Global communication is entering a period of profound and rapid change. New tools, devices and applications, that change the way we stay in touch, are being introduced every day. The internet and the mobile phone have changed everything. But this is still only the beginning. Accelerating technology promises to continue to change the way we all stay in touch forever.
Phones and computers are merging into a new class of hybrid communication tools and it's happening very quickly. It's already getting difficult to tell one from the other. In the near future, customers will expect to be able to get all their communication media from a single source, on a single device, over a single network, regardless of where they are or what they are doing.
The scale of this opportunity is unprecedented and, in the end, will dramatically effect every facet of our professional and personal lives. The only question remaining is; who will create the solutions customers will be asking for in this new world of global communication?
Why Ribbit?
Ribbit was created specifically to address this opportunity. We call Ribbit "Silicon Valley's First Phone Company," not because the world needs a new phone company, but because it needs a new kind of phone company. The Ribbit team is made up of a unique combination of telephony, computer and internet professionals who have come together to create a whole type of phone company built to behave in an entirely new way.
Ribbit recognizes that for innovation to keep pace with the opportunity it needed a fresh approach to product and application development. No single company could possibly create all the solutions customers will soon be asking for, which is why Ribbit created an open platform for voice innovation. We believe it's our global community of developers that will drive innovation and create the voice applications of the future. Accordingly, Ribbit is creating, not just the development tools they need, but we are also creating an entire "developer success ecosystem" to assure they can also market and sell their applications across the internet and around the globe.
Who is Ribbit for?
Ribbit is the first company to make it easy for developers to integrate advanced voice features into applications and services to unlock new levels of value for their customers. Ribbit has built two examples of how this works. Our innovative consumer application Ribbit Mobile links mobile phones and the internet to create an integrated voice and data solution tailored for the lifestyle of the modern professional. Our enterprise solution, Ribbit for Salesforce, integrates mobile phones and advanced voice automation features directly into Salesforce.com to increase sales team productivity.
Both are revolutionary in how they integrate voice to create solutions that were never before possible and both serve as excellent examples of what can be built using the Ribbit Platform. All the features of both these products can be integrated into other applications through our Developer API.
The opportunities for voice integration are virtually limitless and our developers are hard at work to create solutions in a wide range of industry categories. Visit our platform page to learn more.
