About Millenigence

• Software technologies to enable delivery of data
  and applications to all converged communications
  endpoints
• Solutions for different brands of IP phones,
  PDAs, cell phones
• J2EE-based server platforms for application and
  endpoint provisioning
• We are located in Irvine, California

IP Phones in the Enterprise
5
Can Act as Data Terminals
6
IP Phone Applications

• IP phones use different languages and protocols
  for data applications Usually XML based but not
  standard
• Other endpoints mostly agree on WML or XHTML
• Development of converged applications for these
  devices is painful A comprehensive framework
  needed

7
Application Framework

• Application Server
• Development Tools
• Cross Device Translation
• Sales Tools

8

• Application Server
• Multiple device support
• Deployment and provisioning
• Interface with IP PBX
• User portal for web access

9
Support Multiple Devices

• Same

• Application
  Devices!

Java/J2EE Source Code

• package com.beta_airlines import
  com.millenigence.dashphone.  // use DashPhone
  API
• public class Menu1 extends HttpServlet      
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,
  HttpServletResponse resp)       
                                  Gs gs new
  Gs(req, resp, getServletConfig())
                  Dae page gs.getDae() //
  create a page
•                 page.setTitle(Flight
  Information")
• page.setPrompt(Beta Airlines)
• ArrayList menu new ArrayList()
•                 menu.add(URL
  "?pagemenu4",Flight Schedule")
                  menu.add(URL
  "?pagemenu2",Reservations")                
  menu.add(URL "?pagedefault",Customer
  Support")                 page.menu(menu)      
    // add menu entries to page                
  page.out()                   // send page to
  endpoint!

• Cross Device Translation
• Middleware completely transparent
• Extend the reach of existing applications

Cross XML Proxy (CXP)
22
Extending the Reach of Apps

• Alcatels Unified Communications
• on Cisco
• and Avaya

23

• Sales Tools
• No programming just prototypes
• Quick and easy
• Multiple skins
• Stand alone demos

Conclusion

• Using converged communication endpoints such as
  IP phones as data devices is becoming reality
• True convergence happens at the application level
• A comprehensive XML-based framework like
  DashPhone makes development, deployment, and
  multiple device support much easier
