Headed by Chief Executive Officer Richard Martel, LocusDialog will focus its corporate endeavours on the design, creation, and marketing of call routing products and solutions for the enterprise sector. Specifically, the company's efforts will be entirely concentrated on delivering the renowned Liaison(tm) speech-enabled call routing system as its marquee offering to enterprise customers. Additionally LocusDialog is increasing its international market footprint via ongoing strategic alliances with major global telecom manufacturers. CEO Martel emphasizes that the company is now autonomous from its former corporate parent InfoSpace, a provider of Internet infrastructures and services. LocusDialog's re-emphasis as a distinct corporate entity will allow it to fully leverage its established industry strength: that of a premiere provider of enterprise telephony call routing solutions that integrate the latest in advanced, standards-based speech recognition technologies. In line with this is the company's recent release of the newest version of the renowned Liaison(tm) speech-powered call routing system. Liaison(tm) version 6.0 is an even more cost-effective tool with which the workforce (especially the mobile professional) can improve productivity in today's demanding market conditions; it incorporates several system enhancements and powerful new options: * The voice biometrics-based Speaker Verification (SV) module allows users to add a business-critical layer of security and control to telephony resource access. * Callers can set up conference calls and redirect calls with simple voice commands. * Users can conveniently create personal speech-activated directories and menus using their MS Outlook contact list. SV-secured, speech-powered access to telephony resources from anywhere and using any phone now provides enterprises with the ability to significantly lower remote telecommunications costs. With its corporate repositioning LocusDialog maintains its enterprise-wide dedication to quality and quality products that incorporate innovative product and application development, effective deployment, and unique, ahead-of-the-curve sales and technical support programs.
