pulvermedia Congrats Lavalife and Steve Smith for winning CIPA Silver Award!
Congrats to Steve Smith and his team for at Lavalife for winning the 2006 Silver Award for Innovation at the Canadian Information Productivity Awards ceremony.
We appreciate Steve's statement: "I also have to say a word of thanks into Jeff Pulver and his team at PulverMedia. It was at their VON trade shows that I learned much of what I needed to know for this project, and where I made all of the key connections to vendors and partners."

Lavalife's Winning VoIP Application: "By converting billions of minutes of IVR Personals traffic from legacy telecommunications infrastructures to VoIP and processing them centrally, the new solution replaced 25 platforms in cities across North America. In one fell swoop, the new solution reduced costs and improved efficiency in a number of categories and also removed long-standing technology constraints, enabling the business to expand into new geographic areas. Today, all traffic is captured locally by a telco and delivered centrally to Lavalife’s IVR applications as an inbound VoIP stream over a private IP network. The systems are generic servers, with no proprietary hardware components or associated custom low-level software...The solution has produced equipment savings estimated at $3.8 million. Approximately $250,000 in hardware costs and $400,000 in software costs replaced almost $4.5 million worth of production hardware."
