NorthAmerican Teleconference Continues to Expand their Offering on ThinkEngine Networks' VSR1000 Media Server
VSR1000 is the Backbone of their Flexible Integrated Business Communications Platform
May 29, 2007 Marlborough, MA and Atlanta, GA - ThinkEngine Networks, Inc (AMEX: THN), a leading provider of TDM and IP capable conferencing bridges and media servers, announced today that NorthAmerican Teleconference has recently purchased another VSR1000 media server to expand the capacity of their integrated communications platform.
"When it came time to choose a platform for our business communications offering we knew we needed a telephony product that we could build applications for, rather than a dedicated conference system," said Paul Smith, vice president of marketing for NorthAmerican Teleconference. "ThinkEngine stepped up and worked closely with us to build a communications protocol that would allow our systems to integrate seamlessly with the VSR1000."
"We wanted to design a business communications platform that could deliver high value services that span TDM and VoIP telephony, easily integrate with enterprise applications, and reduce costs," continued Smith. "To accomplish this, we needed an extraordinary telecom system. Only the VSR1000 offered the combination of complete software control, seamless TDM/VoIP integration and a lower price per port than other less capable platforms."
"NorthAmerican Teleconference provides excellent collaboration products to their business customers," said Mike Wixon, vice president of product management at ThinkEngine Networks. "Our VSR1000 media server is an open platform for the development of voice services applications. Our strategy of providing an environment that is ambivalent regarding the choice between TDM and IP saves our customers money in both the short term and the long term. We also recognize that every customer has unique environmental, network, or application requirements and we work very hard to customize our products when necessary to make their fit as seamless as possible."
