AVST Bolsters Unified Communications Portfolio With CX-C Cloud Platform
FOOTHILL RANCH, CA, Mar 21, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Applied Voice & Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST) unveils AVST CX-C
(CX-C), a cloud-based Unified Communications (UC) platform. The
introduction of CX-C bolsters AVST's portfolio of UC solutions that
includes premise-based, private and public cloud offerings. Based on
a subscription fee licensing model, CX-C is a platform designed to
support the requirements of UC service providers, wireless carriers
and network operators.
The AVST CX-C platform was designed and engineered to address the
growing demand for Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS).
According to industry analyst firm Gartner, businesses of up to 3,000
employees are now deploying UCaaS, with expansion to larger accounts
expected in 2012 as offerings from larger UCaaS suppliers mature.(1)
AVST brings three decades of experience and leadership in the UC
marketplace and understands the requirements for the public cloud.
"Unlike many other enterprise UC solutions being re-engineered to fit
the cloud, CX-C was specifically designed to be cloud-ready from the
start," said Tom Minifie, AVST's Chief Technology Officer. "CX-C is a
highly scalable and interoperable cloud platform delivering rich UC
features coupled with resiliency and administrative control."
CX-C features include:
-- Unified messaging
-- Single number reach
-- Call processing
-- Highly scalable with up to one million subscribers supported
-- Multi-tenant support
-- Resilient platform delivering high availability and disaster recovery
-- Complete administrative control and security
-- Extensive interoperability with direct telephony SIP integrations and
SIP media gateways
NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leader in the integration of IT and
network technologies, is the first company to leverage CX-C,
seamlessly integrating it into the UNIVERGE Cloud Services Unified
Communications-as-a-Service offering.
"Delivering reliable cloud-based UC solutions to our customers is a
high priority for NEC," said Jay Krauser, Director of Cloud Services,
NEC. "We have selected AVST's CX-C cloud platform as a component of
our UNIVERGE Cloud Services product line. NEC and AVST have a long
history of jointly delivering UC solutions that are feature rich,
reliable and scalable. We take great pride in the solutions that we
bring to our customers."

About AVST
The typical enterprise communications infrastructure is
made up of a collection of technologies from multiple vendors,
acquired over time and never intended to work together. To maximize
user and business productivity, while leveraging existing IT
investments, interoperability is a must.
AVST delivers best-of-breed enterprise-class mobility, voice, and
business process solutions on the industry's most interoperable
Unified Communications (UC) platform. Unlike virtually every other UC
vendor, AVST does not constrain customers with a single vendor
lock-in approach. By connecting new and existing technologies, AVST
frees organizations from the constraints of a closed, single-source
UC solution, unlocking the full potential of their communications
infrastructure.
With over 15 million users worldwide and three decades of innovation
excellence, AVST is unifying communications(R).
Headquartered in Orange County, California, AVST maintains facilities
in Seattle, Washington, Victoria B.C., Canada and the United Kingdom
