JAJAH, the telephony 2.0 company and platform, has been certainly very good about staying in the news since they first burst on the scene, in a positive way, and today is no exception.  They announced that they have joined forces with Jangl in a strategic partnership designed to expand their communications offerings to their customers. 

“The goal of this partnership is to create several natural synergies for both JAJAH and Jangl, and has the potential to strengthen both companies’ positions going forward,” said Rebecca Swensen, Research Analyst, VoIP Services for IDC, Inc., in a recent press release  “Anytime two companies collaborate at an integral level – on product development, marketing and more – additional opportunities invariably arise.  This is one of the first major collaborations we’ve seen in the ‘Voice 2.0’ market and, to the extent that both companies execute well, this could have some very interesting ramifications for others in this space, as well.”

Here’s some of what the partnership has in store for their customers:

Jangl will leverage JAJAH’s telephony infrastructure to deliver phone services in 122 countries, further speeding Jangl’s growth as it continues to forge partnerships with top online personals and social networking communities, where it already powers in-context calling capabilities in more than 40 million online profiles. 

Jangl and JAJAH will collaborate in serving voice advertising for mobile and landline calls.  Jangl will become a publisher and begin to further monetize its traffic with audio advertising.  JAJAH will supply its in-call advertising appliance to overlay audio advertising on Jangl calls.

“More and more, JAJAH is becoming the platform of choice, and we are delighted to work with Jangl,” said Trevor Healy, JAJAH CEO. “It shows the great leaps we have made since opening our platform.  Thanks to Jangl’s position within the online community and JAJAH’s new advertising services, both companies significantly expand our advertising capabilities and monetization potential.”

“Jangl has always been about bridging the phone and the web,” said Cerda. “By giving people the same level of control with their phones, as they have with IM and email, we’re proving out our strategy.  By contrast, JAJAH has excelled at providing low-priced, high-quality international phone calling, and they’ve established a stellar back end operation along the way. Our partnership is about leveraging our complements and strengths, which will manifest in new initiatives and products in the very near future.”
