AVST Provides Advanced Communications Offering To Small Companies And Branch Offices

Launch of CallXpress® Server Bundle Offers Powerful Communications Advantages to Smaller Businesses at Lower Cost

Foothill Ranch, Calif., June 20, 2005Applied Voice & Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST), today announced a new communications solution that delivers AVST’s world class technology to smaller companies and enterprise branch offices.  The CallXpress® Server Bundle is designed to provide smaller businesses with the same powerful communications features and functionality that larger enterprises enjoy.  The platform also supports the enterprise trend towards standardization of communications infrastructure across all geographic locations.

Aiming to help employees communicate and collaborate more productively and effectively regardless of physical location, the CallXpress Server Bundle is the ideal solution for small businesses of all types.  AVST has packaged this edition of CallXpress as a bundled solution that offers the same robust features of its flagship product – CallXpress 7.7 – to support enterprise-like, application-rich communications on a smaller scale and at a lower price point. 

“Extending our leadership in the enterprise communications space, AVST continues to deliver solutions that appeal to the broadest segment of the market,” said AVST’s President and CEO, Hardy Myers.  “This CallXpress offering is exactly what our customers and resellers have been requesting.  It meets the requirements of the SMB market and also supports larger enterprises that have branch or remote locations.”

According to the United States Census Bureau, there are over five million small to medium businesses in the United States.  Most of these companies continue to use obsolete first generation voice mail systems today.  “Small to medium businesses have traditionally been early adopters of cutting-edge technologies,” added Myers.  “But until now, the pricing of second generation solutions like CallXpress 7.7 for the SMB market has generally been prohibitive.  AVST is excited to offer a solution bundle that is both appealing and affordable to companies in the SMB market that view their communications capabilities as a critical part of their business competitive advantage.”

To offer the CallXpress® Server Bundle, AVST partnered with Intel® and Alliance Systems, an original design manufacturer (ODM) of high reliability servers and an authorized Intel distributor.  The solution includes both hardware and software in a single, easy to install bundle and is immediately available in 4 and 8 port configurations through AVST’s established reseller channels. 

AVST has an extensive list of partners that sell and support its unified communications solutions throughout the world.  Companies of all sizes in all industries that are interested in experiencing AVST’s solutions can request information regarding CallXpress at http://www.avst.com/contactus/requestinfo.asp.  Companies seeking to contact an Authorized AVST Reseller should visit AVST’s website at http://www.avst.com/products/callxpressMessaging/howtobuy.asp.

About AVST

The typical enterprise communications infrastructure is made up of a collection of technologies from multiple vendors, acquired over time and never intended to work together. To maximize user and business productivity, while leveraging existing IT investments, interoperability is a must.

AVST delivers the industry's most interoperable Unified Communications (UC) platform that brings best-of-breed voice, mobility and business process solutions to the enterprise. Unlike virtually every other UC vendor, AVST does not constrain customers with a single vendor lock-in approach. In fact, it's the very opposite. By connecting new and existing technologies, AVST frees organizations from the constraints of a closed, single-source UC solution, unlocking the full potential of their communications infrastructure.

With over 15 million users worldwide and three decades of innovation excellence, AVST is unifying communications®.

Headquartered in Orange County, California, AVST maintains facilities in Seattle, Washington, Victoria B.C., Canada and the United Kingdom and has remote sales offices throughout the United States. AVST's UC solutions are sold and supported worldwide by an extensive network of resellers and OEM partners.
