Deployment of Enterprise Mashups

I was in a meeting with one of our most exciting clients yesterday, and we were planning the deployment of the Enterprise Voice Mashup we are creating for them. As we discussed the options for testing, cut-over and redundancy, it occurred to me how many advantages Voice Mashups have over traditional voice applications [...]

B to B or not to BT

With abject apologies to the Bard for the title of this post, we have been having terrific discussions regarding British Telecom’s 21cn API as it relates to the business class mashup revolution. These discussions always include thoughts on the evolution of Telcos, agile Enterprise focused business processes, as well as the [...]

Grown up Mashups

Let me take a minute to catch our non-technical audience up on call state (this is for you, Mom.) When writing a voice application, you often have to worry about what [...]

In this corner, Voice Mashups…

And in the other corner, weighing eight hundred pounds, the Avaya avenger, the King of the Ring, the Communications Enabled Business Process.
You might be aware of Avaya’s Communication Enabled Business Process. If you are not, it’s Avaya’s response to the need for every enterprise to integrate real time communications into the business process. [...]

Voice Mashups Inspire Me

To be clear about this, although I am an engineer by training, upbringing and general demeanor, my business is far from a hobby or a science experiment. That’s why I’m concentrating on voice mashups. I’ve got four kids to put through college.
I caught a recent blog post from Ike Elliot about Voice [...]
