Tata Communications launches next-gen UC platform jamvee

Tata Communications has announced the latest version of jamvee , its Unified Communications platform. Built on Tata Communications’ global tier 1 network, jamvee brings together any client software and device on a single platform. It is designed to bring easier intra and inter-company collaboration as employees, suppliers and customers can get together via any combination of audio, video or messaging and share content in groups - across any device or through a browser.

The jamvee Unified Communications platform has been designed with interoperability at its core, making communication and collaboration inside the organisation easier. Using open APIs such as WebRTC, jamvee allows users to use the same enterprise grade clients they use internally to communicate with external parties.

It is aimed at enhancing existing Unified Communications investments. In addition to traditional video conferencing or Telepresence, participants joining virtual meetings from their enterprise soft clients can leverage jamvee’s full audio, video, chat and content sharing capabilities. Its open customisable platform allows creative third party development on jamvee, as well as lets companies pick and choose additional Unified Communications tools that work best for them commercially.

John Hayduk, President and CTO, Tata Communications, says, “Delivering the ability to collaborate easily both internally and externally with customers and partners enables productivity improvements for businesses. Interoperability is key to this, and jamvee takes this to the next level. By providing an open and fully customisable foundation for future Unified Communications to be added, companies can realise the full growth potential of Unified Communications quicker and easier than ever – Unified Communications on your terms”.

Tata Communications has worked with technology partners including Acano and Synergy SKY to develop the new jamvee Unified Communications platform which now includes an always-on collaborative workspace where virtual teams can meet, share documents and show video in real-time.

O.J. Winge, CEO, Acano, says, “We are proud of our relationship with Tata Communications and what we have achieved. Jamvee combines interoperability and ease of use with the scale and resilience of Tata Communications’ tier 1 network. Co-workers, suppliers and customers at organisations around the globe will benefit from the collaboration opportunities now possible with jamvee.

Tata Communications will be showcasing its next generation jamveeat InfoComm 2014.
