JAJAH exceeds 1B calls connected

My blog's focus is the emerging communication space, its many entrepreneurs who are changing telecom and more specifically business development and related strategies in the space. It is really not a place of product comparison. In keeping with this, the post referred to above centered around the trend of first launching a consumer business and then leveraging that towards a platform/partner approach for long term scale. Ooma and Jajah are both solid data points of this trend - as I may add is Mobivox which in the last year successfully vectored its voice activated services business towards platform, and continues to actively deploy partners around the world. I am proud to be associated with the team at Mobivox that has together engineered these accomplishments.

It should also be added that - to the credit of the many innovative entrepreneurs in this emerging comm space - the Voice Platform business has proliferated and is increasingly segmented. Jajah, Ifbyphone, Voxeo, Mobivox (just to name a few of many) can all be considered voice platform businesses or plays, but are not necessarily direct competitors of one another. In fact, Mobivox - which delivers market leading voice activation applications from the cloud - and Jajah know each other well and have done business together. And by visiting the Voxeo and Ifbyphone websites, one could interpret a similar services set, yet they are great business partners. Both of these examples are proof points that we are in a world of co-opetition, where an overlap of services offered is often an opportunity to partner for success, rather than a calling to compete.
