On March 3 & 4, there will be a Business Solutions Conference as part of the Computer Telephony Expo Spring 99. This is mainly a high level discussion designed for learning by telephony pros. One of the speakers will be Dave Corley, Technical Marketing Manager at Cisco Systems. Here is an excerpt from the program: "Traditionally, network traffic has been heavily weighed to voice. Today, wide-spread use of the Internet is creating a dramatic increase in data traffic. As a result, companies are looking to merge their voice and data net- works and enterprise phone systems are evolving to work over IP. This session provides IT, Telecom and Call Center professionals with information about ways to evolve their legacy PBX networks to phone systems that run over a combined voice and data network." "You will learn how to migrate to a combined voice and date network over IP without throwing away your existing PBX infrastructure." Sound at all familiar? Several years ago I asked JC how the information super highway (as it was then known) fit into Aspect's future plans. His answer was that "it's on my radar screen." That was 4 or 5 years ago, maybe longer. My point: Aspect is not new to the neighborhood. This is really quite exciting and the stock price has been beaten down by people who are not and for some reason fall victim to FUD. Once the market gets it, I think we will see a return to proper valuations.
