European Internet communications company Tiscali has deployed Critical Path’s Memova Messaging to enrich TiscaliPlus - its brand new consumer online service platform for carefree communication and sharing, first launched in the Netherlands and soon to be offered in Italy, Germany and the UK. TiscaliPlus provides a centrally hosted PIM (Personal Information Management) service where users can send and receive email, store and share multimedia content, and manage personal information via a network address book and calendar. These advanced applications, provided by Memova Messaging, are accessible via the Web and mobile devices, and subscribers can synchronize personal information across mobile phones, PDAs and desktop PC clients. Along with the email, PIM and multimedia file services Tiscali is offering on its portals, Memova Messaging provides additional services operators can easily turn on or off with basic "class-of-service" provisioning, including a full suite of messaging and collaboration services for small businesses. Key features, such as the platform's address book, can be easily extended to support applications beyond email and PIM synchronization, such as push-to-talk, IM, conferencing and VoIP services. The address book also serves as a solid foundation for service providers rolling out converged communications services and IMS platforms.
