AmVia to `show channel the money`

Johannesburg, 20 Apr 2001

Converged Messaging Value-Added Distributor, AmVia - Voicematix has launched Messagemate, an all-in-one digital call management system developed specifically for small and medium business.

AmVia`s Chief Growth Officer, Robyn Grobbelaar says, "Our move to start distributing Messagemate was to provide our business partners with new, high-volume, revenue streams within the highly lucrative SME space."

Connectable with most PABXs (key telephone systems), Messagemate provides all call management requirements and features such as Voicemail, a `Virtual Receptionist`, Automatic Call Diversion and customisable music/information on-hold all in one digital unit.

AmVia states that there is no competitor within the market that provides a comparable solution at Messagemate`s price point. A number of piecemeal competitors exist yet their products are vastly limited in features and generally more expensive. Messagemate leads with respect to other competitors within the telecommunications technology market with a multi-faceted product offering the SME a state of the art system that provides all the features of a "big business" call management system at a fraction of the cost.

The Messagemate range stores the operative system in a section of the removable flash memory card thereby reducing the likelihood of damage, as there are no moving parts. As operational design changes or enhancements become available, the operative system can be easily upgraded by programming a new flash memory card and swapping it with the existing flash memory card.

Messagemate is manufactured in 8, 4, 2 or 1 Port capacities facilitating up to 50 voice mail boxes with Up to 4 extensions in each mailbox. The system also features call routing, external notification, remote access, time and date stamping, transference, archiving, auto attendant, info-on-hold and after hours answering. The system is intuitive and easy to use. With its `plug & play` properties, installation, set-up and configuration happens in under 2-hours.

AmVia`s Mission Controller, Kevin Hurwitz concludes, "By applying Messagemate to your business` telephone system, the "abandonment" and "cut-off" factors are removed. Our latest surveys indicate that between 25 & 30% of calls to small/medium sized companies are either abandoned or lost. In most cases, this directly translates to lost business opportunities. With its voicemail and auto-attendant features, Messagemate eliminates abandoned & lost calls. For small and medium sized businesses who continually experience fierce competition, this directly corresponds to saving business that would have otherwise gone elsewhere."
