License-free test clients for IVR Visual Voicemail (VVM) are being offered to all mobile operators by Communology
OMTP-compliant client software supports leading Visual Voicemail systems
Cologne, Germany; August 17, 2010: Communology, a company specialising in mobile application development, is offering mobile operators license-free test clients for Visual Voicemail (VVM). Companies can use them for internal tests and demos and quickly and effectively ascertain which server configurations are required for implementing VVM services on their networks.
“Existing voicemail services no longer meet the requirements of high-end users, and it comes as no surprise that Visual Voicemail is becoming increasingly popular,” says Communology CEO, Thomas Kähler. “Anyone who has seen VVM on a friend’s iPhone wants to use it as well. Mobile operators are faced with the challenge of introducing VVM as quickly as possible and adapting existing server systems. We launched our licence-free test apps with exactly that in mind.”

For the voicemail transcription, Communology is flexible to partner with leading solution providers following mobile operator’s request.

uService
Ubiquitous Service Infrastructure for the Mobile Super Prosumer
Das Ziel des Projekts uService ist die Entwicklung von Werkzeugen und einer Infrastruktur, sodass Endnutzer u.a. mit ihren Handys mobile Dienste für sich und andere Nutzer erstellen können. Dienste, die auf diese Weise von Nutzern für Nutzer erstellt werden, sind typischerweise stark auf einen Anwendungsbereich fokussiert und adressieren jeweils eine bestimmte Zielgruppe. Die Vision des Projekts ist, dass mit den Werkzeugen und der Infrastruktur aus diesem Projekt die bisherigen reinen Konsumenten (Consumer) mobiler Dienste selbst auch zu Produzenten (Producer) und Anbietern (Provider) solcher Dienste werden, sogenannte „mobile Super-Prosumer“. Auf diese Weise wird ein neuartiges, weltumspannendes nutzergetriebenes Netz von dynamischen Diensten und Inhalten entstehen. Aus der Vielfalt der möglichen Anwendungsgebiete untersucht das Projekt den Bereich der individuellen Gesundheitsvorsorge durch Sport, insbesondere Laufen.
