AVST Continues to Expand in the Healthcare Industry With Over 600 Deployments Worldwide
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) FOOTHILL RANCH, CA, May 20 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Applied
Voice & Speech Technologies, Inc. (AVST) today announced that
healthcare organizations around the globe are adopting its flagship
product,
CallXpress?. Healthcare organizations are under pressure to lower costs and
continually work to enrich patient communications. As a result, over 600
hospitals, clinics and medical organizations worldwide have selected
CallXpress to improve their overall communication.
"More and more healthcare organizations are turning to AVST to assist them
in replacing existing voice mail systems with next generation
communications platforms," said Denny Michael, AVST's Vice
President of Marketing. "Whether a business is looking to replace an
outdated voice mail system or move to unified messaging, and ultimately
unified communications, we can provide the technology roadmap to get them
to their goal."
AVST has a successful track record of over 600 worldwide installations
including a growing list of large and reputable hospitals and healthcare
organizations including Saint Barnabas Health Care System.
Saint Barnabas Health Care System of
West Orange, New Jersey had an outdated Centigram voice mail system that
needed to be replaced, but wanted to maintain their existing NEC PBX
system. CallXpress was an ideal choice for them because it emulated the
command structure of their previous Centigram voice mail system, which
minimized user training after the installation. Today, over 7,000 users
take advantage of CallXpress with eight centers across its hospitals and
healthcare affiliates all networked together.
In addition to Saint Barnabas Health Care System, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center,
based in N.Y., has been an AVST customer for nearly ten years. Jamaica
Hospital operates a network of medical centers known as Medisys Family Care
Centers, a billing facility, an administrative location and Brookdale
Hospital in N.Y. Jamaica Hospital Medical Center has standardized on
CallXpress across all locations.
"Many healthcare organizations are in need of a solution that is flexible
and can integrate seamlessly with a mixed PBX environment across a host of
sites," added Michael. "We come to these organizations with a solution
that meets their needs and we back it with over 25 years of industry
expertise and an extensive network of channel partners that provide
exceptional service and support. That's why CallXpress has been the
solution of choice for so many."
CallXpress is a Unified Communications platform that delivers world-class
call processing, voice mail, unified messaging, fax, notification and
speech-enabled personal assistant capabilities to help healthcare
organizations become more productive. CallXpress ensures that doctors,
nurses and staff can communicate quickly by managing voice, fax and e-mail
messages from any location at any time -- via laptop, telephone, cell phone
or the Internet. In addition, the platform is the ideal solution to meet
healthcare regulatory compliances and replace legacy voice mail systems
with the least disruption to their existing IT infrastructure. As a
result, CallXpress offers quick and painless conversions to next generation
technology while reducing costs and enhancing the patient experience.
