"People are facing increasing pressures to improve their productivity and mobility," says Edward Furtak, Chairman and CEO of Conexys Corp. Ltd. "If a telco, ISP or Internet portal does not provide a fully-integrated messaging solution to these users in the next 12-18 months, it will lose customers to one that does. A fully outsourced, value-added solution such as Conexys iComMand, which offers the customer improved management of their communications regardless of the format or their location, is a sure winner for Canadian Channel Partners."
"A fully outsourced solution like that offered by Conexys provides Canadian Channel Partners with an opportunity to profit from today's era of communications convergence and offer a true value-added service to their customers," says Tony Olvet, Director, Partner and Channel Programs, at IDC Canada.
The iComMand service targets telcos, cable companies and ISP's and is comprised of a carrier-grade, scalable and secure, Web-based communication platform tailored to meet the needs of end-users.
With an iComMand account, users can access Conexys E-Mail By Phone services via a touch-tone telephone interface and a voice user interface that is powered by Text-to-Speech technology. Converting e-mail to speech is a complex problem that the enhanced Conexys iComMand solution resolves through the use of a robust L&H Text-To-Speech toolkit and specialized, server-side hardware, including voice access cards from Brooktrout Technology.
