Increased Need for Interoperability and Standardization in North American Unified Messaging Markets.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46498) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report: Unified Messaging Markets (N.A.) to their offering. This report covers unified messaging markets in North America. It contains a market overview, and sections on Enterprise Solutions, Platforms and Solutions for Service Providers, Messaging Services, and provides a strategic assessment of the market. Unified Messaging Markets also provides trend information. * Adherence to various message exchange standards: new UM solutions have to function with a wide variety of enterprise products; ratified industry standards such as VPIM (Voice Profile for Internet Mail) A method for encoding voice mail messages as data so they can travel via the SMTP mail protocol over IP networks. VPIM uses MIME to encode messages in multiple parts, which are decoded by VPIM-compliant voice mail systems at (Voice Profile for Internet Mail) and IMAP IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (Internet Messaging Access Protocol version 4) enable interactions among distinct voice messaging systems and e-mail clients. Vendors must ensure their products meet these standardization requirements. Other standards for interoperability of message exchange include SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821. SMTP defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail. (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol See SMTP. (messaging) Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - (SMTP) A protocol defined in STD 10, RFC 821, used to transfer electronic mail between computers, usually over Ethernet. It is a server to server protocol, so other protocols are used to access the messages. ), MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (file format, multimedia) Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions - (MIME) A standard for multi-part, multimedia electronic mail messages and World-Wide Web hypertext documents on the Internet. MIME provides the ability to transfer non-textual data, such as graphics, audio and fax. ), LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) A protocol used to access a directory listing. LDAP support is implemented in Web browsers and e-mail programs, which can query an LDAP-compliant directory. (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (protocol) Lightweight Directory Access Protocol - (LDAP) A protocol for accessing on-line directory services. LDAP was defined by the IETF in order to encourage adoption of X.500 directories. ) and the legacy POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3). 1. UNIFIED MESSAGING MARKETS Market Overview 1. Executive Summary 2.
