Unified Communications (UC) Federation
The Challenge: UC Not So Unified
Chances are your network looks more like the United Nations than Unified Communications, with a mix of different vendor solutions that include legacy PBX and IP PBX systems, videoconferencing applications, messaging platforms, business productivity tools and more.
Thrupoint UC Federation for Simple, Cost Effective Integration
Complexity and high costs are the two biggest barriers to building a Unified Communications solution for your business. But Thrupoint’s UC Federation is a smart, fast way to unify your existing voice, video, messaging and business applications. Benefits include:
- Preserve existing communications infrastructure & device investments
- Rapidly deploy new services over existing voice, video and messaging architectures
- Improve user productivity through innovative user experiences
- Centralize and simplify network routing and administration
Flexible Adaptation for Interoperability
Thrupoint solves the interoperability problem by using flexible, modular adapters that bridge communications between different vendor devices and applications.
Because they’re flexible, Thrupoint adapters can be as simple or as complex as you need: from standard SIP message manipulation to product-specific adapters to highly customized adapters for unique multimedia session flows. And because they’re modular, Thrupoint adapters can be easily modified, added and removed without affecting the rest of your network.
Thrupoint helps you quickly achieve Unified Communications with the network you have today:
- Connects multivendor systems through simple scripts for SIP interoperability
- Adapts communications at a deeper level than SIP header manipulation to support multivendor solutions, including dynamic chaining of adapters for complex multimedia session flows
- Enables session richness by allowing additional adapters to be developed on the fly so new applications can be deployed in a matter of days
Voice Federation
Capabilities at a Glance
With UC Federation from Thrupoint, you can seamlessly connect multi-vendor PBX systems and integrate PBX-based voice services into your messaging platforms and videoconferencing applications—all without upgrading or adding new features to your existing PBX systems. Thrupoint’s adapter-based approach enables businesses to reap the cost benefits of unified voice services—on-net routing, centralized dial plans, trunk consolidation and simplified PBX management—cap their investments in PBX systems and keep their existing phone systems.
Video Federation
Capabilities at a Glance
As the enterprise demand for video-based communications rises, so does the complexity of delivering consistent video services to a wide variety of endpoints such as desktops, video phones, smartphones and tablets. Thrupoint’s adapter-based technology helps businesses consolidate their video systems and provide unified access to multi-vendor video services and applications from a variety of video-enabled endpoints. In addition, Thrupoint’s robust session sequencing capabilities allow enterprises to incorporate video transcoding into their session flow for improved video quality and performance. Thrupoint’s UC Federation solution even supports clientless video services via WebRTC for fast, effective video viewing from any Web-enabled device.
Instant Messaging and Presence Integration
Capabilities at a Glance
Although most companies are choosing to standardize on a single platform for instant messaging and presence, the introduction of new types of applications, clients and devices into the network can pose integration challenges. For example, a travelling worker would benefit from the ability to send instant messages and view presence directly from his smartphone. Similarly, an office-based user who conducts most of her work within corporate business and social applications would benefit from the ability to hover over a colleague’s name within an application to see the person’s presence status and send an instant message. Thrupoint addresses use cases such as these by enabling integration of existing presence and messaging platforms, such as Microsoft Lync or Cisco Jabber.
