Openwave® Network Address Book
The proliferation of connected devices and messaging applications including email, SMS/MMS and voice have forced many users to maintain multiple locally-stored address books.
Over time, these address books can become cumbersome to maintain because users do not always remember to update each address book with every change or addi¬tion. Synchronizing contact information on all connected devices becomes an increasingly complex task.
The Openwave Network Address Book (NAB) synchro¬nizes contact information across multiple platforms, empowering operators to personalize and simplify their messaging services. NAB is a multi-access address book that gives users to manage and access all their stored contacts (plus calendar events, tasks and notes) from webmail, PC email clients, mobile phone address books and voice interfaces.
