIP Logic team’s entry demonstrated what telephony mashups are all about. By integrating text-messaging, one of the most pervasive and device agnostic interfaces on mobile phones today, with the Synapps API, they opened up a whole new mobile use case scenario for enabling users to manage their telephony capabilities remotely. The application demonstrated a clear business value proposition for the mobile worker and the power of the VoIP Logic Cortex platform."

 

The Sylantro Global Summit is an annual gathering of service providers and communications executives from around the world focused on addressing carrier transformation. Attendees heard the latest on hosted voice, mobility and Web services from service providers and Sylantro partners and saw the latest in applications and listen to real world case studies all in an intimate, high touch atmosphere.

VoIP Logic, through Cortex, provides innovative integration and service deployment assistance to service providers that are unleashing the potential of this new breed of exciting and 'mashed up' services.
