Voxeo Talks

Today we are extremely pleased to announce our acquisition of Micromethod, a developer of SIP-based communication and collaboration software based in Beijing, China, and San Jose, CA. Micromethod CTO Wei Chen, now Chief Architect for Voxeo, reporting to CTO RJ Auburn, provided this video comment from the floor of SpeechTEK:

With the acquisition of Micromethod, we gain an Asian presence and also add three new products:

SIPMethod – an end-to-end platform for rapid development and deployment of SIP communication solutions. SIPMethod supports more than 30 Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), Java Specification Request (JSR), and W3C standards including SIP and HTTP Servlets, JAX-WS, JMX, and STUN. SIPMethod also supports converged SIP and HTTP applications, enabling flexible mashups of telephony, IM, presence, web 2.0, and SOAP/REST services and applications.

SIPoint – a comprehensive solution for SIP user collaboration, connectivity, routing, and messaging. SIPoint is built on the SIPMethod platform, includes SIP registrar, location, redirect, proxy, instant messaging, XCAP and presence services, adding support for 18 more IETF standards for SIMPLE, and OMA and 3GPP presence.

Horizon – a highly effective SIP firewall, NAT, and VPN solution. Horizon both enables secure SIP audio, video, and data connections and helps those connections traverse existing firewall and NAT implementations that block or break SIP-based collaboration. Horizon is also built on the SIPMethod platform. An H.323-compliant version of Horizon is also available.

You’ll see much more here on our blog site about these products in the weeks ahead. We’ve already incorporated Micromethod software in our new early access release to Prophecy 9 and will be offering much, much more in terms of integration in the future. In the meantime, you can read about SIP Servlet programming at the Micromethod developer portal or download Prophecy 9 for Mac OS X today and try it out yourself!

We welcome our new colleagues in both Beijing and San Jose and look forward to the incredible things we’ll be doing together!
