CASCADE TECHNOLOGIES ENHANCES VOICE TOOLS TO SUPPORT SQL SERVER

(August 3, 1994; New York, NY) Cascade Technologies, Inc. announced today
that it has enhanced Cascade Voice Tools, its IVR application generator,
to provide direct support for SQL Server for Windows NT. SQL Server is a
high-end database management system (DBMS) developed by Microsoft
Corporation. This additional database support will facilitate the
integration between Voice Tools and any third party software applications
that make use of the Microsoft DBMS.

As a "voice server", Voice Tools responds to requests made by callers who
are using a touchtone phone to receive database information or initiate a
transaction. Voice Tools uses industry-standard SQL syntax to interact
with SQL databases. Using a variety of built in capabilities, Voice Tools
may query individual or multiple databases, perform ad-hoc calculations,
generate transaction data and transmit faxes in order to respond to a
caller request "Our SQL Server connectivity support continues our
aggressive focus on client/server-based systems," noted Frank Joicy,
Executive Vice President and Chief Technical Officer. "By making the voice
response system a true Windows NT client (an OS/2 client, by the way),
callers are assured of interacting with the most current instance of their
data. This has become a critical requirement for real-time applications
that are operating in a client/server environment."

Cascade Voice Tools is a high-level application generator for voice
processing applications. The system includes a development module for
scripting and recording as well as a runtime system that operates under
OS/2. Voice Tools uses a number of OS/2 capabilities to manage the call
processing functions including true multitasking, large memory space and a
wide range of connectivity options for database access.

Founded in 1985, Cascade Technologies is a leading provider of interactive
voice response software. Cascade is a member of Dialogic's Toolkit
Development Program and their Open Solutions Program. The company is also
a supporter of Dialogic's open architecture initiative - Signal Computing
System Architecture (SCSA). For more information about Cascade Voice
