VoiceGate TARGETS LOW-END VOICE MAIL MARKET

VoiceGate Corporation, a leading supplier of PC-based voice mail, audiotex and custom-designed voice response systems has announced the addition of a "LITE Series" version to its acclaimed VIP4000 voice mail product .

VIP4000 voice mail products offer digital integration with most modern business phone systems and are sold and supported globally by an authorized network of independent dealers and distributors.

Available in a 2-port/ 30 mail box and 4-port/ 60 mail box configurations, the new "LITE Series" version is expandable up to 24 ports and 1000 mail boxes and provides direct digital integration with Meridian Norstar - one of the world's most popular and widely used small business phone systems.

Announcing the new product, Paul Perryman, VoiceGate's Vice-President of Business Development confirmed that the company had set its sights squarely on a bigger slice of the potentially lucrative "small office" sector of the voice mail market up till now dominated by Nortel's low cost proprietary "Flashtalk" offering. Noting that VoiceGate was among the first to develop and market a truly "seamless" (no ATA or VMI) digital integration for the Norstar key system, Perryman points out that the new product comes with a proven track record.

"Breaking the Flashtalk price barrier without sacrificing VIP4000 quality and performance is a significant achievement in our product development program," says Perryman, "VoiceGate dealers are now positioned to access an important new sector of their small business market place with a proven system offering superior performance, abundant features and virtually limitless expandability."

Distribution of the LITE Series will take place alongside the company's standard VIP4000 products. Shipments will commence in February 1997.
