[March 31, 2004]
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Mar 31, 2004 (BUSINESS
WIRE) -- VocalData, Inc., an application developer of
hosted IP telephony solutions, today announced that
Cinergy Communications, a leading regional communications
service provider, has selected the VocalData Application
Server to support its enterprise hosted VoIP service,
available to business customers throughout Indiana,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio.
Cinergy Communications has been trialing
competing application servers for more than a year.
Following an exhaustive evaluation the VocalData Application
Server was selected to support the rollout of their
commercial service. Using the VocalData Application
Server, Cinergy Communications will deliver a significantly
enhanced portfolio of enhanced IP voice, fax, data and
video services to small and medium-sized businesses
as well as provide a hosted PBX solution to mid-size
and large enterprise customers.
Using the VocalData Application Server,
Cinergy Communications can also now give its customers
access to a much wider choice of IP phones -- at a price
that makes sound business sense -- as well as more robust
fail-over redundancy to eliminate any chances of downtime.
"At Cinergy Communications, we
are committed to providing our customers with more intelligent
and efficient ways to communicate, and our new partnership
with VocalData helps us do just that," said Pat
Heck, CTO for Cinergy Communications. "VocalData
was the only Application Server that provided us with
a highly intuitive user interface and a rich, proven
VoIP feature set that would grow with our business and
the requirements of our customers over time. The VocalData
Application Server also has a unique design that eliminates
nearly all single points of failure, and our sales force
has found that VocalData's training services are second
to none. We've been quite pleased with our new choice
to support our VoIP applications."
The advanced features and capabilities
of VocalData's Application Suite, delivered via the
VocalData Application Server, include on-demand conferencing,
click-to-dial calling, find-me/follow-me calling and
visual voice mail, and voice mail message archival.
Customers can easily access telephony services from
anywhere using a highly intuitive online Web portal
or one of a wide variety of IP telephones.
"VocalData is pleased to enable
Cinergy Communications to offer both a mature, proven
set of VoIP applications and a wide variety of phone
choices to meet the varying needs of its customer base,"
said Mark Whittier, vice president, VocalData. "We
look at each new customer win as the beginning of a
new partnership -- after all, our success as a VoIP
vendor is closely linked to the success of innovative
service providers such as Cinergy Communications."
