Dreams of greater independence and mobility have always inspired people to break the mold, leading to innovations to satisfy these demands. This has certainly been the case with Roman Scharf and Daniel Mattes, two successful Austrian entrepreneurs and founders of JAJAH Corporation ¹ ,one of the most successful IT start-up companies of recent years, now headquartered in Mountain View in the heart of California’s famous Silicon Valley. Recently named a TiE50 award winner in May 2009, for being one of the most promising start-ups and “a leader in innovation, ingenuity, and management excellence,” JAJAH has also won the Alexander Graham Bell Award for Best Communication Solution, as well the Always On, and the Global Red Herring Award.

What are we talking about?

A simplified illustration of how JAJAH works

JAJAH is a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service that gives a user the potential to make long distance calls at much lower rates compared to standard phone lines, using the VoIP technology which delivers voice communications over IP networks such as the Internet. From this point of view it is similar to Skype, a pioneer within the VoIP sector. But what differentiates JAJAH from Skype, and doubtless is one of the main secrets of its success, is the fact that neither the caller nor the receiver needs anything but a phone – no headset, no software, no computer, and no broadband connection.

The idea behind JAJAH is both simple and brilliant: Once a call is initiated via JAJAH web, JAJAH calls back the caller as well as the intended receiver. The call is then routed through the calling party’s phone network (landline or mobile), to JAJAH’s servers, and then back out through the call receiver’s phone. JAJAH even allows a person to get a local number for international contacts, which permits the calling party to save the numbers in an address book and dial the number directly from his/her phone. Compared to Skype, mobility and flexibility are defined in a totally new way. JAJAH can be used from anywhere in the world, as long as there is a connection with an operator.

The two JAJAH founders: Roman Scharf and Daniel Mattes

This principle was the decisive factor when Scharf and Mattes – who were introduced to each other by a common friend – committed to promoting their own company and taking on the market leader Skype. They envisioned the development of a competitive product including text messaging, video, and conference calls, that encourages the use of VoIP services but does not force its users to change their habits significantly. “Among our friends everybody knew Skype, but no one was actually using it, as none of them wanted to be bound to a computer and use a headset while making a telephone call,” Mattes remembers.

At that time, not only had both Scharf and Mattes successfully sold their former businesses, providing a financial basis to start with, but they seemed to complement each other perfectly in terms of their respective areas of expertise: Scharf had graduated from Vienna Business School and received an award for his thesis on “Environmental Management and Eco-Auditing.” After working for the European Commission, he worked as a management consultant, where he distinguished himself in the fields of project management, marketing, and business development.

By contrast, Mattes, who refers to Bill Gates as his role model and always wanted to work for Microsoft, was obsessed with computers and gained his first coding experience at age 12 with a Sinclair ZX81 – a present from his uncle for his confirmation. The Sinclair ZX81 was a home computer released in 1981 equipped with a processor running at a clock rate of 3.25 MHz and 1024 bytes equal to 1 KB RAM also serving as disk space. By comparison, a commercial PC has at least 100 GB of hard disk space (100,000,000 KB).

Daniel Mattes - Co-founder and Chairman of JAJAH Inc.

However most of Mattes’ school friends possessed the better, but more expensive, Commodore 64 for which it was possible to buy some games – still the best selling single personal computer model of all time, with total sales of more than 30 million units. In order to play games, Mattes’ only option was to read books about coding and programming and to develop his own little games. Due to the very limited memory of his computer (compared to the Commodore 64, it was 16 times smaller), Mattes wrote the codes as efficiently as possible to save bytes. Although only 17 years old, the high school student had already developed expertise in different program languages and started giving lessons in computer science for a company in Linz, Austria. After graduating from high school, already a recognized computer expert and winner of several developer contests, Mattes studied IT and business economics at the University of Linz. Early on, it became apparent that Mattes was unchallenged, as he already knew everything he was taught at university. He began to work for a small computer company during the day and pursued his studies in the evenings, until he was overwhelmed with work and dropped his studies. Under Mattes’ guidance, the company developed an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for smaller companies. An ERP system is a company-wide computer software system that coordinates and manages its business processes. Later on, he created another ERP system for a small computer company of a friend, which was (and still is) widely used in companies all over Europe. The eventual JAJAH founder realized that such a system could also be useful for the government in the area of public bidding. In those days public bids were required by law to be published in the Wiener Zeitung, a government-owned newspaper. He decided to create an online portal for public bids called Auftrag.at and successfully converted the Austrian government to its use by means of a legislative amendment. For his work, Mattes received the federal award of excellence for e-government and multimedia. Today Auftrag.at is still the number-one public bidding portal in Austria, and is also available in other European countries. In 2004 Mattes sold Auftrag.at to the Austrian government.

That same year, in December 2004, the two Austrians decided to found JAJAH Corporation as an Austrian company with limited liability based in Vienna. They hired three computer engineers and one person responsible for public relations; today JAJAH employs around 110 people. In April 2005 the first JAJAH soft phone was put online and something unexpected happened: When Scharf and Mattes came to their Vienna office several weeks later, they were inexplicably unable to access the Internet from their workstations.… What had actually happened was that a well-known Italian blogger called Robin Good had published an article about JAJAH with the headline “Skype Killer Offers Free VoIP, SMS and Videoconferencing: JAJAH”.

That was the beginning of an incredible success story. Due to the high degree of visibility and influence of the blogging site, more than 100,000 people started to download the software overnight, until their small local server broke down. “We didn’t expect anything like that. Our software had to be moved to a public server farm with a high bandwidth, it was really skyrocketing!” Mattes remembers with a big grin, adding: “Within a short time, we were able to show more than 700,000 users.”

Motivated by this unexpected success, the two Austrians started to seek additional funding and contacted some investors. Coincidentally Michael Moritz, one of the most successful venture capitalists at Sequoia Capital in California – a leading venture capital firm that has funded companies like Google, Yahoo!, Apple Computers, Cisco, Oracle, Youtube, and PayPal – noticed JAJAH at an airport. While waiting for his flight, a guy sitting next to Moritz was making a VoIP call and not using Skype, but JAJAH. “One of the advantages of our JAJAH client is the fact that it can be applied in networks with a low bandwidth, even with a dial-up modem. At that time the market leader Skype could only be used with a broadband connection,” Mattes explains.

Back in his office, Moritz wanted to get in touch with the JAJAH founders and sent them an e-mail. “We were blown away,” Mattes recalls. From then on everything moved very fast. After meeting with Sequoia Partner Haim Sadger in Vienna, the funding was a done deal. The only issue was that JAJAH was an Austrian company and Sequoia is not strongly featured on the European market. Thus, Scharf and Mattes spontaneously decided to move to the United States and build up their company in the former Google premises in the Silicon Valley, leaving Austria behind. The whole formation process happened within 21 days. “At the beginning we didn’t even have a bank account,” Mattes laughs and adds in the same breath: “Even though we had to build up everything from scratch, it was not difficult to move to the United States, because of the great support from the Sequoia connections. They provided us with Google lawyers, perfect offices, and of course the right contacts. Without such a network you are completely lost, I don’t think one can simply move to the US and expect to start a successful business with no local knowledge or contacts.”

Now the two entrepreneurs have committed themselves to supporting other Austrian start-ups that are interested in moving to the United States, and providing them with access to the Silicon Valley. Mattes confirms that it is very difficult for start-ups to find adequate financial support in Austria or even Europe, especially if the start-ups require high initial investments. “All the big companies required at least $10 to $15 million of funding in their first years to be able to successfully launch their businesses,” the IT expert adds, “and means of such magnitude are simply not that readily available in the European market.”

Staying ahead of the curve

JAJAH - Let's talk

One of JAJAH’s core strategies is their focus on innovations. The company has already become famous for the short time required to bring its new features to market. Mattes agrees: “It is absolutely important to be always on top of the game and to be a technological leader, because the competitors are never sleeping.” In this context, Mattes also has advice for potential entrepreneurs: ”Don’t wait to launch a 100-percent complete product, because your product will never reach that 100 percent. Be happy with a total completion of 80 percent, launch it, and come up with more innovations.”

With more than 400 million user accounts (some users may have more than one account), Skype is still the market leader in the consumer section, but the number of JAJAH users has already surpassed the 10 million mark. Apart from the consumer branch, JAJAH’s IP voice and messaging platform is focusing on partnerships with other service providers, Internet companies, and mobile carriers or enterprises. In April 2008, JAJAH announced a strategically important deal with Yahoo!, integrating its platform to provide the telephone infrastructure, payment processing, and customer care to Yahoo Messenger users. This coup yielded 97 million new users at one blow communication via JAJAH technology, and showed the enormous potential behind JAJAH. Currently, about 25 million individuals use JAJAH directly and on a regular basis.

There is absolutely no doubt that the two JAJAH founders, Scharf and Mattes, will come up with more innovations in the future. Just a few weeks ago, in June, JAJAH connected the historic one-billionth call since launching its platform. Despite their huge success in the US, Mattes confesses that he wants to return to Austria at some point in the future – meanwhile, JAJAH makes it very easy to keep in touch by phone.

JAJAH unveils VoIP solutions for Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and Symbian

2009-02-19T17:20:00.000-08:00

IP telephony leader expands mobile solution suite

JAJAH, the leading IP telecommunications company, today announced new, advanced solutions for Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and Symbian. The new services, which enable VoIP calls to be made either via WiFi or over the cellular network, are offered as white label solution to enable carriers and non-carriers to launch the service under their own brand.

The new services follow JAJAH’s recent release of a solution that transforms the iPod touch into a fully functioning mobile phone. The company now has tailored solutions for more than 500 million mobile phones, smartphones and other mobile devices worldwide.

JAJAH has pioneered the concept of making high quality, low cost phone calls from any device since it first launched in 2006, including world-first applications for the iPhone and PlayStation portable. It has since opened its back-end platform to allow other companies to launch these services under their own brands.

Enabling carriers to serve all their customers

JAJAH’s platform incorporates everything a company would need to launch the service immediately under their own brand. This includes the application itself, plus the entire suite of management services, from termination of the calls and quality control, right through to billing and processing payments in 200 countries around the world.

“Every carrier faces pressure to develop new services to keep hold of their subscriber base. JAJAH gives carriers the ability to roll out these proven, simple to use services no matter which device their customers have, with almost zero time to market or development cost,” said Trevor Healy, CEO, JAJAH.

JAJAH’s plug-and-play IP platform is the only service that provides the full suite of services required to develop, deploy and monetize IP communication services anywhere in the world. The JAJAH platform is used by a number of the world’s largest companies including Intel, Yahoo! and Comcast, and allows any company to offer value-added-services (VAS) to their customer base with no upfront payment or development work, saving millions for its customers and ensuring partners are prepared for the next generation of service provision.

JAJAH for BlackBerry

The JAJAH application for BlackBerry gives all BlackBerry users the ability to make JAJAH VoIP calls directly from their device. Available as an over the air download, via the desktop manager or from a corporate BES server, the application adds ‘JAJAH Call’ to the phonebook menu. Simply click on the contact name and select ‘JAJAH Call’ and the phone call is initiated. Alternatively, users can open the JAJAH application and type in the phone number.

JAJAH for Symbian

Designed for making VoIP calls over a WiFi network, JAJAH for Symbian gives anyone with a phone running Symbian s60 the ability to choose whether their international calls route over the JAJAH IP network or the standard cellular network. The application automatically detects the presence of a WiFi network and offers the choice to use JAJAH when a long distance phone number is dialed (either manually or via the address book).

JAJAH for Windows Mobile

JAJAH for Windows Mobile is a full SIP over HSDPA/WiFi mobile VoIP solution. Currently deployed by eMobile, one of the leading operator’s in Japan, the JAJAH solution turns any device into a fully functioning VoIP phone, providing high quality phone-in and phone-out services to and from any phone in the world.

JAJAH continues to develop innovative communications services. In the coming months the company will announce a range of new data communication services, applications and partnerships.

Carriers at an Innovation Dead End?

2009-02-19T17:09:00.000-08:00

JAJAH Research Predicts Partnering Explosion as Carriers Look to Third Parties as the Innovation Engine for New Service Delivery

JAJAH, the world's most innovative communications company, released its 2009 Telecommunications Industry Issue Index today. The research found that traditional carriers are struggling to successfully drive new and innovative services to their customer bases and, concerned about the threat from Internet-based competition, are more receptive to partnering to get access to the innovative services they need to remain competitive. The global shift from wireline to wireless is the fuel behind the drive for new services that will help retain revenue.

The research confirmed that carriers are no longer searching for a 'silver bullet' solution, explained JAJAH CEO Trevor Healey. "Instead they are looking to invest in services that leverage the power of their network and can evolve over time, enabling them to have a consistent engine of IP-based innovation to draw from for different customer segments. With our open IP Platform and managed services, JAJAH is delivering services today that help carriers drive ARPU from their customer base and give them a foundation for continued innovation."

Is choice the killer app?

Changing consumer behavior has a clear impact on carrier strategy. By adopting a 'suite' approach to IP service delivery, carriers allow customers to personalize their own services and ensuring customer loyalty by providing 'must have' applications on an existing network. Consumer loyalty is now more closely aligned to devices, applications and online communities than to networks and service providers. The launch of the iPhone demonstrates this, driving over 500 million application downloads of the 15,000 applications available on the app store and counting. Carriers are seeking to emulate this success.

The Telecommunications Industry Issue Index is compiled through a series of interviews with C-Level executives at US and European telecom providers and gives insight into the strategies, opportunities and challenges for major international carriers in FY09. In addition to new findings around innovation partnerships, a focus on services and a preference for partnering with IP platform providers, the research also highlights the continuing decline of landline revenue and concern about cloud-based services. In contrast there is a positive attitude towards embracing IP technologies and clearer strategies from carriers on how they plan to address this challenge.

Key findings from JAJAH's 2009 Telecommunications Industry Index include:

- New, agile competitors threaten telcos: Carriers are increasingly concerned about the threat from competitors outside the telecoms sector. Companies like Google and Skype can offer IP-based services that are quick to market and don't have the costly overheads of conventional telecom companies.

- Innovation loves a downturn: Many carriers recognize they need to drive innovation but have not been successful in developing new services to date and are now having R&D budgets cut. Carriers need to find a route to innovation that also allows them get new and profitable services into the market quickly.

- The customer remains King: As landline revenue decreases carriers are focused on customer retention and developing the right mix of new services to create differentiation and keep competitors at bay.

- Opportunity and threat: When compared with the last Industry Review, carriers feel that they have a clear IP strategy in place but there are still concerns about the extent to which services will become cloud-based and so what infrastructure they will need to get services to market.

- No quick fix: Carriers are no longer looking for a killer app to solve their problems. IP strategies now focus on developing a number of solutions that leverage existing networks and can provide ongoing service creation for customers depending on demand.

- The death of the landline: There is a global decrease in landline revenue and carriers need to invest in wireless to retain customers and offset traditional wireline business models.

"The research shows a clear shift from wireline to wireless and the growing adoption of mobile broadband services," said Jon Arnold of J Arnold & Associates, the analyst consultancy engaged by JAJAH for the research. "Subscriber behaviors are changing, value propositions are shifting and new business models are emerging. Service providers are quick to acknowledge they cannot do it all themselves, and JAJAH is well positioned to help them address these challenges in 2009."

JAJAH Turns iPod Touch Into an iPhone

2009-02-19T16:41:00.000-08:00

White Label Solution Enables Any Carrier to Provide High Quality Calls and text Messaging via the iPod Touch

JAJAH, the leading IP telecommunications company, today announced a complete revamp of the iPod touch, turning the device into a fully functioning mobile phone for consumers. The new capability, available as a white label solution, enables carriers as well as non-carriers to launch the service under their own brand and provide their customers with the ability to make low-cost phone calls and send SMS text messages to any phone in the world from their iPod touch. To use the service, end users only require an iPod touch and a Wi-Fi connection, with no need for a SIM card or contract.

Move over, iPhone

The iPod touch is one of the most popular consumer devices in the world for music, entertainment, Web-browsing and now, making phone calls.

"Millions of people around the world already have an iPod touch in their pocket. With JAJAH's solution, any company can turn their customers' iPod touch into a fully functioning mobile phone," said Trevor Healy, CEO, JAJAH. "The device is particularly popular amongst students, who live in a world where Wi-Fi access is always available and, like everyone, they are looking to save costs, so this is a perfect solution."

JAJAH's next generation IP communications platform gives its partners everything they need to launch the service immediately. This includes the application itself, plus the entire suite of management services, from termination of the calls and quality control, right through to billing and processing payments in 200 countries around the world.

Given the economic downturn, consumers are seeking ways to make calls on any mobile device they own, as inexpensively as possible. "Offering a turnkey solution provides iPod touch users with added value," said Jon Arnold, principal analyst of J Arnold & Associates. "This is a prime example of how JAJAH's innovative platform helps carriers differentiate their services."

Connection made easy ...

Anyone with the latest version of the iPod touch will be able to download the service from the Apple App Store. With a microphone headset (available from Apple), users will immediately be able to make calls and send SMS messages from their device from any Wi-Fi network in the world. Calling costs will be up to 98 percent cheaper than existing rates on mobile networks, and in many cases could be free.

VoIP on the T-Mobile G1 Android Phone

2008-11-06T09:13:00.000-08:00

T-Mobile recently launched the first Google Android powered mobile phone called G1. It's a great mobile phone with a ton of features, a full keyboard, a big touchscreen and a rising number of great applications. I got one the day it was launched and I have to say that I am very impressed, so if you don't have an iPhone yet and consider a new phone then I can absolutely recommend the new G1.

Even if I don't like to refer to JAJAH as a VoIP provider it is what we provide through our backend infrastructure and you can use JAJAH with your G1. JAJAH combines the best of two worlds: premium voice quality of a standard land line or cell phone and the cost savings of Internet telephony. It is the easiest way to make ultra-low cost long-distance and international phone calls right of your mobile phone, on any network and wherever you are.

There are two ways how to benefit from JAJAH with your G1 and frankly any other mobile phone:

1) JAJAH Mobile Web: You simply point your mobile browser to mobile.jajah.com type in the number you want to call or select the number in your JAJAH address book. JAJAH will initiate the call and connects you to the desired number anywhere in the world for just a few cents per minute (see our detailed rates here). Phone-to-phone and no WiFi or broadband connection required.

2) JAJAH Direct: You provide us the long-distance or international number that you call more frequently and we give you a number local to you to call instead. So you get a local number for each of your international or long-distance contacts and call them directly from your landline or cell phone. You can save the numbers to your phone and never dial long-distance again!

Example: I live in San Francisco and want to call my brother in Adelaide, Australia. I would usually dial the Australian number and pay dollars per minute, now I dial the unique local San Francisco number that JAJAH provided to me and is saved in my cell phone for just 3 cents per minute and it rings my brother's phone at the other side of the world.

You simply dial local and talk global (or long-distance)!

So enjoy the cost savings of Internet telephony while using your regular phone (landline or mobile/G1), there are no monthly and no connection fees and sign up is free. Try it out!
