Jamcracker (jamcracker.com), an on-demand services delivery provider, and VoIP application software provider BroadSoft (broadsoft.com) have recently formed a partnership to enable service providers to offer unified communications services to their customers.

By integrating the Jamcracker Services Delivery Network with BroadSoft's BroadWorks platform, BroadWorks can sell its VoIP capabilities as standalone services or bundled with third-party collaboration services from the Jamcracker catalog. The companies will demonstrate this joint solution at the BroadSoft Connections 2007 Executive Users Conference in Phoenix, Arizona this week.

The partnership enables communications and IT service providers to resell any or all of their existing BroadWorks voice applications and solutions as an on-demand service offering, including hosted PBX, IP Centrex, mobile PBX, SIP and IP Trunking and residential broadband services. BroadWorks features can be bundled with additional collaboration and communications services provisioned from the JSDN, such as Microsoft Exchange, BlackBerry and GoodLink wireless messaging, WebExR conferencing, Microsoft Office Communication Server and McAfee security.

Steve Crawford, VP of marketing for Jamcracker, said: "The integration and availability of BroadSoft's IP-based voice capabilities on the Jamcracker Services Delivery Network is a big boost for carriers that have deployed BroadWorks and for those who currently lack VoIP capabilities. By offering best-of-breed VoIP capabilities from BroadSoft, Jamcracker now provides carriers with a fully integrated and fully loaded solution for delivering converged voice and on-demand application bundles."
