This could be very interesting. A live discussion today where you can ask questions. informedinvestors.com Unified Messaging ? Opportunities For Investors To Be Discussed By Cowen Analyst, Industry Executive On Informed Investors Radio SACRAMENTO, CA - December 16, 1999 - Unified messaging is the next wave of telecommunications evolution, according to proponents of the technology. Imagine being able to access all varieties of messages - voice, email, fax and data - through a single device from anywhere on any kind of device. For informed insight into the opportunities available as unified messaging takes hold, plan on listening to today's Informed Investors Radio with guests Jim Kedersha, Telecommunications Equipment Analyst at SG Cowen, and Randy Ottinger, President of the CTI Software division of AVT Corp. (Nasdaq:AVTC), AVT's unified messaging unit. The show airs 1:00-2:00 p.m. EST on WALE in Providence and KFNX in Phoenix, as well as live and delayed at www.informedinvestors.com. Listeners may send live questions via email during the show to cohost Tim Quast at tim@informedinvestors.com. For most of us, email, voicemail, paging and fax entail separate systems, each requiring its own particular set of devices, skills and procedures. Unified messaging promises to bring those functions together, enabling information to be accessed from anyplace, anytime. It is envisioned that users will have what amounts to a universal inbox, or "messaging center" where they can retrieve email, faxes, voicemail and pages. Similarly, a common set of tools and interfaces will be used to create, send and manage these different types of messages. The tome/money and productivity benefits are potentially enormous. Kedersha follows the telecommunications equipment sector for Cowen. He will discuss unified messaging initiatives by companies in his coverage including Lucent (NYSE:LU) and Nortel (NYSE:NT). Kedersha will describe how lines are blurring among the communications companies facilitating the transition to the "unified messaging" world of the future and which companies stand to benefit. AVT recently announced an agreement with IBM's Lotus Development Corp. to develop unified messaging for millions of Lotus Notes users. Ottinger will discuss the ramifications of that agreement and other initiatives underway at AVT.
