IBM plans to launch in the second half of this year an API (application programming interface) for linking the Lotus Sametime enterprise instant messaging product to VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) platforms, mobile phones, and traditional office telephony systems.
The API is being used currently by a small number of partners who are working on early voice applications for Sametime, and IBM expects to make the API generally available to developers in 2005’s third or fourth quarter, says Ken Bisconti, vice president of IBM Workplace products.
“At this point, it has mostly been used in development of applications that haven’t yet shipped to market,” Bisconti says. “I expect that later this year you will see voice-enabled applications running on Sametime.”
The API has been designed to be used by independent software vendors, by providers of telephony equipment and services, such as network equipment vendors, wireless carriers, and telecom service providers, and by corporate developers within IT departments of Sametime clients.
