Mr. George Krucik reports
On April 6, 2000, the company will be unveiling Callex Web/VPIM, the first
stand-alone, PC-server based voice profile Internet mail (VPIM) compliant
voice and fax messaging solution, making voice mail as flexible as E-mail.
With Callex, create and send voice messages from a telephone or cellphone,
a browser, or E-mail program to any telephone or cellphone, VPIM-compliant
voice mail box, E-mail address or portable Internet device all for free by
way of the Internet. Callex also supports fax messaging.
VPIM is a new standard that permits the interchange of voice mails between
disparate corporate voice mail systems. Callex offers large corporations a
fully scalable and cost-effective means to implement the VPIM standard in
their existing environments. Callex also offers a unique solution for
individuals and small businesses wishing to become VPIM compliant.
Corporations can add VPIM capabilities to their existing voice mail systems
and avoid costly retooling by installing Callex alongside their system.
Callex gives existing voice mail systems access to VPIM-compliant systems
around the world. Furthermore, messages received from VPIM callers may be
replied to for free over the Internet. Companies do not have to change
their existing infrastructure to make use of Callex. Companies can make
voice mail available to all their employees in multiple locations with
Callex Web/VPIM installed in only one site. Virtual voice mail is now a
reality.
"The VPIM standard permits Callex to provide a common format for all voice
mail messages," said George Krucik, president of EleTel. "It lets us make
voice mail as ubiquitous and as easy to use as E-mail is today."
Callex users avoid service charges associated with Web-based unified
messaging because Callex runs on a PC and works with any browser. Messages
also can be downloaded to any cellphone or hand-held Internet accessible
device that plays MP3 compliant sound, such as the Microsoft Pocket PC.
Callex will be introduced at the Electronic Messaging Association annual
trade show which will be held this year in Boston on April 6 to April 8.
The EMA conference and trade show brings together the major leading
companies in the industry.
WARNING: The company relies upon litigation protection for
"forward-looking" statements. |
