If you just crawled out from under the telephony rock, then its time to open your packets.
Challenged with a daily deluge of voice messages, fax messages, e-mail messages, popular demand for a unified messaging system is on the rise. To contend with the task of managing this near overwhelming amount of information in a diversified media, a comprehensive array of voice, image, data and video messaging applications and solutions for Internet subscribers should be on its way to Tier-1 carriers. FNet ?
The solutions should be open-standards-based, modular, scaleable and
definitely upgradable. For both the workforce, and homebase dialup extentions, this could be a unique solution to the problem of maximizing company efforts.
In an increasingly hostile market, processing information is the key to making a well-informed yet expedient decision maker. Decisions are made at a blistering pace in the business world, and your ISP should muster up the ingredients.
Mobility and access to information anytime, anywhere have become ever more crucial. Another key consideration is collaboration-of-business partners that must be able to communicate efficiently and easily.
That's why a need for a unified messaging services and a developed Windows NT-based system that can handle voice mail, fax, e-mail, and ultimately other media types, is a necessity right-now !!!
This all-in-one mailbox or personal message center, could allow the user a free choice of access via—PC or telephone. Users can access their unified messaging inbox from the office phone or any phone anywhere in the world, and manage messages via a Phone-Mail user interface. Users can now have their voice messages read to them, fax messages faxed to them, and e-mails faxed to them or read to them using text-to-speech!
There are plenty of software bundles out there for the asking. Name one? orchestrate.com
Users can also manage their messages via a PC, Telephone, from an e-mail source. Users simply open their e-mail application and access all messages in a single message queue. Voice messages can be played and recorded over a multimedia player via the users' PC, or via the phone with PC control. Faxes can be created and viewed on the desktop, and e-mails can be processed as usual. Rather than being at the mercy of complex technology, users should find it easy to exercise control over a unique-intuitive interface. It should be amazingly simple to handle, enhancing productivity by allowing workers to focus on the task at hand and use their time more efficiently.
What I've seen, called "Message morphing technology", allows greater flexibility in communicating than ever before. Message morphing is the capability for message media to be combined and converted with almost unlimited possibilities. With Message morphing, this allows users to communicate in the media, or multiple media, most effective for their communication, and then lets the recipient receive the message in the media, or multiple media, that's most convenient at that time.
With its standard-based architecture and modular, a scalable design, and should be is easy to integrate into existing applications, i.e. Microsoft Exchange, and various 3rd-party fax server applications today. Moreover, the use of open interfaces such as SMTP/MIME, LDAP, and others allow existing communication resources to be exploited. At the same time, it saves time and money because the end-user training effort is minimal, and there are no new user interfaces to learn.
Unified messaging for the enterprising client.
Is FNet up to the unified task? I sure as hell hope so one of these days.
