CommuniGate Adds Flash Interface

CommuniGate Systems this week delivered a new user interface based on Adobe's Flash and Flex technology to make it easier for users to interact with its communications and collaboration tools.

CommuniGate Pro combines voice-over-IP, e-mail, instant messaging, chat and groupware capabilities into a single client interface. CommuniGate sells the software directly to enterprises but also to carriers and service providers.

The new Flash-based interface, dubbed Pronto, enables users to access e-mail and stored data, schedule meetings and call colleagues from the integrated Pronto Interface. The interface can be accessed from any Web browser without a client-software download.Pronto interfaces with CommuniGate Pro using the XIMSS API (XML Interface for Messaging, Scheduling, and Signaling). This revolutionary API enables ISPs and enterprises to rapidly develop and design UIs and Web portals without having to contend with complex coding or protocol requirements.

The CommuniGate Pro Enterprise Suite, which included Pronto, is available today, starting at $849 for 25 users.
