Congrats to Jajah on the deal with Yahoo (and indeed I think, to Yahoo for picking a player like this to handle their Messenger real-world calls).
Mashable seems to have some of the scoop here regarding what’s to be called the Jajah Managed Services Platform. This is very much in the “Headless Telco” model that follows on from what Jajah did with Jangl, and that we mentioned in the last post here. We’re going to pull together a little analysis of these players in this new web-services-enabled-telephony provider world. If you have suggestions we’d love to hear them. Thanks to Mashable for putting Phone.com back on our radar - had missed that! Right now our list might be something like this
- Jajah
- Jaduka
- Ribbit
- IfByPhone
- Voxeo
- and of course, Google
All suggestions welcome. More on this later.

Hi Sean. You might consider VoiceSage to be somewhere in the mix here, but we are not technically “head to head” with any of these guys. In theory we should be able to provide our “communications enabled business processes” to all of them, so they can make them available to their own base.

Fair point Paul. I think we need to do a little bit of thinking to refine what we mean, and draw some kind of a chart out to help map the space.
I’d agree VoiceSage isn’t head-to-head, but is indeed one of the new players that solves a specific, focused problem in the overall mix. We’ll get thinking caps on and try again, with a richer attempt at characterising the players we all see.

One thing that’s interesting about this market we find ourselves in - it’s hard to describe with specificity.
I’m using Telephony Application Platform to describe voice enabling business process (in Howe-speak CEBP). But there are so many interesting companies out there doing interesting things.
