Dialogic Corp has licensed AT&T Corp’s Integrated Services Platform middleware and announced a program to develop and promote additional third party offerings based on the Enterprise Computer Telephony Forum S.100 application programming interface and Dialogic’s Signal Computing System Architecture. The intention, says Dialogic, is to speed the development of interoperable, multi-vendor voice and call processing applications for large telecommunications networks. The Parsippany, New Jersey-based company plans to promote AT&T’s Integrated Services Platform, a set of Unix-based middleware components, under the name modular Services Platform, mSP. This should be available early next year, it says. Dialogic will then recruit third party tool kit, application, integrator and system partners to create a set of S.100 offerings which will interwork with others conforming to the standard. The Enterprise Computer Telephony Forum was created by Dialogic, L M Ericsson Telefon AB, Digital Equipment Corp, Hewlett-Packard Co and Northern Telecom Ltd (CI No 2,648). It has developed S.100 as an open specification for the control and management of speech, media and call processing resources.
