The integration uses the open Eclipse-based Lotus Sametime platform and the Lotus Sametime telephony conferencing service provider interface (TCSPI) to support the convergence of voice and data. According to the two companies, "Businesses can gain click-to-call access by implementing NEC's newly developed TCSPI interface plug-in software in the Univerge gateway module for Lotus software. Implementation of NEC's plug-in is made simple by the extensible framework of Lotus Sametime and its efficient operation through a centralized server...With IBM's Lotus Sametime 8.0 unified communications and collaboration platform and NEC's Univerge IP communication server, users will be able to find specialists quickly based on location and topic, and collaborate immediately through instant messaging or a VoIP phone conversation." They claim that the integration of Univerge with Lotus Sametime software will benefit healthcare facilities, the hospitality industry and educational organisations that have a need to communicate rapidly and immediately to resolve issues, collaborate or find the right specialist at the right time. The Univerge gateway module for IBM Lotus Sametime is likely to be the first of a number of integration product. NEC says it will "continue to leverage future IBM unified communications solutions that will benefit their customers worldwide." NEC's Univerge gateway module for IBM Lotus Sametime will be available in the US, Europe, Japan, and Australia in early April 2008. |
