Acision to Forge Ahead in 2015 with Key Enhancements and Development Plans for Forge by Acision

CES, LAS VEGAS, January 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

         Self-service developer portal; secure, enterprise-grade messaging solutions;
  new forge SDK with richer communication capabilities - all this and more via forge by

                                     Acision platform

    Acision, the global leader in mobile engagement services and an industry innovator in
WebRTC technology, will this year be unveiling its most advanced forge by Acision
[http://forge.acision.com ] platform yet, which is now purpose built for developers and
enterprises. Having already been recognised last year for bringing real life scenarios
into apps, showcasing the power of the forge SDK
[http://forge.acision.com/products/forge-sdk ], Acision won industry awards from TMCNet and
at AstriCon. 2015 is set to be another game-changing year for Acision's Rich Engagement
and Enterprise team, with a series of key new enhancements, developments, integrations and
upgrades scheduled for the forge by Acision platform. Here is a preview of the major
updates we will see over the next few months:

    Help yourself with Self-Service

    In the coming week, forge by Acision will introduce its first fully self-service
developer portal, providing instant access to the forge SDK, APIs and A2P messaging
services. After signing up for an account via a few simple steps, developers can trial and
go live with enterprise-grade, rich and real-time communication capabilities in their own
mobile or web apps, such as SMS and IP messaging, voice and video chat and presence, all
fuelled by WebRTC technology. All accounts will be provided with the most complete SDK
trial yet, offering 90 days free access to video and voice minutes, IP or SMS messaging
bundles and much more. Built with integrated billing, purchasing additional services,
minutes and bundles is seamless, further accelerating time to market of services.

    MindMatics forging into forge

    Following Acision's acquisition of MindMatics Secure Messaging
[http://www.acision.com/media-hub/press-releases/2014/acision-to-lead-secure-mobile-messaging-market-following-mindmatics-secure-messaging-acquisition ]
last year, starting this
month, it will integrate A2P messaging services with multi-factor authentication and
one-time password capabilities into the forge by Acision platform. The integration with
MindMatics, means enterprises can access the new forge cockpit, to initiate mobile
messaging campaigns in order to engage in two-way dialogue with their customers and
employees. MindMatics Secure Messaging provides exceptionally reliable, enterprise-grade,
secure messaging solutions to the market, which includes some of the leading blue-chip
businesses in Europe, including financial services, aviation, travel and logistics
companies. This major release, made more secure with one-time passwords, mobile PINs and
the consistent use of two channels (SMS and web) for authentication, will confidently keep
organisations on top of today's data protection and security standards, while allowing
them to engage more effectively with stakeholders.

    Forging ahead with forge SDK?

    Next month the forge SDK will support push notifications as well as integration with
Office 365, LinkedIn and leading customer identity management platform, Janrain. In
addition, distinct levels of end-to-end secure messaging capabilities will be
interoperable with fuseMe by Acision [http://fuseme.acision.com ], providing the backbone
to the company's white-label smart, all-in-one communication app, and meaning better
alignment with the rich communication needs of the enterprise. Also, stay tuned for group
chat conferencing and recording capabilities coming later this year.

    forgeathon challenge: helping you take your app global

    As if this wasn't enough to kick start 2015 for forge, Acision has also launched its
first online "forgeathon" - a Richer Communications (WebRTC) App Challenge. Using the
Forge by Acision SDK [http://forge.acision.com ] toolkit, over six weeks entrants are
invited to either create a new Android, iOS or web app or service, or enhance an existing
one with next-generation rich communication capabilities. The reward: winning a stage at
this year's leading tech events, Mobile World Congress and SXSW Interactive! To register
or learn more visit http://forgeathon.bemyapp.com

    Eric Bilange, Head of Rich Engagement Services at Acision, said: "By leveraging
Acision's rich communication toolkit via the forge by Acision portal, developers can
really bring their application ideas to life. Accessing forge self-service means
developers can easily manage solution requirements to fit their needs. To accompany this,
our aim with forgeathon is to spread the word about the forge SDK and the possibilities
with WebRTC technology, building a community of developers that create WebRTC based apps
and change the face of customer engagement."
