Aumtech Joins Sonus Networks' Open Services Partner Alliance

Sonus Networks, a provider in carrier-class packet telephony solutions, today announced that it has expanded its Open Services Partner Alliance* (OSPA) with the addition of Aumtech, Inc. This newest member of the OSPA brings to the Alliance significant expertise in the critical area of enhanced data and voice services.

With more than 20 participating vendors, the OSPA allows carriers, application service providers (ASPs), third party independent service developers (ISDs) and telephony system software providers to rapidly develop and deliver competitive services and applications based on the Sonus Networks Open Services Architecture* (OSA).

"The ability to rapidly create and deploy new, value-added services is   undoubtedly the most significant benefit of building converged packet networks," commented Gary Rogers, Sonus' vice president of sales and marketing. "We're very excited that Aumtech has joined the Alliance, and look forward to working with them to offer carriers innovative services that leverage the integration of the voice and data worlds."

"Aumtech and Sonus customers will all benefit from our partnership with Sonus," said Madhav Bhide, president of Aumtech. "The combination of our technologies gives our customers the competitive edge, with a customizable platform that is highly scalable and remarkably cost effective. We believe that Sonus offers an exceptional suite of carrier-class packet telephony solutions, and we are ready to deliver the adjunct services in the voice over packet network today."

Aumtech's Responsive Communication Suite (ARC) suite is next-generation software for creating, managing and evolving information delivery solutions. In conjunction with Sonus' OSA, Aumtech's ARC seamlessly integrates telephony, voice, computer, web, multimedia and intelligent network technologies to deliver a range of strategic service provider capabilities, such as interactive voice response, auto attendant, audiotex, paging, fax-on-demand, fax broadcasting and more.
