Foothill Ranch, Calif., August 9, 2004 – In an ongoing effort to educate enterprise executives on the benefits of evolving from a first generation legacy voice mail system to a robust second generation unified communications platform, Applied Voice & Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST) and Ziff Davis Media have joined forces to present a live Web-based eSeminar titled “Moving Voice Mail Into the 21st Century” at 12:30 p.m. Eastern / 9:30 a.m. Pacific on Thursday, August 12, 2004.
Targeted to enterprise-level CTO’s, CIO’s and IT managers, this 30-minute eSeminar, the second in a series of events hosted jointly by AVST and Ziff Davis Media, provides an open forum for dialogue that enables industry leaders to gain a deeper understanding of the options available to them as they develop next generation communications strategies.
“This eSeminar provides us with a venue to explore the variety of ways that companies can take advantage of newer technologies and advancements in unified communications that can result in improved customer service, better return on investment, and a significant competitive advantage,” said Denny Michael, AVST’s vice president of marketing. “Next generation communications solutions provide valuable connections with clients, customers, and suppliers.
