Vayusphere Integrates IBM® Instant Messaging
Solution with Enterprise Applications
Closed Loop Instant Response Solution Connects
Enterprise Applications to Distributed Workers Using IBM Lotus
Sametime®, Drives Down Costs of Delayed Response
Mountain View, CA, August 27, 2002 - Vayusphere, Inc., the
leading provider of Instant Response (IR) software and solutions,
announced today that it has integrated Vayusphere Instant
Response Server (IRiS) with IBM's real-time collaboration
software, Sametime, and has joined the IBM PartnerWorld®
Program.
Vayusphere IRiS enables companies with large distributed
work forces to rapidly resolve mission-critical business problems
where the cost of delayed response is high. Vayusphere IRiS
enables Sametime customers to connect event-driven enterprise
applications to distributed workers using any desktop or mobile
device for which a Sametime client is available. Sametime
is in use at 60 Global Fortune 100 companies and has over
seven million corporate users worldwide.
"Organizations recognize instant messaging as a valuable
platform for connecting distributed teams. The Sametime software's
high rate of adoption demonstrates the need for tools that
enable employees and teams to collaborate," said Michael
Loria, director of Advanced Collaboration, IBM Lotus Software.
"The integration of Vayusphere IRiS and Lotus Sametime
expands this collaboration further to include line of business
applications, which is a valuable component of the Sametime
market strategy."
"We are pleased to be a member of the IBM PartnerWorld
Program," said Pushpendra Mohta, Vayusphere's CEO. "Teaming
with IBM further extends our position as the leading provider
of Instant Response software and solutions for the real-time
enterprise. Lotus Sametime is tremendously successful in the
enterprise for IM communications and now with Vayusphere IRiS,
Sametime users can reduce transaction times of high value
business processes, enjoy the benefits of receiving notifications
from enterprise applications and being able to communicate
with enterprise applications through their Sametime IM clients."
Vayusphere IRiS enables companies with large distributed
work forces to rapidly resolve mission-critical business problems
where the cost of delayed response is high. IRiS is particularly
appropriate for reducing costs of IT Help Desk, field service,
field maintenance and repair, field sales, and supply chain
event management for companies in the Financial Services,
Healthcare, Law Enforcement, Manufacturing, Telecom, Transportation
and Utilities industries.
Vayusphere IRiS is the industry's first platform to combine
a Presence, Availability and Location (PAL) Server; Response
Agent Server; Instant Messaging and Enterprise Application
Integration capabilities in a single integrated platform.
This unique combination enables Vayusphere IRiS to perform
two powerful functions:
- IRiS enables enterprise applications to automatically
and intelligently find and notify distributed workers of
business problems that require instant response. IRiS' unique
Presence, Availability and Location (PAL) Server dynamically
tracks workers' ability to respond to problems using real-time
data about where they are, what they are doing and whether
or not they are qualified to solve the problem. IRiS' PAL
server can track and aggregate PAL information from multiple
sources including mobile devices and GPS tracking systems.
In this way, IRiS ensures that the right person is always
working on the right problem at the right time. IRiS notifies
selected workers, in real-time, using secure instant messages
sent to their desktop, PDA, pager or phone. IRiS only notifies
enterprise workers that it knows are present and available
to respond.
- IRiS enables workers to simultaneously collaborate with
enterprise applications and co-workers, remotely and in
real-time, in order to rapidly investigate and resolve business
problems. IRiS' unique Response Agent Server manages bi-directional
interactions between enterprise applications and enterprise
workers. Response Agents enable mobile workers to interact
with enterprise applications remotely using instant messages
sent from a single, lightweight client running on any Instant
Messaging-enabled desktop or mobile device. Customers may
develop Response Agents using popular development platforms
such as J2EE and Microsoft .NET.
By enabling both application-push (find and notify) and worker-pull
(investigate and resolve) interactions between enterprise
applications and distributed workers, Vayusphere provides
the industry's first software platform for closed-loop Instant
Response.
