Ideal for Small Organizations that Demand Big Business UC Functionality

AVST has just unveiled a new product line, the AVST CX-S. CX-S is the perfect solution for SMB’s looking for enterprise-class UC solutions. Not only is it delivered on the industry’s most interoperable platform, it’s jam-packed with feature rich mobility solutions. And, to add icing on the cake, it’s available at an incredibly low price. When we sat down to design the CX-S, we first asked customers what they were looking for. Their feedback was extremely important on the design of this new product line.

The CX-S solution comes standard with all of the best technology AVST has to offer including:

AVST Mobile Client for iPhone and Android
Unified Messaging
Personal Assistant (Speech and DTMF)
Speech
Single Number Reach
Mobile Number Protection
Web PhoneManager
Voicemail
Automated Attendant (Speech and DTMF)
Message Notification
Single IP Integration

All CX-S software is pre-installed on a Dell server and comes packaged with a three year “bumper to bumper” hardware warranty. We’ve also included 3 years of XpressCare.

AVST Announces Plans For 2010 End User Seminar Series

Blog Administrator — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:30:51 +0000

Conscious of the current global economy and its effect on our customers, AVST has decided to take a brief pause from hosting our annual conference to focus efforts on expanding the benefits of the AVST online community. During this time, we have been talking to customers from around the country about options for the 2010 CallXpress End User Conference. The feedback has been consistent – end users want to participate, but they are limited by corporate travel restrictions.

So, AVST has decided to change the format of the CallXpress End User Conference in 2010 to ensure we provide as many customers as possible with the opportunity to connect and collaborate with their peers. Instead of requiring end users from all over the world to travel to a single location, starting in Spring 2010, AVST will be taking the show on the road and offering a series of 1-day end user seminars across the U.S. The multi-city tour will allow users to come together at regional venues to share ideas and expertise with other users, as well as provide access to AVST executives and product specialists in a small group environment.

The final cities will be announced on AVST Blog soon…stay tuned for more information!

Looking Forward to Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2009

Blog Administrator — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:02:28 +0000

For the past 19 years, CIOs and senior IT leaders from every industry have been gathering at Gartner’s Symposium/ITxpo to experience information-packed sessions led by Gartner analysts, cutting-edge technology showcases, peer exchange workshops, One-on-One meetings with analysts and more.

This year Gartner is anticipating over 5,000 IT leaders including 1,200 CIOs from more than 2,750 companies will gather to interact and share their knowledge and objectives at next week’s event in Orlando, Florida. Rest assured, AVST execs will be at the 5-day event to hear what the Gartner Analysts have to say about how business technology can help organizations return to growth by balancing cost optimization and risk mitigation. In addition to attending many of the informative sessions available at the Symposium, Hardy Myers, Tom Minifie and Denny Michael will also be on hand to interact with fellow attendees and look forward to spending time with many CallXpress customers.

If you are attending the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2009 and would like to schedule a meeting with one of AVST’s executives, please contact Judy Werner to coordinate.

Greetings from VoiceCon San Francisco 2008!

Denny Michael — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:00:07 +0000

Yesterday I arrived in San Francisco to get our new exhibit booth ready for AVST’s participation in VoiceCon® San Francisco 2008. Joining me at the show are AVST executives, Hardy Myers and Mike Berlin, in addition to members of our marketing, sales and engineering teams.

AVST has been actively participating in this annual event for at least the past 4 years. And it is an important event to us (and the AVST Community) because it focuses on the issues central to enterprise voice networks and the migration to IP telephony and convergence. As the VP of Marketing for AVST, I also know that an event of this quality and caliber also provides a unique opportunity to bring decision makers together with the industry’s pioneering end users, vendors and consultants.

While attending and participating in this year’s event the AVST staff will share how interoperability is key to any effective UC solution. We understand the sizable investment you’ve already made in your IT infrastructure (telephony, groupware, and enterprise business applications from multiple vendors). After all, it would be impractical and extremely costly to rip out and replace all components when building your UC strategy. CallXpress is ideally suited to fill this gap and support your disparate or evolutionary transition of your enterprises’ communications infrastructure.

I’ve highlighted a few of the activities we will be participating in below:

We created a new 20×20 booth that visually showcases the CallXpress suite of communication applications including call processing, voicemail, unified messaging, fax, notification, hands-free speech based personal assistant and automated attendant and communication enabled business processes (CEBP).
AVST’s Vice President of Sales and Business Development, Mike Berlin, will participate in a panel discussion titled, “Voice Messaging: Are PBXs Still Needed?" on Wednesday, November 12, at 4:00 p.m. PST, in room 124 of the convention center.
Also on Wednesday the 12th, at 5:15 p.m. PST, CallXpress will be showcased during a 30-minute product briefing session on the show floor.
We are conducting 16 Press and Industry Analyst briefings over the 2 day show period with a great deal “post show” follow up in the coming weeks.

We also just attended the first Pan European VoiceCon show in Amsterdam a few weeks ago and will also be attending the VoiceCon show in Orlando in the spring of 2009. I’ll write more once I return.
