New Companies in Voice To Watch

I’m always on the hunt for new companies to keep an eye on and a few have caught my eye, largely because at least some of them will be at this years’ eComm conference the last week of June in San Francisco.

Vox.io-a very cool consumer facing browser based calling company.

Voxer.com-the next generation of push to talk. Let’s call it PTT 2.0. This is from the team behind RebelVox.

Harqen.com-a client of mine, with a new way to look at conversations.

Now for some others not at eComm

BlueJeansNetwork.com-in a world where video is coming at us as the next mode of real time communications, this cross platform, cross standards solution really works. Right now they are in beta.

Broadsoft-okay they’re not new, but their BroadCloud is, and I think it’s going to be like lightning this year with telecom service providers.

Polycom-last week’s deal with H-P picking up their video rights was a masterful move. It ends up blocking Vidyo from being acquired by HP but opens up the door to Dell to buy them and Dell is getting cloud.

Who do you think are hot companies in voice, video or collaboration?
