PALM SPRINGS, Calif., January 12, 2009Applied Voice & Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST) will be showcasing its flagship Unified Communications platform, CallXpress®, at the ACUTA Winter Seminar and Exhibition this week in Palm Springs, California.  Having deployed CallXpress in nearly 800 educational institutions, AVST is highly experienced in automating and making communication more efficient for students, faculty and staff within an educational environment.  AVST will be demonstrating CallXpress at booth #310 on the show floor at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort and Spa in Palm Springs, from January 11 – 13. 

ACUTA, which stands for the Association for Communications Technology Professionals in Higher Education, is an international non-profit educational association serving colleges and universities.  Representing over 1,700 individuals at nearly 800 institutions of higher education with members ranging from small schools and community colleges to the 50 largest U.S. institutions, ACUTA’s core purpose is to support higher education institutions in achieving optimal use of communications technologies.

“One of AVST’s main priorities is educating higher education administrators about the options available for upgrading to advanced communications systems,” noted Denny Michael, AVST’s Vice President of Marketing.  “The innovative features and capabilities of CallXpress appeal to education campuses of all sizes.  ACUTA’s audiences are a natural fit for AVST’s technology, and it is important that they learn about and fully understand all of the communications options that are available to them, in order to make the best choices for their unique environments.”

CallXpress delivers world-class call processing, voicemail, unified messaging, fax, notification and speech-enabled personal assistant and automated attendant capabilities to help colleges and universities become more productive.  Staff can manage voice, fax and e-mail messages from any location at any time—via laptop, telephone, cell phone or the Internet.  In addition, the platform is the ideal solution to replace legacy voicemail systems as well as support the latest IP-PBX integrations.  CallXpress was developed to offer quick and painless conversions to next generation technology through speedy implementation, simple administration and maintenance and telephone user interface emulations that are already familiar to users, resulting in minimal training.
