NewStep Networks Inc., a market and technology leader in
convergence solutions for carriers and enterprises and member of
Oracle PartnerNetwork, has integrated its seamless real-time
communications session management capabilities with Oracle(R)
Communication and Mobility Server, a component of the Oracle Service
Delivery Platform (SDP) and Oracle Fusion Middleware. Together the
solutions offer converged voice, video, presence and data
communications services to customers looking to leverage multiple
service network capabilities and enhance end user communications
experiences.
"We are proud to be working with Oracle and leveraging the open,
standards-based Oracle SDP to further enable the concept-to-cash
lifecycle. Collectively, we can offer a comprehensive convergence
solution, providing application and service control, independent of
underlying network and access technologies," said Shannon Bell, vice
president of product management at NewStep. "The open, standards-based
platform that Oracle provides, coupled with NewStep´s session control,
allows service providers and enterprises to provide a presence-aware,
cohesive communications experience to their customers, as part of an
overall unified communications offering."
Extending Oracle Fusion Middleware, the Oracle SDP is a
comprehensive, standards-based software environment for creating new
IP-based communications services. NewStep plans to leverage the Oracle
SDP, starting with the Oracle Communication and Mobility Server, to
deliver its services within deployment architectures for mobile and
fixed networks, legacy and IP-based. Collaborating with Oracle
provides NewStep with the opportunity to include its Converged
Services Node (CSN) software in environments where the Oracle SDP is
already deployed or being deployed. CSN 3.5, NewStep´s
industry-standard convergence solution, integrates with enterprise
applications and uses advanced presence capabilities to offer a range
of converged communication services, including:
-- Single Number
-- Simultaneous and Sequential Ringing
-- Presence-Based Routing of Calls
-- Optimal Call Routing
-- One Button Transfer
-- Dual Mode Cellular/WiFi (VCC) handoff
-- Public Hotspot Roaming
Oracle Communication and Mobility Server is a carrier-grade
application environment for the development, deployment and management
of multimedia and real-time communications applications. Together with
Oracle Communication and Mobility Server, NewStep can enhance the
converged communications experience using an integrated,
signaling-based centralized presence solution that enables service
providers to deliver enterprise seamless mobility to customers.
Additionally, the solutions provide advanced call routing based on a
specific user´s presence - i.e. is the user at his/her desk - and then
steering the call to either the soft client or a desk phone, providing
users with increased flexibility and control over when and where they
can be reached.
Service delivery is incorporated into a complete end-to-end set of
operating and business support systems to quickly realize revenue. The
Oracle SDP provides the ability to automate end-to-end business
processes that address the complete services lifecycle from creation,
deployment, selling, provisioning, management, billing and trouble
resolution.
"Delivering converged services that blend the Information
Technology and communications worlds through standards-based,
carrier-grade platforms and innovative third party applications is
core to Oracle´s strategy," said Vittorio Viarengo, vice president,
product development, Oracle Fusion Middleware. "NewStep´s Converged
Services Node software is a complement to the Oracle SDP and further
enables service providers to bring differentiated services to market
rapidly."
NewStep Networks and Oracle will present demonstrations of their
complementary solutions during Mobile World Congress, February 11 to
14, at the Fira de Barcelona.
