Selected as one of the most exciting applications at the Sylantro 2008 Global User Summit, the Excendia Virtual Assistant adds safe mobility and smart telephony to Sylantro’s hosted VoIP platform allowing users to use voice commands to access and manage their telephone, contacts, e-mails and appointments.
Montreal, November 27, 2008. Excendia Inc. is pleased to announce the integration of its speech-enabled Virtual Assistant with Sylantro’s Synergy hosted VoIP platform and its availability as part of Sylantro’s Synapps Catalogue of third party applications. Sylantro users can now use the Excendia Virtual Assistant to turn their driving time into productive work time with a safe, hands-free and eyes-free speech link to their office email and phone systems. Sylantro users can now have a Speech Dialer on their desk to call colleagues and contacts by name using speech commands. They can also use speech while driving to change their call forwarding and status, listen to their emails and reply to them or compose and send new ones, check their calendar and schedule new appointments, etc. The multilingual Speech Receptionist enables companies to offer convenience and first-class corporate image by allowing people to be transferred to the person or service they want to talk to by simply saying their name.
Excendia integrates Unified Communications, speech mobility, intelligent call routing, and voice-activated call forwarding to complement Sylantro’s hosted VoIP offering with convenient voice access to office data and telephone functions.
“We are excited about the availability of Excendia’s speech-enabled mobility application as part of our Synapps Catalogue. Excendia’s unique value proposition combines safety and business productivity for the business user which our service provider customers and re-sellers can use to differentiate themselves and increase revenues. Applications from developer partners such as Excendia are the keystone of Sylantro's vision for the next generation of IP communication services developed using our standards based Synergy platform and Synapps Web Services” said Shirish Andhare, Sylantro’s VP of Marketing.
"The Excendia Virtual Assistant translates the openness of IP Telephony and speech technologies into real benefits for Sylantro users by acting as a bridge between the user and her/his messaging and telephone infrastructure at the office resulting in new and unique speech-enabled services.” noted Gabor Barta, Vice-President, Sales and Business Development at Excendia. “It uses the business data to make the phone intelligent and uses the phone to make corporate data accessible remotely. It features safe mobility and increased productivity and can be configured for multi-language and multi-tenant operations. In essence, it turns any phone into a virtual office with a 24 X 7 personal assistant."
