AVST and Ziff Davis Media Join Forces to Discuss Benefits Of Modern Enterprise Communications Solutions
Foothill Ranch, Calif., November 4, 2004 – In an ongoing effort to educate enterprise executives on the benefits of evolving from legacy based first generation voice mail systems to robust second generation solutions, Applied Voice & Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST) and Ziff Davis Media have joined forces to present a live Web-based eSeminar titled “Your Voice Mail System Is Dead…It Just Hasn't Fallen Over Yet!” at 12:30 p.m. Eastern / 9:30 a.m. Pacific on Wednesday, November 10, 2004.
Targeted to enterprise-level CTO’s, CIO’s and IT managers, this 30-minute eSeminar is the third in a series of events hosted jointly by AVST and Ziff Davis Media. Its goal is to provide an open forum for dialogue that enables industry leaders to gain a deeper understanding of the need to replace outdated voice mail systems and the options available to them as they explore next generation communications strategies.
“Outdated voice messaging systems provide callers with frustration and disappointment, while costing businesses in lost opportunities. They can be a liability that should be replaced with the newer technologies,” said
The eSeminar begins with a 20-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute Q&A session. The presentation includes a real-life case study describing how AVST’s communications solutions positively impacted the operations of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, an international law firm with more than 1,100 lawyers across the United States, Europe and Asia. The case study will highlight the issues facing the firm, which had an obsolete first generation voice mail system, how the firm evaluated, acquired and implemented a second generation communications solution, and the financial impact of their decision. Online seminar speakers include:
- Randy Burkart, Director of IS Programs at Weil, Gotshal & Manges
- Frank Derfler, VP, Market Experts Group of Ziff Davis Media
- Hardy Myers, President and CEO of Applied Voice and Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST)
Those who attend this eSeminar will learn how they can:
- Try newer more cost effective solutions without disrupting existing operations
- Avoid the hassle of retraining employees on newer systems
- Impress customers with better responsiveness and call completions
- Reduce the number of vendors to deal with and eliminate system integration problems
- Enhance their businesses with an effective mobile worker strategy that is lacking with first generation systems.
