JAJAH, a global communications company, is teaming up with Microsoft to launch a new IP service for enterprises.

 

Under the partnership, JAJAH’s SIP trunking services are now certified to work with Microsoft (News - Alert) Office Communications Servicer 2007 R2. Companies can now make high quality calls over JAJAH's IP PLatform in a cloud, without the need for an infrastructure upgrade, the company said. The move to connect with JAJAH’s (News - Alert) global carrier-grade IP network lets Microsoft OCS users make low-cost voice calls from their computers, IP phones or mobile phones to any device.

 

“The JAJAH qualification on Office Communications Server 2007 Release 2 is a clear indicator of the strength of JAJAH’s platform and quality as a carrier-grade SIP solutions provider,” said JAJAH CEO Trevor Healy (News - Alert), in a statement. “Enterprises across the world can implement VoIP and unified communication easily and cost effectively with Microsoft and JAJAH.”

 

JAJAH is one of four Microsoft-approved SIP Trunking providers in the world. The partnership marks the company’s entry into enterprise voice services.

 

R2, which was released in February, is designed to improve conferencing and voice capabilities. It reportedly is the first upgrade since OCS launched in October 2007, according to VON.

 

“The combination of JAJAH and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Release 2 gives enterprises a powerful and rich external telephony solution,” said Warren Barkley, Microsoft senior director unified communications in a statement. “JAJAH is a world leader in providing innovative telecommunications solutions to enterprises and consumers worldwide. We believe that they will bring a suite of services that will be interesting and valuable to our customers.”

 

JAJAH, which began as a Web-activated-telephony service, has evolved to a prominent communications platform, partnering with telecommunications and technology companies, carriers, mobile operators and enterprises such as Intel (News - Alert), Microsoft and Yahoo.

 

Mountain View, Calif.-based JAJAH offers next-generation telephony solutions for consumers and businesses. Leveraging a universal open telecommunications platform, JAJAH's managed services allow mobile operators, landline carriers, cable companies, technology companies and other businesses to adopt its voice solutions with minimal investment and time to market, the company said.

 

JAJAH recently made headlines when it teamed up with online dating services Match.com and eHarmony to use the company’s Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, platform to let prospective daters make anonymous voice calls to other love seekers. The new feature, part of JAJAH’s “Platform for Dating,” lets users get in touch with a possible match through an online voice call while keeping their personal contact information private.
