Pactolus Launches Educational Organizations for IP Service Developers
By Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Associate Editor
VoIP solutions provider Pactolus announced today the launch of its Professional Services and Education Services organizations.
The two organizations were set up to serve carriers and service providers using Pactolus’ SIPware services and/or the RapidFLEX platform.
To go along with the mission of the new organizations, Pactolus also introduced “an innovative, interactive new education curriculum that simplifies mastery and retention of next generation IP service creation skills.”
Developers using the RapidFLEX platform to create innovative services now have access to a curriculum that accelerates “the development of distinctive SIP and IMS-based applications that can integrate existing subscriber databases, new content sources, and new service features incorporating presence and media richness,” Pactolus said in a press release.
“This curriculum is easily retained, and moves beyond instruction to provide our customers with the IP service creation confidence and skills depth to shape new generations of communications services,” explained Marcus Scott, Pactolus’ senior technical trainer, in a statement.
Pactolus noted in its announcement that about 100 revenue-generating services (and new features for existing services) have been created by carriers using RapidFLEX—including interactive voice response, audio conferencing, and tools for integrating legacy TDM databases into IP frameworks.
The company’s CTO, David Horton, commented in a statement that Pactolus founded the new organizations and curriculum as a response to increased demand for new, enhanced services.
“These new organizations help our customers to efficiently leverage Pactolus' uniquely-powerful pure IP services framework and domain expertise, and bring innovation to the full range of end points, subscribers and networks that are now coming within the service provider's market reach,” he said.
