Jabber XCP 5.1 Gives Extensible Messaging and Presence a Boost; Upgrades Add Dynamic Web Meetings and Event Agents, HTTP Binding, and More Security Options

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2006--Jabber, Inc. today announced the 5.1 release of the Jabber Extensible Communications Platform (Jabber XCP). Along with its standard enterprise and carrier-grade instant messaging (IM), multi-user chat, and highly programmable presence platform, Jabber XCP has added:

-- A new Java-script client that leverages HTTP Binding, Jabber Messenger for the Web 5.0. (Details of Jabber Messenger for the Web 5.0 will be made available on July 26).

“For example, in call centers, EventBroker agents filter customer queries to notify support reps of known solutions to live issues, or alert supervisors to escalating problems.”

-- Out-of-the-box integration with Adobe's Macromedia(R) Breeze(R) software. Breeze customers can initiate part or all of the collaboration suite's rich functionality from within Jabber XCP chat sessions or contact lists.

-- Certificate-based authentication using x.509 certificates.

-- Support for Oracle 10G, DB2 8, and PostgreSQL 8 databases.

-- Support for HTTP Binding, a more responsive and reliable method of communicating with zero-footprint (Web/browser-based) Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) clients than HTTP Polling.

-- Dynamic registration of new EventBroker components. These software agents, which apply business logic to the ordinary flow of messages, no longer require administrator intervention to ensure each new component is configured properly.

"EventBroker components are persistent software agents that filter IM and other Extensible Markup Language (XML) traffic for rogue content and scan message streams to insert additional context," said Dave Uhlir, vice president of marketing at Jabber, Inc. "For example, in call centers, EventBroker agents filter customer queries to notify support reps of known solutions to live issues, or alert supervisors to escalating problems."

On HTTP Binding, Uhlir continued that, "The ability to support scalable and feature-rich zero-footprint clients and presence-enabled Web portals is of considerable interest amongst our government customers as well as among many service providers who have indicated that what we have achieved is a significant and not easily replicated industry breakthrough."
