Macromedia Extends Breeze 5 with VoIP

Macromedia has cast its Breeze 5 Web communications and collaboration software into the marketplace. Notably, Breeze 5 now has voice over IP (VoIP) Internet telephony on top of its existing on-demand-video and real-time conferencing capabilities.

The upgrade arrives just as rival Microsoft debuts Service Pack 1 for Live Communication Server (LCS) 2005.

Unlike Microsoft’s LCS, which can only run under Windows, Breeze is Flash-based and the software will run across multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux and Mac OS X to address the compatibility concerns of customers.
