Summary
IPVoice Communications, Inc ("IPVoice") is a new public company poised to take advantage of the explosive potential in Internet telephony. IPVoice is preparing to deliver products that allow companies and individuals to route their phone calls, faxes, and other data across the Internet at substantial cost savings with no sacrifice of quality compared to traditional telephone networks.
IPVoice's unique; state-of-the-art software and hardware solutions will bridge the gap between the telephone and the Internet. IP Telephony has been heralded as the new foundation for a new class of telecommunication applications - and these solutions will be as common as your desktop phone. The new technology combined with the deregulated communications marketplace creates tremendous opportunity for young, technologically competent companies. In this market smaller companies who can quickly assimilate new technology and change directions as the Internet changes will exploit most of the potential. IPVoice intends to make an impact on the Internet Telephony market by setting the standard for billing and management.
The potential market for Internet Telephony is huge: industry watchers expect revenue to grow sixteen-fold between 1995 and the turn of the century.
Management of the Company is anticipating gross margins to be approximately 42% on sales of IPVoice products with potential cumulative revenues over the next three years of $56.1 million and operating income of $16.6 million (before interest and taxes).
International Data Corporation (IDC) has predicted that the IP Telephony market will be worth $560 million in 1999 with annual growth of over 382% (CAGR).
Companies using IPVoice's technology can achieve savings of 30% to 70% over circuit-switched voice. The biggest savings are on the most expensive calls, like international.
2001 Revenues = $1.81 Billion, Compound Annual Growth Rate: 149% for the period
Products
IPVoice products have been designed and produced by the Company at its research and development office suite, in Denver, Colorado. IPVoice products are made from company-designed software and hardware, and products purchased from major suppliers, many of whom are very keen on co-operating with the Company, such as Natural Microsystems, Inc. The Company's premier product is an Internet Gateway named TrueConnect.
TrueConnect is about to be launched into the marketplace, following three years of extensive development, field-testing and trials. TrueConnect provides a gateway for bridging the public telephone system with the Internet. With TrueConnect, users will be able to conduct real-time, full duplex, high quality two-way voice communications over the Internet, for potential savings compared to standard long distance telecommunications services. Both voice and data can be utilized with TrueConnect, thus allowing businesses to create 'virtual offices' anywhere in the world by enabling off-site or traveling employees to connect to the main office using a lap-top computer and an Internet connection.
To support the True Connect product, the Company has completed several proprietary products that will allow the Company and its distributors to offer a total solution in Internet Telephony. These products include MultiCom, a complete order entry, billing, customer service, agent management and switching network management system for telecommunications businesses worldwide. AuditRite, is a software module add-in for the MultiCom system that allows MultiCom to read and interpret carrier-supplied data-tapes. The AuditRite system provides a powerful tool for analyzing call patterns and finding possible errors in a vendor's billing. The Company has also developed 4Com for Summa Four switches and ICBConnect for Harris switches.
Within the IP Telephony world, a few companies stand out from the rest as "market leaders" and are invariably the ones called when seeking such technology. Although each of these companies may have reliable or perhaps even excellent Voice over the Internet technology, the performance of these gateways is no better than the underlying hardware. (One such company uses Natural Microsystems, Inc.) IPVoice's systems are scalable along with centralized accounting which also has redundancy built into the environment. IPVoice's competitive edge could be that competitors can also be customers because of open platform design and the ability for IPVoice's billing and management software to communicate with other platforms such as Inter-Tel, Inc., Lucent Technologies (formerly AT&T), NorTel (formerly Northern Telecom), as well as Comdial, Executone, Iwatsu, Mitel, NEC, Nitsuko, Panasonic, ROLM, Toshiiba and others. Although some of these companies are 'giants' with far greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company, each of these IP Telephony "leaders" lack a critical component to their solutions: effective data-management and billing.
With the recent acquisition of key technologies and the emergence of the IP Telephony market, IPVoice stands in a unique position:
.
1. No competitor equals the IPVoice combined IP Telephony solution and mature, real-time billing system for ease of use, affordability and quality. All competing IP Telephony solutions in the marketplace today have immature billing systems.
2. No other telecommunications group can provide the same level of real-time remote access and manageability of information.
3. No other group can offer the same level of customer and agent access. The resulting sales momentum from empowering the remote agents will create a self-driving sales force unparalleled in the industry.
4. No other group is in a position to rapidly deploy and install Internet telecommunications services into new marketplaces. With IPVoice's industry-unique combination of IP Telephony technology, Internet remote-access technology, and a comprehensive order-entry and invoicing system, IPVoice can instantly address and secure new marketplaces and opportunities.
