VOICE MOBILITY PURSUES GLOBAL GROWTH STRATEGY - SIGNS AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS PRODUCTS TO BERMUDA
CHICAGO, PCIA SHOW, SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 – Voice Mobility International, Inc. (OTCBB: VMII and FWD: VMY), the developer of the Unified Communications™ software suite, has signed an agreement with Logic Communications Inc. of Bermuda to jointly provide the Unified Communications software to the island nation’s telephone, Internet and cellular phone users. Logic is Bermuda’s largest provider of Internet services, and also provides highly competitive IP based voice and data services.
“This agreement adds Voice Mobility’s high-value Unified Communications software suite to our expanding portfolio. Clearly, products such as Voice Mobility’s Unified Communications suite are the way the world is going to go to simplify the increasingly complicated world of telecommunications,” said Jeff Hamill, Logic’s Chief Operating Officer. “We wanted a company on the leading edge of this technology and strongly feel Voice Mobility is the right company, with the right product.”
VMII’s Unified Communications software suite allows users to receive all of their phone, cellular and fax calls through a single phone number and retrieve all their messages from just one mailbox.
“This installation represents a significant step in our global growth strategy,” commented Jay Hutton, Voice Mobility’s Chief Executive Officer. “Bermuda has one of the most technologically advanced telecommunications systems in the world, so this agreement attests to our leadership in the unified messaging industry. It also gives us the opportunity to collaborate early in the development of a sophisticated new, and truly convergent, telecommunications market.”
“Bermuda is at the forefront of telecommunications regulatory reform, and is home to industry participants with global reach like Concert and Global Crossing. We welcome the opportunity to work with Logic in this exciting and developing market,” Hutton added.
The Company anticipates that the agreement, which resulted from a meeting at this May’s ISPCon trade show in Orlando, Florida, will provide Voice Mobility with approximately US$1 million in revenue over the next three years. For Logic Communications, the agreement creates additional revenue opportunities by providing a new range of useful services for its customers.
