NORWALK, CT, January 10, 2003 - Callware Technologies announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC™)’s INTERNET TELEPHONY® magazine, named Callegra .UC as a Product of the Year winner for 2002.

Callegra .UC offers a powerful voice messaging and automated attendant solution that easily expands to include additional unified messaging advantages such as, integrated speech recognition, fax services, browser based voice and fax messaging and email integration including text-to-speech. Leveraging Microsoft’s .NET, SQL and Windows 2000 technologies, Callegra .UC was designed with an XML based N-tier, object-oriented, distributed architecture allowing it to scale from a full-featured 4 port voice mail system up to a very large network of unified communication installations capable of serving one million users. Client applications are supported on all the current desktop versions of Microsoft Windows with support for Microsoft Outlook, Novell GroupWise, Lotus Notes and Internet Explorer browser based access. Intuitive graphical interfaces ensure fast and easy system set-up and administration.

Callware Technologies’ Callegra .UC is a complete unified communication & messaging (UCM) solution and enterprise application integration development platform. The Callegra .UC XML Web Services SDK allows system integrators and other developers to rapidly add advanced voice, phone and fax functionality to other enterprise applications by using XML Web Services or COM enabled development environments to access client functions from the Callegra .UC servers. Callegra .UC-enabled companies confidently look toward the future knowing they have invested in a communications platform that is continually updated with all the growth potential their company could ever need.

“Callware is honored to receive the recognition of TMC’s INTERNET TELEPHONY® with the Product of the Year Award for 2002,” said Reino Kerttula, President and CEO of Callware Technologies. “Our product development focus with Callegra .UC was to offer outstanding unified communications and messaging value across all business environments.”
