Coghead Demonstrates Integration With BT's 21st Century Web Services

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - April 23, 2008) - Web 2.0 Expo -- At the Web 2.0 Expo this week, Coghead (http://www.coghead.com/), a leading platform-as-a-service provider, is demonstrating integration using BT's telco-enabled web services (http://web21c.bt.com/). The collaboration between BT and Coghead -- first announced last year -- makes it easy for Coghead developers to add voice and messaging to web applications built on the Coghead development platform. Today's demo offers a first look at the beta program that will be announced later this year.

"By making BT's Web Services available to download via SDKs, BT is enabling application developers worldwide to harness its multi-billion dollar investment in the 21st Century Network. The collaboration with Coghead makes BT's telco-enabled web services easily consumable by Coghead developers, enabling them to create innovative communications-enabled applications," said Joe Black, BT's Director of Business Development for Emerging Technologies.

"Through our relationship with BT, Coghead developers have a simple way to build innovative telephony-enabled applications. Today, we'll show Coghead developers how they can easily build an SMS capability into a Coghead app. The collaboration with BT really highlights the power and ease of Coghead's integration framework," said Greg Olsen, Coghead's founder and CTO.

Coghead.com is among the top five percent of most-visited web properties worldwide. The company's 100-percent web-based development platform provides a simple, powerful way for developers, tech-savvy business users, and IT professionals to create, manage, and deploy custom software-as-a-service applications. Coghead's growing community of 35,000 developers create and publish applications in a matter of hours or days, at a fraction of the cost of large packaged applications or custom development projects.

On April 15, 2008, Coghead introduced the Gallery, an open-market exchange that provides a global forum for application creators to publish their Coghead applications. The combination of Coghead's visual web application development platform, sophisticated workflow capabilities, unified communications services and open-market publishing model completely changes the way applications are created, marketed, and sold -- enabling application publication and consumption without spending millions of dollars on technology and business infrastructures.
