PR Newswire (US)
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network Computing
magazine named Interactive Intelligence Inc. (NASDAQ:ININ), its
"Editor's Choice" following a unified messaging comparative lab
test in which the company's unified communications software,
Communite(TM), beat out 3COM and Siemens. (Logo:

Computing, which qualified UM test products by requiring session
initiation protocol-compliance, selected Communite for its Editor's
Choice award based on the product's integration and IP
capabilities, according to the magazine's senior technology editor,
Sean Doherty. "Interactive Intelligence's Communite edged out
Siemens' Hi-Path for our Editor's Choice award, thanks to its tight
integration to Active Directory and Exchange," explained Doherty.
"And, because SIP is native to Communite, that system held its
ground the best when integrating with our Asterisk system."
According to Doherty, Communite was also the favorite because of
its "superior system and user management interfaces," and because
"it brought the best tools to bear on customizing and configuring
messaging." Interactive Intelligence offers Communite as a voice
mail replacement system particularly ideal for distributed
organizations. The product's features extend voice mail
functionality to include productivity and collaboration
capabilities, such as unified messaging, one-number "find-me/
follow-me," call screening, presence management, desktop faxing,
calendaring, and more. These pre-integrated features, combined with
Communite's innovative LDAP- compliant directory; an architecture
based on open standards such as SIP; and its unique "universal
ports" capability that enables organizations to deploy different
applications for different user needs all running on the same
platform, were designed to give customers the most flexible,
cost-effective, and scalable unified communications solutions on
the market. The unified communications market is set for growth,
according to a Radicati Group study cited by Doherty, which
projects convergence technologies such as VoIP and SIP to spur
revenue growth from $469 million in 2005, to $939 million in 2009
among PBX and telephony vendors, messaging software, voice mail
systems, and business process system providers. According to
Doherty, despite the many benefits of SIP, including its ability to
put more intelligence into end-points such as phones and PCs for
faster integration with business applications, as well as its
ability to reduce development time using standards-based
technology, "a large number of vendors have not moved down the SIP
path for unified messaging at all." A complete write-up based on
the UM test results, called "A La Carte Messaging," was published
in Network Computing magazine's October 2005 issue, which can be
