Antepo Releases OPN System Rivoli, The New Dial Tone(TM)
Rivoli Ties Together Presence Awareness, Instant Messaging, and VoIP
NEW YORK, Sept. 12 // -- Antepo, Inc. (http://www.antepo.com/), a leader in availability-based communication, today announced the release of Rivoli, the latest version of its award-winning OPN System platform. Rivoli is The New Dial Tone(TM) for business communications, enabling users to instantly verify if employees, customers, or partners are online and available, prior to actually initiating contact. By tying together Presence awareness, Instant Messaging (IM), and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) through standards-based SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), Rivoli fosters more efficient corporate collaboration -- while meeting critical enterprise requirements for integration, control, security, compliance, and scalability.
"Rivoli saves businesses precious time and costs by allowing workers to reach colleagues on their first try -- it eliminates phone tag, streamlines email exchanges, and reduces unnecessary meetings and travel," said Maxime Seguineau, Chairman and CEO of Antepo. "It is the safest, most reliable, and cost-effective platform choice for businesses looking to harness the power of Presence awareness, Instant Messaging, and VoIP."
Rivoli Increases Enterprises' Productivity
Presence Awareness
Rivoli has the ability to indicate whether colleagues are available to communicate, and which devices they are using prior to initiating contact. It seamlessly integrates Presence awareness with mainstream corporate directories and popular desktop productivity tools such as Microsoft Office, allowing users to quickly find colleagues and synchronize their availability for conversations and meetings.
Real-time Collaboration
Rivoli facilitates real-time decision-making and information exchange through its native support for Microsoft Windows Messenger and Office Communicator clients. It achieves tight coupling with the Microsoft Office suite and SharePoint Services, delivering advanced collaboration features from directly within Microsoft Office programs such as Outlook, Excel, and Word. Benefits include contextual Presence awareness, Instant Messaging, PC-based voice and video calling, whiteboarding, and application sharing.
Federation
Rivoli offers numerous federation and interoperability options with both consumer and enterprise Instant Messaging networks such as AOL, Google Talk, Microsoft Live Communication Server, IBM Lotus Instant Messaging, and Jabber. Its rich external connectivity features allow employees to interact with merged business units or subsidiaries, collaborate with business partners, and serve customers just as easily as co-workers.
Rivoli Protects Corporate IM Networks
Security
Rivoli delivers unquestioned security and protects users' corporate content. Unlike open source and consumer Instant Messaging networks that typically lack the encryption and permission safeguards to ensure that intellectual capital stays protected, Rivoli uses a certificate and trust- based architecture to authorize usage and ensure the integrity of conversations.
Compliance
Rivoli is compliant with all state and federal government, books and record, and customer data security and privacy regulations. All Instant Messaging and forum communications are logged and archived according to government guidelines. Conversations can then be retrieved, analyzed, and marked as reviewed by legal officers through a built-in Compliance Manager, protecting customers from legal woes.
Control
Rivoli offers access control and restriction rules for Presence sharing, Instant Messaging traffic, and other collaboration features. Its built-in policy engine leverages widely used corporate authentication and directory systems, enabling administrators to enforce usage policies, unify namespace across distributed directory forests, and restrict the flow of traffic between groups and departments worldwide.
With significant performance improvements, Rivoli leads the market in scalability, reliability, and processing efficiency -- offering unseen levels of usage concurrency and message throughput that support even the largest user communities. IT administrators will also benefit from new robust reporting and live monitoring features, which foster better overall system health and accountability.
Pricing
Pricing for OPN System Rivoli starts at $18 per seat with volume discounts available, and no additional per-server license fees. There is no additional cost for built-in, federated connectivity to AOL Instant Messaging Network, Google(TM)Talk, and other IM systems.
