“In describing Webb’s incubation and development of Jabber —
the industry’s first open source XML-based instant messaging
platform, Evans stated, “Jabber represents a key building block of
our innovations in “conversational commerce,” and is being infused
throughout our AccelX services. Our recognition of Jabber as a
platform for next-generation instant communications services led us
to invest in a program of “Jabber commercialization,” creating a
new dedicated subsidiary company and working closely with a marquis
set of industry leaders that are at the forefront of open source
technology.”
“The Company is actively engaged in several projects that are
implementing Jabber as the foundation for portal services,
enterprise messaging, financial services applications and enhanced
mobile and telephony integration. Jabber.com, Inc. will continue to
work closely with Diamond Technology Partners Inc., and other
leading strategic partners, to create an early group of investors
and business partnerships that share a common vision of the
opportunity for “next generation” instant communications.”
“Jabber will offer a suite of support and professional
services to help leading companies implement, customize and host IM
applications. Much like the role RedHat assumed early in the Linux
market, Jabber will satisfy the demand for professionally developed
support operations and customization services that most business
customers expect…”
