San Francisco, CA and Vancouver, Canada - June
11, 2002 - Indigo Software, a leader in
real-time communications software development based on Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP), and Convedia Corporation, a leading provider of multi-protocol
media servers, announced today they have entered into a partnership that
will deliver to service providers and enterprises the ability to make
use of presence information in multimedia collaborative applications.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement, Indigo
and Convedia are working closely to ensure seamless support of Convedia's
CMS-1000 and CMS-6000 Media Servers by the Indigo Presence Server SDKTM.
Indigo's Java presence software toolkits and Convedia's SIP enabled media
servers will be combined in order to support presence-based conferencing
applications never before possible. One key feature of the united offerings
will be automatic conference set-up as soon as all desired participants
are available, as denoted by their "presence status". This is facilitated
by a unique management of users' context information—online status,
availability to communicate, media capabilities, etc.—achieved by
the Indigo presence server along with the Indigo SIP proxy server.
"Our support for prominent media servers such as
the Convedia CMS-1000 and CMS-6000 underscores the value Indigo products
bring to the market," said Edward Keegan, Head of Business Development
EMEA, Indigo Software. "The combination of Indigo's applications and Convedia's
media processing platform is a winning combination for developers of leading
edge services."
"Service
providers and large enterprises must be able to combine best in class
components from multiple vendors quickly and seamlessly if they are
to take advantage of the power offered by next generation networks",
said Grant Henderson, co-founder and EVP Marketing & Strategy, Convedia.
"The Indigo/Convedia partnership delivers an integrated, fully tested
solution that increases functionality, promotes new enhanced services,
and offers presence-enabled conferencing at a reasonable price."
