Cambridge, MA. and Vancouver, Canada, June 3, 2003
- Common Voices LLC, an emerging leader of open standards based enhanced
service solutions, and Convedia Corporation, a leading provider of carrier
class media processing platforms, today announced the signing of a partnership
that will enable wireline, wireless, and cable telecommunication service
providers to deploy new applications cost effectively. The Common Voices
and Convedia solutions will allow carriers to offer new services using
existing equipment. In addition, they will aid carriers in migrating seamlessly
to next generation equipment.
"It is important to Common Voices to form partnerships with companies
that understand the reliability requirements of telecom carriers," said
Don Picard, CEO of Common Voices. "Convedia’s products were designed
to meet these very rigid requirements and the company is a leader in the
development of carrier class IP Media Servers. We are pleased to be working
with such a highly qualified partner."
Common Voices offers a range of products and services
that include NowMessage™, a full-featured
unified messaging solution, giving subscribers access to voicemail, e-mail
and fax messages over the phone or the Web; NowConnect™,
an automated attendant with sophisticated features such as dial-by-name
and Web-based system administration; and NowThere™,
patent pending software that enables Carriers to seamlessly migrate a
subscriber’s existing mailbox to a new system—even an existing
mailbox from another Carrier’s system.
"Common Voices and Convedia share a common vision
and commitment to standards such as SIP and VoiceXML which help service
providers accelerate the introduction of high margin, network based services,"
said Grant Henderson, Convedia’s Executive Vice President of Marketing
and Strategy. "The Common Voices management team has extensive experience
in the industry and its technical team includes some of the industry’s
voice mail and unified messaging pioneers. We are pleased to have been
chosen by Common Voices as an integral component of their solutions."
