Tewksbury, MA, March 18, 2008 - BlueNote Networks announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC) Unified Communications (News - Alert) magazine (www.uc-mag.com) has named BlueNote Networks (News - Alert) SessionSuite Outbound Notification Solution Framework and Session Interaction Plugin Framework as recipients of the 2007 Product of the Year Award.

 

Outbound Notification Solution Framework (ON-SF) and Session Interaction Plugin Framework (SI-PF) are Web Service APIs that extend the capabilities of SessionSuite® from BlueNote Networks, resulting in the most comprehensive and innovative Web services-enabled IP telephony software available today. Powered by BlueNote's SessionSuite SOA Edition platform, SessionSuite Web services' multi-channel capabilities allow organizations to easily add outbound notification and voice interaction to any business application – thus leveraging all of the benefits of a Web services approach while extending the applications reach. Easy to implement, SessionSuite Web services also provide a powerful development framework for creating new applications or enhancing existing applications to improve customer reach, collaboration and overall business communications.

 

“Winning this award is a tremendous accomplishment for our company,” said Mark Ericson (News - Alert), director of product strategy for BlueNote Networks. “It offers further proof of the value that our premise-based solution delivers to our customers by combining Internet telephony with a rich business communications framework. Receiving the award also offers proof that we can leverage these features to reach beyond the enterprise, by extending outbound notification and IVR applications to the phone and other communication channels. These capabilities can be deployed for both inward-facing business processes such as notification and collaboration, and outward- facing applications such as transaction confirmation, travel changes, or proactively notifying customers of new opportunities.”
