Macromedia, Inc. has announced an agreement with HP to jointly integrate, market, and sell solutions that unite Macromedia’s Flash Platform and HP’s Service Delivery Platform (SDP). Together, Macromedia and HP will enable carriers, network equipment providers, and telecommunication ISVs to streamline the creation of new communications, messaging, and collaboration solutions, and securely deploy rich multimedia services that leverage the ubiquity of Macromedia Flash Player and the depth of the HP SDP across fixed, mobile, and broadband networks.

According to William Stofega, senior research analyst, VoIP Services at IDC, "The Flash Platform combined with the HP SDP creates a robust, multiplatform solution for the enterprise that is suitable for stringent, mission-critical environments across the telecommunications network."
