Construction needs cloud flexibility
Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

AOL invites developers to enhance VoIP service

AOL has launched the Open AIM Phoneline initiative saying that "device manufacturers and voice application developers alike are invited to create new applications and tools that will extend the value and functionality of the AIM Phoneline service, and introduce new features and peripherals to more than 43 million US AIM users."
Three new application programming interfaces (APIs) will be introduced later this year that will give developers and manufacturers the ability to:
- Personalise the AIM Phoneline service by adding ringback tones and unique ring tones for frequent callers;
- Enable a wide variety of USB devices such as speakerphones and phone adapters that will allow standard cordless phones to initiate and receive calls with the AIM Phoneline service;
- Build new call management functionality into the AIM Phoneline service such as context and relevance-based call handling that could treat each call on the basis of rules that use Caller ID, online presence, calendar activities and more.
At the Fall VON 2006 event in Boston next week AOL plans to showcase applications using these APIs from iotum and MyNuMo,. Iotum is a Voice 2.0 company that will show intelligent handling of incoming calls using its Relevance Engine. MyNuMo is an online content community that enables artists to create, show, and sell digital content. It will demonstrate ringback tones. Also Mvox Technologies will demonstrate examples of its handsfree and wireless MV900 and USB MV100 speakerphones.
AOL also announced the Open AIM Phoneline Developers' Challenge, a competition in which the applications judged to be "the most innovative and useful applications that will enhance the AIM Phoneline experience," will be awarded prizes: $US3,500 for first place and $US1,000 for second place. The contest will run from September 11 to November 30, 2006 and the winner will be announced by January 31, 2007. Details at www.aimphoneline.com/developers.
