Oracle Communications Presence

The converging worlds of the Web and telecommunications have led to the rapid growth of various innovative services that are based on real-time communication and collaboration technologies. Many of these services have end-user presence, availability, and usage state information. As presence-enabled services are used, availability information can come in various forms, including schedules, contact information, location, ability for end-user devices to be reached, and willingness of the end user to be contacted. Some common use cases include instant messaging, multiparty conferencing, and presence-enabled social networks.

Oracle Communications Presence is a comprehensive Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)-based SIP/SIMPLE/OMA–compliant presence server that allows communications service providers to offer innovative new services by aggregating, managing, and exposing information such as presence, availability, and group lists to other Web and telecom applications from diverse and disparate networks and devices.

Oracle Communications Presence provides a central repository of real-time presence states for subscribers over various communications networks; it enables subscriptions to state changes and allows users and services to publish state changes. It also implements a complete presence server solution based on key standards and specifications such as the Internet Engineering Task Force’s Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Presence SIMPLE, as well as 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) specifications.
