GAITHERSBURG, Md., Feb. 21, 2017
(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BroadSoft, Inc. (NASDAQ:BSFT), a
global unified communication software as a service (UCaaS) leader,
today announced two significant enhancements to its bMobile
advanced mobility solution: Artificial intelligence capabilities
and Apple CallKit support for BroadSoft Business UC-One mobile
apps that provide business users with a superior mobile user
experience over any device, network or location and unlocks new
revenue opportunities for Mobile Operators.
A recent BroadSoft survey shows that 89%
of respondents believe that native mobile integration is an
important requirement for mobile solutions. The enhanced
capabilities of BroadSoft bMobile enable companies to reorient
their business around mobility, while allowing service providers
and mobile operators to maximize LTE investments and capture new
opportunities by delivering revenue generating mobile-first
business unified communications capabilities.
BroadSoft Hub Adds
Artificial Intelligence To UC-One Connect Mobile
App
Hub is a BroadSoft application with built-in contextual
intelligence for real-time access to the files, notes and content
relevant to each interaction - making meetings and conversations
more productive. By integrating with UC-One Connect, Hub can
retrieve and display relevant information from popular cloud
applications such as files, emails and social media updates to
on-the-move mobile device users based on who the user is talking to
or messaging.

Support for Apple iOS
CallKit for UC-One
bMobile now delivers support for Apple iOS CallKit
for UC-One mobile apps, providing business users with a
native user experience for unified communications apps on their iOS
device. Tightly integrating UC capabilities with the native iPhone
user interface offers a superior mobile experience that delivers
calling and advanced business features directly from the iPhone. As
a result, business users are able to:
- Answer a UC-One call with a single
swipe when their iPhone is locked
- Prioritize between a UC-One VoIP
call and an incoming native call received on their iPhone
- Use UC-One mid-call services such as
hold, transfer and conference while on an iPhone
- Make a UC-One call directly from
their iPhone's contact list
"BroadSoft remains focused on designing features
and applications that make it easier for workers to be productive
while mobile," said Scott Hoffpauir, chief technology officer,
BroadSoft. "With our bMobile capabilities, BroadSoft delivers a
superior and more native mobile user experience with embedded
multi-device, multi-identity advanced business calling features and
capabilities."
Last year, a number of mobile operators integrated
their mobile-first solutions with the BroadSoft Business
BroadWorks® platform including Verizon One
Talk and Vodafone One Net Business. bMobile capabilities
ensure business owners and their employees have a true mobile-first
communications solution, spanning smartphones, desk phones and
tablets, allowing them to do business anywhere and most importantly
stay connected to their customers wherever they are located.
