eNterprise IP Messenger BrochureUnify & Simplify all your daily communications
The eNterprise IP Messenger integrates with legacy platforms as well as new methods of communication — like voice over IP, corporate instant messaging and other collaborative technologies to create one all-inclusive and user-friendly communications network. IP Messenger enables you to access, manage and respond to any kind of message (voice, fax or e-mail), using any device (phone, PC, web or PDA), from anywhere (office, road, home or remote), at anytime. It can even emulate your existing voice mail system interface to eliminate upgrade issues.
What does it all mean to you?
Enhanced productivity. Greater responsiveness. Increased reliability. Considerable cost savings. Remarkable ROI. Increased responsiveness is most easily outlined in this example: While traveling into the office or out at lunch, an employee can use their cell phone or check their wireless PDA for urgent messages — i.e. voicemails, faxes or e-mail messages. Gone are the days where you would have to power up a PC and find a phone line to connect it to. Whether by phone, wireless devices (PDA, Blackberry, iPhone, Cell Phone) or e-mail, and with the ability to manage all of their communications using the rich capabilities of the mail client, all employees can file critical voicemail and fax messages in the same way they file e-mail messages, into a specific folder for future reference or even security compliance.
With IP Messenger, respond to messages anytime, anywhere, from any device. IP Messenger is all about security, convenience and choice. Here’s how it works: the sender decides whether to send a fax, e-mail or voicemail message. The recipient then chooses how to access that message, unencumbered in any way by the form of the message. Senders and recipients can choose the device they prefer, dramatically improving users productivity and improving overall corporate responsiveness.
Speech Enabled Find Me/Follow Me Automation and Mobility
Business has become predominately a messaging environment and those companies that figure out how to increase live interactions with customers and reduce messaging with them will deliver the competitive differentiation that will allow them to succeed in today’s global market place!
IP Messenger links the mobile workforce to their office infrastructure through speech and presence technology enabling your workforce to answer calls LIVE in real time no matter where they may be. Leveraging Speech recognition technology from Nuance, callers and employees simply say a name or department and depending on the users availability, presence, and location, IP Messenger will connect the caller to the user in real-time, dramatically lowering your daily messaging and vastly improving your customer satisfaction.

Emergency Alert Text Messaging
Emergency Alerts
With Text messaging we have the ability to send a message string out to the lowest common denominator… a cell phone. Text messaging provides us a ubiquitous way to blast out a message to a large group of people at once. With intelligent server software we can then look at user profiles and ensure delivery based on their presence. For example, if they're online send the text to their computer, if they are off line sent the alert directly to their phone. Even better, if the phone has no text capability call the phone and play the text back to them leveraging text to speech technology. Adding intelligence to the message alert system can deliver real-time instant notification of any event including natural disasters and emergencies.
Text messaging becomes an excellent utility with a feature of "emergency broadcasting" to remote users. With the reality of confused evacuations and natural disasters, a tool such as text messaging provides a means for instant emergency messaging to people in the field or community. Envision hospital attendants sending text messages to ambulance drivers, or campus staff broadcasting a lock-down to its students. They would never get a busy message and the message would instantly end-up on their cell phones and laptops, without having to login to e-mail or check voice mail. Similar to push-to-talk the message can be delivered over any wireless network.
How it works
The IP Messenger Server enables clients to send urgent messages to multiple devices of subscribers within an entire community or groups of communities to communicate important information. The client software sends the text message and leverages the UC server to look at each user profile, and based on their present status broadcast a text message to a cell phone, PDA, PC, or all the devices at the same time ensuring real-time delivery.
The service can instantly and simultaneously send alerts to a subscriber's:
- Mobile phone (via SMS text message)
- Traditional land line or wired phone (via text-to-speech)
- Satellite phone
- Blackberry
- Smartphone
- Wireless PDA
- Pager
- E-mail account
Unified Communications is ideal for organizations responsible for the well being of citizens, employees, students, athletes, volunteers, partners, first responders and others. Terrorism. Severe weather. violent crimes. power outage. water main breaks. hazardous material spills. gas leaks. All of these scenarios happen in an instant. The question is, will your organization be prepared to communicate urgent news before it’s too late?
- Increase the level of safety in the community, workplace or campus
- Increase the reach of communications with your subscribers
- Keep your subscribers informed in real-time
- Reduce communication costs from TV, radio, paper, mail, posters etc.
Traditionally phone dialer systems were created to notify people of important announcements. The main problem with reverse calling systems is that they don’t work well during periods of high phone traffic. For example, wired and wireless phone lines were busy for hours during the terrorist attacks on September 11th. However, SMS text messages went through just fine because they have smaller bandwidth requirements.
Following the same example, web sites that posted news of the 9/11 attacks also experienced high traffic loads, thereby making the pages unavailable to many. Website visitors simply saw the message “page operation timed out.” The massive increase in web traffic was similar to a “denial of service” attack, making the website useless for many who needed vital information to determine his/her next step.
Wireless networks are virtually in every populated area and reach nearly 200 million cell phones and wireless e-mail devices. Even when the networks become jammed and cannot process voice calls the light traffic of text messaging still gets through! It’s the way to say what you want that doesn't require talking and is always available.
