San Francisco, CA - FuzeBox, the company that transformed iPads and Android tablets into virtual conference rooms, today announces it has opened its platform, via FuzeBox Ignite, and released new Open Application Programming Interfaces (Open APIs) for third–party and independent software developers around the world. FuzeBox Ignite opens the company’s previously proprietary technologies allowing developers to create a new wave of mobile and web collaboration applications.
The company’s popular Fuze Meeting and Fuze Messenger services, which are used by 2.5 million users, will be made available through the FuzeBox Ignite platform and will allow for the integration of the Fuze Meeting and Fuze Messenger services into a wide range of third party products and websites, signaling a shift in the way people use collaboration and conferencing services in a mobile world.
