Features High Resiliency and Unified Messaging to Google Gmail with CallXpress

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 19, 2010 - This week at the 39th Annual ACUTA Conference and Exhibition, Applied Voice & Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST) will be showcasing its flagship Unified Communications (UC) platform, CallXpress® 8, at booth #213 on the show floor at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort in San Antonio, Texas, on April 18-21. AVST will focus on the most critical capabilities that enterprises should consider when looking to deploy their next generation UC solution.

AVST intends to clear the confusion for enterprise decision-makers searching for the right solution to migrate from a legacy voicemail environment to UC. AVST is sponsoring a breakout session during the ACUTA program titled, "8 Critical Capabilities for Building Your Campus Communications," presented by Hardy Myers, President & CEO of AVST. AVST will identify and weigh the critical capabilities in building a campus telephony infrastructure, including: architecture; scalability; high-availability options; UC integration capability; mobility options; management; diagnostic and remote support; and open standards. This session is scheduled for Monday, April 19 at 1:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. in the Grand Oaks ‘N’ Meeting Room.

AVST will showcase how CallXpress delivers a high level of resiliency through a hot standby server and off-site disaster recovery deployment and expands unified messaging capabilities to Google Gmail, Microsoft® Outlook®, IBM® Lotus® Notes, Novell® GroupWise®, Mirapoint®, or any IMAP4 compliant e-mail system. CallXpress continues to deliver the core capabilities that are essential to universities and colleges by offering unparalleled PBX integration interoperability, high availability, and scalability to meeting the growing demands to centralize voice networks.

“CallXpress is installed at more than 800 educational institutions and has had great success in the higher education marketplace. Each year we look forward to participating in ACUTA’s regional events as well as their annual national event, to help higher education campuses replace their outdated voicemail systems with a next-generation communications-enabled platform that supports their UC needs. Our solution is a natural fit for the ACUTA audience, making this the perfect place to co-strategize while providing attendees with a forum to share information and actively participate in the development of AVST's future offerings," said Denny Michael, AVST's Vice President of Marketing.

AVST is also hosting a User Group Meeting for AVST or Active Voice customers attending the ACUTA conference, which is scheduled for Monday, April 19 at 3:45 p.m. – 5:15 p.m. in the Grand Oaks ‘N’ Meeting Room. Tom Minifie, CTO of AVST, will present a roadmap for CallXpress 8. User Group member Scott Claverie, of California State University, Chico, will lead the forum on suggested topics from those in attendance.
