Lincolnshire, IL – June 1, 2007 – Sphere Communications announced today that they will join The451 at their Software Business Transformation Summit, June 5th and 6th at the JW Marriott in San Francisco. The summit will host application development executives, ISVs, software infrastructure vendors, and other industry experts where they will discuss key enterprise trends and opportunities that are shaping business through the use of technology.
An important industry transformation for IP telephony, IP PBX, and unified communications is how these capabilities will be addressed in an enterprise SOA. Landry will join other industry experts to discuss the opportunities that service-oriented communications presents for an enterprise SOA.
“Service Oriented Communications is critical for enterprises that are thinking about how communications are part of their business processes,” said Todd Landry, SVP at Sphere Communications, “People-to-people collaboration is crucial to business decision making – it must be considered in the business process and as part of SOA planning.”
Sphere’s market leading approach with Sphericall, its services-oriented unified communications capabilities, distributed software architecture, and alignment with new enterprise business models is providing enterprises and ISVs with new opportunities. Application developers can now use the tools they are comfortable with to access the services of the Sphericall software, making it easy to add communications functions to business applications. ISV’s and Software Integrators are realizing the opportunity to create verticalized or purpose-built communications solutions. By leveraging a proven software application to provide the communications services applications developers don’t have to become experts in telecom protocols or proprietary APIs.
Sphere provides a Software Developers Kit that provides WSDLs (Web Service Definition Language) files, sample applications with source code, and an IP PBX simulator that includes the Web Services for developers to test against.
