Voice Mobility Announces Three-year Deal with Jippii in the UK Agreement
with major UK ISP is the first step to bringing Voice Mobility's Unified
Communications(TM) solution to Internet users across Europe
VANCOUVER, Jan 25, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Voice Mobility
International, Inc., (OTCBB: VMII and FWB: VMY), the developer of the Unified
Communications(TM) software suite, has signed a three-year contract to provide
its Unified Communications solution to Jippii UK, a leading UK Internet company.
"This deal is an important step for us in our mission to become a world leader
in the unified communications space because we are up against some world-class
competition," says Voice Mobility's CEO Jay Hutton. "This will not only provide
us with significant revenues, it will also open other doors for us in Europe, an
area our sales and marketing teams has targeted for rapid growth in 2001."
Voice Mobility will install, in Jippii's London facility, our Unified
Communications platform that is designed to support the E1 telephony interface
and European dialing rules.
"The timing is also especially good, because Europe has just deregulated the
last remaining segments of its telecommunications industry. That means there is
going to be more competition for customers, and Internet and telephone companies
will have a greater need to provide value-added products like ours," says Mr.
Hutton.
Jippii UK is a multi-service operator, providing hosting, e-commerce and turnkey
ISP services as well as other high-speed, dedicated Internet connectivity
products to a wide variety of customers, including leaders in the finance,
education, government, manufacturing and telecommunications sectors. As a Class
A telecommunications licence-holder, Jippii UK provides Primary Rate Interfaces
(PRI) and Direct In-Dial (DID) services to over 10,000 customers in the U.K.
Jippii also has links to the main Internet Exchange Points in Europe and the
U.S.
"Voice Mobility has the kind of service that will help cement the bond between
us and our customers," says Dave Clarke, Jippii UK's Managing Director. "Voice
Mobility's Unified Communications software suite puts control of personal
communications back in the hands of users by bringing together office, home,
mobile phone and pager numbers, voice-mail boxes and fax numbers into a single
phone number and mailbox. Users will not want to drop the service once they've
discovered how easy it makes managing all their different telecommunications
devices."
Clarke noted that they were also attracted to Voice Mobility because their
pricing policy means Jippii can begin enjoying incremental revenues virtually as
soon as they deploy the system to their end-users.
