FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BroadSoft Launches Enhanced Desktop Telephony Toolbar
With Advanced Call Control Features
Desktop Toolbar Enables BroadWorks Users to Access
Advanced Calling Features within Microsoft Outlook and Internet
Explorer
Gaithersburg, MD and San Jose, CA, Spring VON, March 14, 2006
- BroadSoft, Inc., the leading provider of VoIP application
software, today announced enhanced capabilities to its BroadWorks
Assistant-Enterprise Toolbar, a carrier-class desktop communications
product for everyday users of Microsoft® Outlook® and Internet
Explorer®. The new BroadWorks® Assistant-Enterprise 13.0
allows users to easily access advanced call control features within
the Microsoft mail and browser programs, affording service providers
additional tools to offer their customers.
A desktop telephony toolbar that is integrated with the BroadWorks®
VoIP platform, BroadWorks Assistant-Enterprise is suitable for corporate
as well as small office/home office (SOHO) users. The new advanced
call control capabilities give the BroadWorks user a pop-up notification
when a call comes in, and enables the user to answer the call, place
it on hold, send it to voice mail, or transfer it to another party,
without leaving the Microsoft application. Additional highlights
include click-to-dial capability from the Outlook contact directory
and Internet Explorer Web pages, three-way conferencing and caller
identification.
BroadSoft acquired the integrated desktop toolbar product as part
of its acquisition of CarbonTwelve, a software and multimedia applications
developer based in Sydney Australia, in September 2005. BroadSoft
integrated the acquired company's client software applications into
the company's BroadWorks VoIP client applications product line and
has continued to enhance product functionality and expand its customer
base.
"The BroadWorks Assistant-Enterprise 13.0 toolbar represents
another milestone in our continuing effort to make advanced call
features easier to use, to drive adoption of service providers'
enhanced VoIP service offerings," said Scott Wharton, vice
president of marketing for BroadSoft. "BroadSoft Assistant-Enterprise
13.0 is a valuable tool that packs a collection of convenient voice
options into a small space and saves users valuable time. By enhancing
our applications with such value-added functionality, BroadSoft
is empowering service providers with a growing range of differentiated
revenue-producing offerings for their customers."
BroadWorks Assistant-Enterprise will be featured in BroadSoft's
booth at the Spring 2006 VON Conference & Expo, Booth 1127,
on March 14-16 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA.
The BroadWorks Assistant-Enterprise toolbar and Deployment Studio
are currently available.
