Comverse Network Systems Unveils Notification Via E-Mail Service Business/Technology Editors SUPERCOMM 99 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 1999-- Comverse Brings Voice And Fax Mail To The E-Mail Subscriber, Taking Advantage Of The Power Of The Internet Comverse Network Systems, a division of Comverse Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMVT), and the world's leading supplier of enhanced services platforms to wireless and wireline network operators, today unveiled its Notification Via E-Mail service, a major enhancement to its integrated messaging services. Comverse's Notification Via E-Mail service enables subscribers to a network operator's voice messaging or unified messaging service to keep track of their messages from home, while at work, while traveling, or while online. When a caller leaves a voice or a fax message in a subscriber's voice mailbox, the Notification Via E-Mail service can either send a notification via e-mail, or send the message as an e-mail attachment, over the Internet, to a pre-determined e-mail address. Comverse's Notification Via E-Mail works with virtually any e-mail client. Notifications can be sent to any device having an e-mail address, such as PCs, laptops, PDAs, or wireless smartphones. Because the message is delivered in a visual format, subscribers can browse through their messages and choose which message to review and act upon first. Subscribers can also forward their messages to other e-mail addresses. Since faxes can be printed, Comverse's Notification Via E-Mail also enables the subscriber's PC and printer to double as a fax machine. Itsik Danziger, President and Chief Operating Officer of Comverse Network Systems, said, "From a consumer perspective, Comverse's Notification Via E-mail service is the most generally usable form of unified messaging. It brings voice mail to the e-mail client, giving subscribers easy access to their voice and fax mail messages while they are checking e-mail." Comverse first launched its unified messaging service, which combines voice, fax, and e-mail in a single mailbox, in 1998. Comverse is demonstrating its Notification Via E-Mail service at SuperComm '99 in booth 441 in Hall A, June 8-10, in Atlanta, Georgia. |
