back to news main Callware Technologies Announces General Availability of Callegra .UC Unified Communications 1.1; Solution Release Provides XML based Client Connectivity, Advanced Management and Developer Options. SANDY, Utah, April 28, 2003 - Callware Technologies Inc. announced today the release of Callegra .UC Unified Communications System, version 1.1. The release offers advanced XML-based integration and connectivity for Callegra Client users, and advanced Microsoft Management Console (MMC) options for system administration. Additionally, the Callegra .UC XML Software Development Kit (SDK) version 1.1 provides an open API for system integrators, solution providers and other business communication developers desiring unified communications interoperability with other applications. “This release targets the features and functions that are most requested and utilized in modern business communication systems,” said Reino Kerttula, President and CEO of Callware Technologies. “Callware has over a decade of experience in designing and delivering messaging feature sets for business. With the robust and scalable .UC architecture, Callegra truly offers a complete messaging system capable of serving small businesses as well as large multi-site enterprises.” Callegra .UC 1.1 includes enhancements to the XML-based telephone and multi-media controls used within CallegraINBOX for Microsoft Outlook and CallegraWEB (browser based access). CallegraFAX has been enhanced with flexible personalized cover sheets and with the ability to transmit faxes in three different ways using CallegraFAX’s visual interface. Faxes can be sent to a fax machine, to another Callegra mailbox or to any email address. Fax addressing is also easily accomplished through an enhanced integration to Microsoft Outlook’s Address Books. For optimal performance and maximum flexibility, Callegra system administrators can enable power users with the ability to self-administer a wide variety of features and functions on their mailbox. Administration of Callegra .UC 1.1 is simplified through the use of the MMC interface. By offering a secure administration interface, system administrators can manage local and distant sites directly from their desktops. New voice and fax broadcasting capabilities make it easy for automatic distribution of both critical (immediate) and regularly scheduled messages. Additionally, Callware’s earlier unified messaging product releases can be easily upgraded to the new Callegra .UC System. System migration software, included with the Callegra .UC software, is also available for download on the Callware Extranet. The Callegra .UC system migration software preserves system and user information including names, greetings, and box configuration data, which is then automatically populated on new systems. CT Labs, the CTI industry’s premier testing service, has designated Callegra .UC as “CT LABS Tested”, referring to the system’s robustness and scalability. Callegra .UC is capable of supporting hundreds of telephony ports in multi-server configurations and up to 1,000,000 system users. Further, in recognition of Callware’s innovation, Callegra .UC received TMC Magazine’s INTERNET TELEPHONY “Product of the Year” award. The Callegra .UC XML SDK provides an open API that offers telephony and fax capabilities to solution providers and other business developers. As one of the first recipients of Microsoft’s .NET Connected certification, Callegra .UC’s XML SDK facilitates the incorporation of telephony and fax functions into a wide range of client and server applications. Systems integrators and solution providers building applications in Microsoft’s Visual Studio .NET, as well as developers using Java or other XML capable environments, can quickly and easily leverage the groundbreaking work available through the open API in the Callegra .UC SDK. Now incorporating message management or notification into handhelds for deskless workers, integrating fax with call center agent applications or complete interoperability with CRM applications are accomplished much more easily.
