IBM has designed new software to help telecommunications service providers in the Middle East region to develop and deploy new, revenue-generating services more quickly and cost effectively.
IBM’s WebSphere Telecom Application Server Version 1.2 provides an environment enabling developers to explore various innovations and develop more customer-oriented services, which, in turn, allows the telecom operators to implement new applications more easily and better serve their customers’ needs.
The product is capable of accelerating the software development process because it is based on Java and industry standards. This expands the pool of talent that can more easily develop new telecom and e-business applications to include the more than three million programmers worldwide who are proficient in Java.
The product is based on WebSphere Application Server, which uses Java 2 Enterprise Edition. The product's companion, The WebSphere Telecom Application Toolkit, which IBM is also introducing today, utilizes Java as well.
IBM WebSphere Telecom Application Server is a key component of IBM's Service Provider Delivery Environment (SPDE), an open, standards-based framework designed to give wireline and wireless service providers the flexibility to introduce new, revenue-generating voice, text and Internet services to their customers faster, easier and at a lower cost. — (menareport.com)
