Of all the talented folks I met at the O'Reilly ETel conference Jaduka was one of my favorites. As I wrote here, these folks really get the big picture of unified communications. I was pleased for them to see this release noting that they've been recognized by Red Herring for their thought leadership.

Congrats to Trevor, Bill, Jack, Peter and the whole Jaduka. team.
