Systems Integrator is focused on replacing legacy voice systems with open, standards-based solutions from Envox that improve customer satisfaction, lower cost, and drive new revenue opportunities

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., May 22 / -- Envox Worldwide, a leading global provider of IP-based voice solutions, today announced that it has established a strategic partnership with Carousel Industries, a communication systems integrator and reseller that specializes in the design, implementation, and support of strategic, integrated communication solutions.

"Carousel Industries has an outstanding reputation as a market-leading communications solutions provider, and we are very pleased to have the opportunity to partner with them in this way," said Mark D. Flanagan, president and CEO of Envox Worldwide. "We're working very closely with the entire Carousel team, and have already delivered our best-in-class voice solutions to a number of enterprise customers."

Under the terms of this strategic partnership, Carousel will develop and deploy a wide range of voice solutions based on the entire Envox Worldwide product portfolio. Together, the two companies will work to ensure that enterprise contact centers can optimize their efficiency, and dramatically improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.

The Envox Worldwide portfolio includes:

o Envox Communications Development Platform - an open, standards-based
platform with integrated application development and management
components that significantly reduces the time, cost and complexity of
deploying voice and IP communications solutions. Envox 7 combines
comprehensive support for traditional voice communication with the
industry's most complete support for IP communication, including IP
telephony, video messaging, SMS, and email.

o Envox VoiceXML Studio - a graphical development environment that
accelerates the creation of VoiceXML-based voice solutions by 50
percent or more.

o Envox CT Connect(TM) - standards-based CTI software that allows
application developers and systems integrators to create voice self
service, contact center and unified communications solutions for IP and
TDM networks at dramatically lower cost by providing out-of-the-box
integration with all major communications systems.

o Envox CT ADE(TM) - a collection of utilities that enables developers
to create and deploy CT applications more easily and more quickly than
using traditional APIs; it is one of the most widely used interactive
voice response (IVR) development tools in the industry.

o Envox OnDemand(TM) - a high-performance, speech-enabled contact center
voice service for enterprises and service providers that want the
benefits of a hosted voice solution.

"We are excited about the opportunity that we have to build a strong partnership with Envox Worldwide," said Jeff Gardner, CEO of Carousel Industries. "We have been able to generate great momentum with Envox in a short period of time, due, in large part, to their willingness to work hand-in-hand with our account executives to deliver open, standards-based IVR and CTI solutions to our customers. This has been clearly demonstrated with several significant wins that we'll be announcing shortly. Our relationship with Envox represents another important building block in our strategic plan to diversify our product portfolio and be a true technology consultant to our customers."
