New Conversation APIs from Alcatel-Lucent (Part 1 of 2)
Communications are evolving from a standalone service to a set of critical features that will be embedded into everything - appliances, applications, browsers, games, web-site, machines and more. APIs are the delivery mechanism that will make that happen and are the currency of today's data communication driven economy. Alcatel-Lucent has introduced a set of powerful New Conversation APIs enabling Service Providers to rapidly innovate on their IMS communications platform and in doing so bridge telecom and web services.
