With the acquisition of Antepo, Adobe has made a deeper commitment to XMPP, joining the ranks of leading technology companies such as Apple, Google, Sun and others. IBM’s recent XMPP interoperability announcement is further evidence of the growing mainstream acceptance of the protocol. With such powerful backing, XMPP has clearly reached a tipping point, achieving recognition as the industry open standard for real-time messaging and presence.

Jabber, Inc. was the first company founded around this open standard (XMPP is also known as the Jabber protocol as it owes its origins and governance to the Jabber open source project). Jabber XCP, Jabber, Inc.’s XMPP-based messaging and presence platform, is chosen by our customers for its scalability, extensibility and multi-protocol interoperability. We recognize that messaging and presence will never be a single-protocol world, but it is nevertheless gratifying to see our native protocol gain such a significant endorsement.

Congratulations to Adobe and Antepo!
