From IBM jStart Headquarters, June 27, 2009jStart™ and a major telecommunications company explores mashups
In support of an enterprise-wide IBM Mashup Center opportunity at a major telecommunications company, the jStart Team
developed a restaurant locator mashup, allowing a subscriber to view and listen to his voicemail
messages, determine the location of a selected friend who has left him a message, find a
restaurant convenient to that location, and communicate with his friend via SMS (Simple
Messaging Service). The location and presence services were provided through IBM's
WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server, operating at IBM's Telecommunications Solution Lab
(TSL) in Austin, TX. By utilizing experimental transcoding technology from the Yamato Software
Lab, the mashup was made available on an iPhone in addition to a PC browser.

How the jStart Team Was Involved
The team built on the success of the mashup by conducting a workshop to assist the client in defining additional uses for
mashups. These activities, in combination with excellent support from IBM's Information Management
Mashup Center team are examples of how the jStart team can help jump start
your company's efforts with IBM Mashup Center.
The mashup jStart helped develop allows users to text message information via a mashup.
