Communications ROI & Results are the Focus of VoiceCon Orlando 2009

Just around the corner looms an industry event that today is perhaps more important than ever before. That event is VoiceCon Spring in Orlando starting March 30, 2009. At VoiceCon, enterprise decision makers from around the world converge to see the newest trends and innovations and hear from experts in IP telephony, Unified Communications and converged networks.

AVST is always involved in this show not only as an exhibitor but also speaking on panels about industry trends as well.  On Wednesday, April 1, from 8-8:45 a.m, Tom Minifie, AVST’s Chief Technology Officer, will participate in a panel discussion hosted by Blair Pleasant entitled The Future of Voice Messaging.

This year’s show is particularly important because of the industry’s need to educate users on how they can maximize their communications investments and find new ways to gain efficiency. It has never been more important than now to know your options. AVST will be in booth 505. If anyone of the CallXpress User Group is going to the show please let us know so that we can meet and spend time with you.

• About VoiceCon

Greetings from VoiceCon San Francisco 2008!

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:

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
