Sylantro partners with Ribbit, hosts on Amazon

Sylantro Systems and BT-owned Ribbit announced a partnership Wednesday that will see Ribbit's Flash-based technology integrated with Sylantro's Synergy platform to create "rich voice applications." The combination of the two platforms will allow developers to create advanced Flash-based telephony applications that will offer simple, effective measuring and monetizing tools.

Sylantro also announced that it will join Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to offer the Synergy platform and Synapps web apps in the EC2 for developers who want to incorporate the rich voice and web apps within the resizable compute capacity environment of Amazon's cloud. In the Sylantro statement, the company claims accessing the Sylantro features through the cloud could significantly decrease cap ex for start-ups and incumbents alike.

Marco Limena, CEO of Sylantro, said more than 60 applications developed in Sylantro's Synapps "sandbox" will be displayed at this weeks Global Summit, a testimonial to the open API making it easy to work with third-party apps such as Ribbit.

"These applications offer a great deal of functionality, they are ready to be adopted for use immediately, and they can be adopted with a simple click-to-implement service," Limena said. "Traditionally, voice and other important technologies were views as vertical silos. Now, we must move away from that model toward integrated telephony platforms that provide productivity enhancement, not just cost containment."

Limena said the range of applications unveiled this week for purchase across the Sylantro carrier-grade service platform include health care, education and sales solutions that increase revenue and save money by optimizing communications with customers.
