Enables 1000+ Educational Institutions with Unified Communication Solutions to Transform Productivity
BALTIMORE, MD, July 17th-19th, 2011 – This week at the 2011 ACUTA Summer Seminar, Applied Voice & Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST) will demonstrate how CallXpress® 8 transforms the productivity of students, staff, and faculty. Leveraging its 30 years of experience in deploying solutions to the higher education community, AVST will highlight ways to increase business process efficiency through automation, deliver mobility to individuals, and cost effectively migrate to next generation unified communications (UC) applications while leveraging existing IT infrastructure investments. AVST will be on the show floor in booth #210 at the Hyatt Regency in Baltimore, Maryland from July 17-19th.
Many universities and colleges are served by legacy voicemail systems that are long overdue for replacement or upgrade. In today’s economic climate, the prospect of a “rip and replace” IP telephony initiative is not only overwhelming, but downright unaffordable. AVST will help attendees identify steps to building an affordable, phased migration from legacy voicemail solutions to next generation unified communications applications, resulting in a strong return on their UC investment.
Mobility will also be demonstrated, as CallXpress 8 offers a variety of mobile friendly features such as personal assistant, unified messaging, mobile number protection, find-me/ follow-me for single number reach, speech-to-text, hands-free/eyes-free speech interface, and notification to keep faculty and staff connected on the move – regardless of location.
CallXpress also features powerful Communication-Enabled Business Processes (CEBP) solutions, providing colleges and universities with customized applications to increase business efficiency. Some of these applications include: notifications of school closures, campus events, absences, proactive payment reminders, access to course information, events hotline and click-to-call from a campus directory. These applications allow for automated communications reducing human latency and increasing productivity.
“The communications landscape is always changing, and CallXpress provides colleges and universities with the flexibility to keep up to date,” said Denny Michael, AVST’s Vice President of Marketing. “Our industry leading interoperability with all the major telephone, email systems, and business applications ensures that CallXpress will work with your communications infrastructure today and tomorrow.”
