Jajah Telephony Lands Yahoo as First Client
Having already integrated its VoIP services with a number of web-based social networks and other applications, Jajah is ready to take things to the next level. A partnership with Jangl revved up the infrastructure and implementation capabilities for both VoIP services, and an ad network has been the cherry on top of Jajah’s year in culmination.
But Jajah isn’t stopping there. In launching its new Managed Services, which is a turnkey telephony service that includes network services to billing, according to Alec Saunders. The new Managed Services offering is scheduled to launch tomorrow, and has Yahoo as its first client.
There aren’t too many details on how Yahoo will be incorporating the telephony services into its large umbrella, but Jajah offers things like SMS, payments, fraud detection and IVR, so there are a great number of ways in which Yahoo could layer in Jajah’s new Managed Services into some of its own applications, sites and tools.
In light of Yahoo’s ongoing debacle with the Microsoft-Yahoo acquisition, Yahoo could be hoping to incorporate some value-added features to its end users. This comes at a time when VoIP services are namely integrated into a number of web-based services and networks, so the overall acceptance level has increased since the days Google implemented click-to-call features. With more integration, mobile access, and an overall ease of use, the business ramifications for integrated VoIP features are also more executable in this day and age.
The larger trend is moving in this direction, with the resurgence of Phone.com, and even Ribbit’s all-inclusive service, which will be having an update of its own pretty soon. It’s certainly not a far leap for Jajah to move in this direction, and having Yahoo’s quality-centric online user experience will be good testing grounds for laying down the standards that VoIP will be exploring in the coming years.
