SlipStream Data Releases The SlipIN Platform
Newly available technology enables service providers to lower support costs while quickly rolling out a greater selection of value-added services
Waterloo, Ontario - May 24, 2005 - SlipStream Data Inc. today announced the availability of the SlipIN Platform as part of their industry leading SlipStream SP5.0 software. The SlipIN Platform is a customizable interface that gives ISPs increased control over the value-added services they bundle and sell. The easy-to-manage platform delivers lower support requirements and greater profits as ISPs (Internet Service Providers) quickly and easily roll out more services to their dial, wireless and broadband subscribers.
SlipStream SP is the defacto standard in web and email acceleration software, deployed by more than 2000 service providers in 40 countries. SlipStream SP accelerates access to the Internet, email, FTP and web-based applications by up to 7X, resulting in an enhanced Internet experience for subscribers. Now integrated with SlipStream SP5.0, SlipIN enables ISPs to further enhance the online experience by quickly rolling out and easily managing more of the third-party applications that their customers demand.
This new concept in enabling ISPs to better manage their service offering was announced by SlipStream last Fall. Availability of the SlipIN platform now gives ISPs a single software point for managing a growing portfolio of services from leading application developers, including security applications, content filters, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and other communication, entertainment or productivity services. While some acceleration providers attempt to address ISPs' service offering needs with a bundle of services - which include specific applications with limited functionality - the customizable SlipIN Platform allows ISPs to choose the partner that delivers the best technology for their needs.
"We've simplified the process for deploying and customizing value-added services, resulting in greater profits for our ISP partners," said Ron Neumann, president of SlipStream Data Inc. "With SlipIN, we've given ISPs a dashboard for managing all of their bundled services, while allowing them to fully brand the solution and create a tailored offering for their subscribers. By ensuring a reliable, integrated solution through rigorous testing and certification of the 3rd-party applications, SlipIN supports our mission of enabling ISPs to deliver the most fulfilling online experience, which results in customer loyalty and greater profits."
All SlipIN Certified Solutions (SlipINs) undergo a comprehensive certification program to ensure maximum performance and reliability within the SlipIN Platform. The SlipIN certification program offers flexible commitment levels and marketing assistance to value-added service developers and, for ISPs, SlipIN certification ensures that the services they offer to their customers deliver an exceptional user experience.
"As a SlipIN Certified Solution, we can leverage both our and SlipStream's expertise and core technologies to directly benefit an ISP's bottom line," said Perry Roach, president and CEO of NetSweeper. "Our ISP customers can now offer subscribers a truly innovative solution that further enhances the Internet experience - the fastest accelerator on the market and the peace of mind provided by NetSweeper's content filtering solution - with the added flexibility of easily integrating other 3rd-party technologies. Since this enhanced service offering can be rolled out quickly, across their entire base, ISPs will reap the rewards of higher revenues and lower support costs."
SlipStream will be demonstrating the new SlipIN Platform along with its latest developments in acceleration at ISPCON (www.ispcon.com) in Baltimore, MD and CeBIT (www.cebit.com.au) in Sydney, Australia, from May 24-26, as well as at CommunicAsia (www.communicasia.com) in Singapore from June 14-17, 2005.
