To: asker2 who wrote (53200 ) 6/30/2000 8:06:47 AM From: Untouchable Respond to of 150070 Since I have been following this board for a while thought you should know TSIS will become the leader in "hosting" AVR applications. This release is just the tip of the iceberg. Untouchable "Friday June 30, 5:04 am Eastern Time Company Press Release JambaTalk.com Selects Interactive Telesis to Host Speech-Enabled Scheduling Service Service Designed to Simplify the Lives of Busy People SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2000--Interactive Telesis Inc., (OTCBB:TSIS - news), a leader in specialized interactive voice response (IVR) services and deployment of speech recognition technologies, Friday announced that it will host JambaTalk.com's speech-enabled scheduling service. With the new JambaTalk service, consumers are able to make, change, or cancel service appointments at any time automatically, simply by speaking into any phone. JambaTalk.com has licensed speech recognition software from SpeechWorks International, a partner of Interactive Telesis, to provide a phone-based speech recognition channel complementary to its Internet services. The phone channel is particularly important in mobile and other environments lacking Internet connectivity. Sample customer relationship management (CRM) applications include automotive and medical service scheduling, and sales force automation. Spanish language compatibility provided in SpeechWorks 6.5 expands domestic market reach and enables expansion to lucrative Latin American markets lagging in Internet connectivity. Access via wireless devices such as PDAs is planned for future releases. ``We selected Interactive Telesis as our hosting partner because of their experience in hosting complex applications and their proven reputation with enterprise customers such as Yahoo!, NIKE and Excite@home,'' said Dr. John Harding, co-founder and CEO of JambaTalk.com. ``Interactive Telesis' open platform and instant scalability also give JambaTalk an important technological edge that allows for unlimited growth and flexibility.'' A typical use of the JambaTalk phone system would be in dental scheduling. The system first greets the caller: ``Hello, welcome to Newport Bay Dentistry. Please say 'appointment' if you'd like to make an appointment or say operator for the operator ...'' For an appointment, customer information is collected, followed by the customer being presented with the soonest possible time. If that time is not accepted, then the customer can say such words as ``tomorrow,'' ``next Tuesday,'' or ``August the sixth'' to proceed with appointment setting. Alternatively, the patient could request the appointment via the Web if they desire, and likewise the dental office can view their appointments via the Web. ``We are very excited that JambaTalk.com has selected Interactive Telesis as a hosting partner,'' stated Douglas T. Luke, vice president of operations for Interactive Telesis. ``JambaTalk's scheduling service represents a real productivity enhancement tool for small to mid-size businesses for consumers all across the country by combining the telephone and voice recognition technology to provide anytime, anywhere access to information for consumers on the go.'' JambaTalk.com is currently accepting select customers in its preview launch and plans to launch the full system in the third quarter of 2000. Over the next several months, JambaTalk.com anticipates several new initiatives.
