IPcelerate has introduced Webur for the iPhone and iPod Touch, a so-called “innovative” business telephony experience for the mobile user.

 

This latest offering from Carrollton, Texas-based IPcelerate (News - Alert) is built on the new NIPA 2.0 Mobile Thin Client and Web Services module. Webur offers a suite of communications, socialization and collaborative solutions, according to company officials.

 

Additionally, it delivers a wide range of capabilities for the mobile user. With Webur, users can create and manage personal and corporate groups that are used for messaging, alerting, recording, conferencing, dial-out and social presence.

 

“Webur gives the mobile user the freedom to create personal or corporate contact groups that can be used for messaging, dial-out, pre-programmed conferences, paging, alerting, notification – the full suite of corporate communications capabilities provided by unified communications,” said Alok Jain, chief technology officer of IPcelerate.

 

With the help of Webur, users can create, send and manage advanced multi-media messages – using text, audio, image, and location-based information – from their iPhone (News - Alert), said Jain.

 

Moreover, service providers and partners can select to host Webur services, creating recurring revenue streams for themselves, said officials. Company officials said that by providing Webur in a hosted environment, partners can offer subscription-based or usage-based services for their customers.

 

Further, partners can deliver business-oriented communications solutions such as recording of mobile calls, mobile-initiated pre-programmed conferences, mass alert notifications, and dial-out applications.

 

“With Webur, we wanted to create next generation revenue services for our partners, for service providers, centered around extending critical capabilities like messaging, recording, conferencing, and social presence for the mobile user,” said Kevin Brown, CEO and president of IPcelerate.

 

Additionally, the companies that have deployed corporate unified communications internally – on-premise – can use Webur to extend their UC features and experience to the mobile user.

 

Brown indicated that in the coming months, the company plans to introduce future applications for the iPhone to further enhance the mobile user experience and tie back to existing corporate infrastructure investments already in place.
