Our platform allows us to integrate AVS' core competencies with our own, in order to provide our clients with systems that meet all of their unified communication needs."

It's a revolutionary technology that provides us with the flexibility to satisfy the ever growing demands of our customers," said Bob Leggio, President of AVS. "As audio visual and information technologies continue to merge, the combined companies will be in a superior position to lead the market with innovative solutions."
In addition to expanding Telanetix ability to offer customized solutions these acquisitions represent an opportunity to strengthen the sales channel. The newly consolidated companies will offer the standard Telanetix Digital Presence product line, the Telanetix Executive line and custom Telanetix Digital Presence environments. ULF will continue to provide field labor, installation, integration, maintenance and services.
