AT&T delivers multimedia messaging system, PC console attendant

October 3, 1995 -- GENEVA -- Keeping its promise to bring to the world the
advanced telecommunications technology sought by more U.S. businesses than
any other communications technology, AT&T announces the global
availability of two products:

  Intuity AUDIX multimedia messaging system.
  DEFINITY PC Console attendant with Windows compatibility.

The Intuity AUDIX multimedia messaging system is a family of products
providing an extremely high quality voice and fax messaging system on
layered software and hardware-based architecture, using industry standard
components.

This allows a person to attach a voice message to a fax message, and to
call in for messages and hear not only about voice messages, but also
about fax messages. For privacy and security as well as convenience,
people can direct, via the phone, that the fax messages be printed out to
any fax machine, for instance at home, at an office they are visiting, at
a hotel, or at their own desktop printer. No separate server or fax boards
are required for these capabilities.

The Intuity AUDIX system contains nine co-existent languages, making it
more comfortable for multi-cultural employees, multi-national partners and
international customers to leave messages and get information. The system,
which saves money and time, is for companies having from ten to 500,000
users. It has the capacity to add other multimedia features as they are
developed in the near future.

The DEFINITY PC Console attendant incorporates Windows popular software,
and enables even the largest businesses to give callers faster and better
service. With this product, an attendant sees much more information than
traditional consoles provided and can sort that information on a computer
screen in instant response to a caller's request. It gives attendants
immediate access to employee information such as extension and department,
pager number, cellular phone number, date of an employee's scheduled
return from vacation, or the person in charge in the interim. Operators
can log into one of the four languages provided with the system, or to
other languages which are easily added.

Available around the globe beginning January, 1996, the Definity PC
Consoles, using advanced software and hardware, will provide operators
with information on six different in-coming calls simultaneously.
Traditional systems, based on hardware alone, display information on only
one in-coming call.

Production processes for this and all of AT&T's business communications
products meet the stringent requirements of ISO 9000 certification, a
globally recognized standard of quality.
