Siemens Expands HiPath Program
November 6, 2002
By Kevin Reichard
With an eye toward the expanding voice-over-IP (VoIP), instant-messaging and real-time communications markets, Siemens Information and Communication Networks (IC Networks) is broadening its HiPath strategy by making it easier to integrate Siements products with other vendors' solutions and used on non-Siemens communication platforms.
Siemens' HiPath strategy focuses on four key areas: developing products for third-party platforms (for instance, Siemens is working on enterprise presence and instant-messaging platforms for Microsoft Windows XP), certifying third-party products with the HiPath Ready Partner program, certification of Siemens products by other vendors, and comarketing and sales activities with third parties.
"Siemens has introduced some very appealing packages of products and services, which are certain to get the attention especially of small-to-medium and small-of-large enterprises," says Tere Bracco, Research Director, Current Analysis, in a prepared statement. "Done well, enterprise telephony as a wholly managed service is very attractive to the SME market."
The partnership with Microsoft, maker of the other major public IM network, is especially noteworthy to the enterprise IM space, as the software giant is gearing up to release enterprise instant-messaging tools under its larger Greenwich initiative -- an initiative that apparently will include Siemens. According to Microsoft, Greenwich will serve as a secure enterprise IM management platform based on standards -- likely to be SIP/SIMPLE, which is already supported in Microsoft's Windows Messenger. The product is expected to debut in the middle of 2003.
"Siemens is a noteworthy innovator in the VoIP sector. We are pleased to have Siemens build its innovative HiPath products on Microsoft's Greenwich platform," says Gurdeep Singh Pall, general manager of the real-time
communications and collaboration group at Microsoft Corp. "The secure, standard-based, and expandable Microsoft technologies will be linked to realtime applications such as voice to meet customers' needs."
HiPath is Siemens' enterprise-level architecture for developing voice and data infrastructures, and, if necessary, to implement new IP (Internet Protocol) technologies, including VoIP and instant messaging.
