Press Release

HarQen to integrate Sharendipity collaborative development technology into the HarQen web telephony platform; Sharendipity to distribute HarQen components

MILWAUKEE, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- HarQen, the leading web-telephony solutions company, and Sharendipity, a software development platform for monetizing software applications and components, today announced a plan to integrate HarQen's web telephony platform and Sharendipity's collaborative user-generated software environment. This partnership will enable HarQen customers to use Sharendipity to configure custom web telephony applications, and Sharendipity customers to access a set of premium, HarQen-powered telephony components.

HarQen's web telephony and social networking platform powers easy-to-use business applications across a range of industries. The company's goal is to optimize voice transactions for businesses - examples include VoiceScreener and Comic Wonder. Under the new agreement, Sharendipity will power the presentation layer, allowing HarQen clients to create custom web-telephony applications for their customers, powered on the back end by the HarQen platform.

"Our vision is that HarQen will bring voice to the web across a wide range of diverse applications, and we know our customers will require tools to easily build custom web-based interfaces. Sharendipity helps us towards our goal of creating an ideal solution for businesses in the web-telephony space," said Kelly Fitzsimmons, co-founder and CEO of HarQen.

Sharendipity is a collaborative development environment where individuals can create interactive Flash software applications regardless of technical expertise. Users piece together components shared by other community members to create software applications without programming, or dig in deeper and build their own components. Under the agreement, HarQen web telephony objects will be provided as premium components to Sharendipity users.

"We can imagine all kinds of new applications leveraging HarQen technology," said Mark Gehring, co-founder and CEO of Sharendipity. "For example, a game might involve dialog delivered over the phone, or an interactive greeting card template might prompt the user for a custom greeting using a HarQen-powered phone interview."

Development and initial releases of the combined platforms will begin in Q3 2009.
