Leading Analyst Firm Names AVST a Visionary
Foothill Ranch,
The report noted that UC technology and applications have matured considerably in the last year. Products such as AVST’s CallXpress unified communications platform and Seneca® advanced speech module are gaining acceptance because they offer significant value to the enterprise market. According to Gartner, AVST’s CallXpress solution should be considered by companies that are looking for a platform-independent migration path from voice mail to unified messaging and a third party unified communication solution.
Gartner analysts Bern Elliot, Steve Blood and Drew Kraus evaluated AVST and 12 other unified communications (UC) providers on each company's technology vision and ability to execute in the marketplace. The report defines visionaries as companies that demonstrate a clear understanding of the UC market and offer a strong technical approach to one or two core areas.
“Being named a visionary by a well-respected analyst firm such as Gartner validates AVST’s strategy and roadmap,” said
CallXpress has a robust feature set that unifies email, voice mail and fax inboxes and enables hands-free phone access to voice mail, e-mail, fax, calendar and contacts. It provides flexible management on the road, allowing users to manage voice, fax and e-mail messages from any location at any time—whether via desktop, laptop, PDA, wired telephone or cell phone. When LAN or Web access is not available, all messages can be managed in one phone call. From a desktop computer, CallXpress users have access to voice, fax and e-mail messages in a single e-mail inbox.
