 TMCnet Contributing Editor
Coversant, provider of inter-enterprise Collaborative Messaging software, is all set to introduce SoapBox Platform 2007 for deploying highly scalable collaborative IM solutions.
SoapBox Platform 2007 comes with updates to the company’s flagship SoapBox Server and the SoapBox Studio suite of software development kits. The SoapBox Platform is essential for independent software vendors (ISVs), Internet service providers (ISPs) to build community-driven web applications or mobile service offerings for social networking, online auction, online community, and other Web 2.0 destinations.
SoapBox Platform 2007 also supports increased numbers of federated servers across more domains to promote secure collaboration across business boundaries to company’s external customers, partners, and suppliers.
According to the news release, SoapBox Platform 2007 comprises of three SoapBox Server options (Express, Standard, and Enterprise), two SoapBox Communicator options (Desktop or Mobile), and SoapBox Studio that includes seven open source software development kits for software developer productivity.
SoapBox Platform 2007 if combined with SoapBox Server offers access and policy management capabilities with data encryption, ideal for security-conscious public and private sector organizations.
“The need for IM in the always-on enterprise is evolving — yet other providers are not stepping up to the challenge of this marketplace. Customers are demanding support for more collaborative processes, among more workers, across more domains, without geographic borders — but with no loss in performance,” said Jason Frankel, CEO of Coversant. “We have answered the market’s demand for a turnkey way to build secure collaboration into presence-aware applications that are interconnected and interoperable with today’s heterogeneous environments.”
Coversant claims that SoapBox Platform 2007 is the most advanced platform on which to build and administer future-proof messaging applications.
Coversant delivers inter-enterprise presence-based Collaborative Messaging (CM) software. Its CM technology is the future of today’s Enterprise Instant Messaging (EIM).
Seattle-based RIPL Corp., an operator of next-generation social networking applications, has opted for the SoapBox Platform 2007 as its collaborative messaging solution of choice. “We agreed on the Coversant platform after determining it was the lowest cost to own and operate, both per server and per user,” said Bill Messing, CEO of RIPL. “They are worlds ahead of the competitors we evaluated in both scalability and responsiveness, and we can see them coming to dominate their market within several years.”
