Adomo Announces General Availability of Adomo 6.0 for Mobile Unified Communications
Enterprise Class Solution for IP Voice Messaging Migration
Orlando, FL, VoiceCon — March 5, 2007 — At VoiceCon Spring 2007 today, Adomo Inc., a leading provider of advanced messaging solutions for the enterprise, announced the general availability of Adomo 6.0. Adomo 6.0, the newest generation of the company’s award winning advanced messaging solution, delivers a unique approach for enterprises — one that provides users with the benefits of unified communications, and IT departments with an easy migration approach for integrating with their existing infrastructure
"The migration to IP telephony and Unified Communications is driving significant changes in the way enterprise infrastructure deployment decisions are being made," said Krithi Rao, industry analyst with Frost & Sullivan. "The most important requirements in the evolution of any successful communications technology strategy are flexibility, ease of migration, and business impact. Features such as those available in Adomo 6.0 enable enterprise users, particularly mobile employees, to use voice messaging as a productivity enhancing application and increase their overall communications effectiveness."
Mobility is driving a major market disruption in enterprise communications, and users are frustrated by constraints of existing messaging solutions. Adomo 6.0 provides compelling user features along with easy integration with Microsoft Exchange and existing PBXs. New features of Adomo 6.0 include SmartMobility capabilities that make users more productive and effective, as well as architecture and system management enhancements that expedite and facilitate enterprise deployments for IT departments.
"There are two essential ingredients for the success of any new messaging technology. First and foremost, it must provide tangible benefits to users, the ‘Wow’ factor, in ways that are easy to understand so they actually use it. Second, it must be easy to integrate into today’s complex IT environments - multi-site, multi-PBX, and Exchange implementations," said Mathew Frazer, President and CEO of Adomo. "Adomo 6.0 is designed to be both user and IT friendly, a combination that has proven to be very difficult for current industry leaders to deliver."
Specific highlights of Adomo 6.0 include:
Mobility
Mobile workers operate very differently than their deskbound counterparts. Adomo 6.0 delivers core unified communications capabilities and introduces new features designed to make enterprise mobile messaging more effective:
- Smart Locate - An improvement on "Find Me/Follow Me" capabilities enables users to have a single phone number with a "Priority Caller" option to assure important callers are immediately routed instead of delayed by screening and/or sent to voicemail.
- BlackBerry "Play on Phone" - The majority of BlackBerry devices currently in use are not capable of playing a voice message attached to an email. Adomo 6.0’s distinctive solution approach lets users select a menu option on the BlackBerry email client to initiate a telephone call from the Adomo system to the user’s phone to play a message.
- Messaging Management - Users may easily categorize voice messages for easy access once stored or for more precisely communicating when attaching a voice message to an email. Subject line edits clarify and identify message content, and personal notations improve records and references for messages that are stored or forwarded to another person or groups of people.
System Architecture Enhancements
Many unified communications solutions fail because they are difficult to implement and integrate into existing IT infrastructure. The Adomo 6.0 system architecture is designed specifically for easily integrating into complex enterprise environments, offering unmatched flexibility and low total cost of ownership
- PBX Integrations - Support for Cisco Call Manager 5.0 as well as new PBX certifications for specific models from Nortel and Avaya. Includes multiple mailbox configuration support
- Voicemail Networking - VPIM support to enable networking between Adomo and an OctelNet based legacy voicemail network during migration
- Core O/S updated to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0
- G.729 voice compression support for low bandwidth mobile environments
- GUI based development environment for caller applications creation and implementation
- Clustering support for appliances up to 120 ports for enhanced system reliability and availability
- Full support for time zones: provides flexibility to deploy Adomo systems and support users in various time zones as needed.
- 12 digit mixed dial plan support
Enterprise Management
Enterprises require a robust set of management tools and capabilities to maximize system effectiveness. Specific enhancements with Adomo 6.0 include:
- Enhanced security with IPSec support between multiple appliances and between appliances and AEC server
- Increased fault tolerance for message waiting indicators (MWI) and Active Directory when Microsoft Exchange service is interrupted. Improved logic limits impact to minimal number of users
- Automatic update every 2 hours to refresh personal contacts
- Improved reporting including port usage, locked out mailboxes list, login failures with reason/time stamp, un-initialized mailboxes list, Admin audit log, message delivery report (Adomo and VPIM), Outcall logs with outcall reasons (per appliance)
- Remote delegated administration with bounded privileges
- Expanded Microsoft GAL capacities and support
- Improved diagnostics including network and PBX integrations statistics, and overall system information
