ARTISOFT AND BYTES, BITS & MEGABYTES PARTNER FOR CONTACT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
PhoneMagic integrates TeleVantage with GoldMine for comprehensive contact history
Cambridge, MA and Orlando, FL – July 8, 2003 – Artisoft®, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASFTC), developer of the first software-based phone system, and Bytes, Bits & Megabytes, a leading communication solutions provider of voice, data, and video technologies, today announced the availability of a cost-effective, time-saving contact management solution. By integrating Artisoft’s TeleVantage® 5.0 with Phone Magic, by the Integration Wizard, TeleVantage voice mails are automatically linked to customer records in a FrontRange SolutionsÔ GoldMine® database. This strategic relationship, formed under Artisoft’s Open Communication Alliance, empowers both companies to promote the solution to their respective channels.
Phone Magic completes the bridge for unified messaging between TeleVantage and GoldMine, by automatically identifying the caller id from the incoming voice mail message and linking it to the correct contact in GoldMine. Now, TeleVantage voice messages are automatically added to the GoldMine history for the appropriate contact. Phone Magic works seamlessly at the server level, running as an application on a GoldMine Server and linking to a TeleVantage server
“The open systems design of TeleVantage allows for integration with a wide range of complementary products,” said Diana Vlamis, director of Business Development at Artisoft. “Phone Magic for GoldMine is a great time-saving tool that substantially increases the value of a GoldMine history database by including TeleVantage voice mails.”
