Atlanta, GA and Fremont, CA -
March 9, 2005 - Verso Technologies, Inc., an integrated
communications solutions company, today announced
it has selected BayPackets, Inc., a provider of enhanced
voice and data solutions for wireless, wireline and
broadband operators, as the provider of IP-based voicemail
and unified communications solutions for its service
provider customers. BayPackets' Agility Voicemail
and Unified Communications applications are now integrated
with Verso's line of softswitch products, and available
to Verso customers interested in launching low-cost,
revenue-generating IP-based voice messaging services
quickly, easily and with minimal upfront capital investment.
"During the vendor selection process, BayPackets
demonstrated its ability to support a variety of end
points in a multi-switch configuration, a key requirement
for Verso's existing customer base," said Steve
Langion, Sr. VP of Engineering at Verso Technologies.
"In addition, the robustness, scalability and
openness of BayPackets' service delivery platform
are critical for Verso's customers around the globe.
We needed a product that seamlessly integrates with
our Class 5 Call Manager, offering an economically
viable solution for tier one as well as tier three
carriers. BayPackets' platform, coupled with the carrier-grade
Clarent Class 5 Call Manager, gives us the flexibility
to provide a total next generation solution, including

will allow Verso's customers to differentiate their
service offerings from the competition, increase revenues
and margins, and reduce subscriber churn."
