The RealCall Specification Circa 1995

SMS and mobile phones were not as popular in 1995 but from this short (and excellent demonstration of how a demonstration should be done) you can see a modern incarnation of the service, one we were told would never find a market.

Although Twilio and OpenVBX are nothing to do with RealCall I wish they were, the quality of the work demonstrated in this video encourages me to think the time is right for a rethink on some of our pre Adeptra strategy. The XML used in the demo uses the same principle tag used in our own XML API.

I do not think we need to reinvent the wheel but unless Twilio decide to bring this to Europe fast they may face strong competition.

My first Internet application development began in the 80′s with a file sharing utility used by typesetting companies.

I created a voip application which led to the “RealCall button” a trivial technology in comparison but one that would work at a time when the lack of bandwidth hindered further development of voice applications.

Finally we produced an IVR platform and the result was a company that specialises in anti-fraud and customer resolution services for the banking industry.
