NEC and Borland Software have formed a partnership aimed at Web-based applications with SIP-based multimedia capabilities. The companies are jointly developing software to enable voice and video communications such as IP telephony and IP video conferencing over online applications, including portal sites and Intranets. The relationship combines NEC's IT/Network integrated solutions using SIP technology with Borland's distributed object technology. NEC plans to launch adaptor software based on this collaboration by the end of this year to the Japanese market, targeting carriers, ISPs, application service providers, enterprises and government bodies. http://www.nec.comhttp://www.borland.com
