“We are very excited about Overall’s decision to invest in our future growth plans” said Sam Waicberg, Iperia’s CEO. “This will accelerate new product innovation and bring Iperia’s solutions to a broader set of customers.” In 2009, Iperia began an aggressive campaign to enable carriers with legacy voice messaging systems to access the capability of Iperia’s industry leading enhanced messaging services for their customers. As a result of this effort, Iperia is delivering brandable mobile voice and messaging based applications that interoperate with their existing systems across any network.
