Today, the company officially announces a new set of Allworx(R) 10x features that will give business owners additional flexibility to expand the unit and integrate with existing networks or phone services. The new features for this 4.5 release include support for: * Direct Inward Dialing (DID) * Automatic dialing of preprogrammed digits for Centrex type services * Enhanced dialing plans to manage various services or dialing requirements * Expansion of Central Office (CO) lines from the standard nine (9) up to thirty-three (33) "These new features utilize the capabilities of today's SMB network services and provides simple, cost-effective expansion options for the small business as they grow. This approach protects the customer's existing investment while giving them seamless growth and compatibility paths", explains George Daddis, Jr., President and CEO. "Our goal is to become the leading provider in convergence systems for the SMB marketplace. We will accomplish this by demonstrating our ability to respond quickly to customer needs and consistently improving our value proposition." According to National Federation of Independent Business, 38% of small businesses are increasing their spend on capital (e.g. phones, PC networks) with greater emphasis on solutions generating profits at the expense of solutions that protect profits. With over 7.0 million small businesses in the U.S. and growing, CRN magazine predicts these businesses will spend a total of $283B in 2004 on capital. "Also, the Allworx 10x is already equipped to support Voice Over the Internet (VoIP). Implementing VoIP will dramatically reduce a company's long distance calling charges. The Allworx 10x could not be better positioned to meet the VoIP needs of the SMB marketplace and help improve their bottom line," states George.
