PathFinder IS, the newest member of the PathFinder advanced voice mail product suite, is a Windows-based option that offers small business an affordable, in-cabinet solution that extends voice processing functionality beyond basic voice mail with more robust, productivity-enhancing messaging applications such as unified messaging. "Vodavi keeps a pulse on what products and solutions customers need access to for increased efficiency and cost containment within their business environment," said Chet Lytle, president of Communications Diversified Inc., a Vodavi Authorized Gold Dealer. "The PathFinder IS is an example of how Vodavi delivers cost-effective, advanced technology to small and medium-sized business customers. PathFinder IS provides our customers advanced voice messaging, unified messaging and fax to the desktop applications on their converged XTS-IP platform at a surprising low cost. Vodavi's high-value, low-cost solutions continue to be unmatched in the industry." The PathFinder IS complements the PathFinder product mix by providing an intermediate voice mail solution between Vodavi's TalkPath and the Digital PathFinder. The PathFinder IS's card module mounts directly into the XTS-IP system cabinet to deliver a complete messaging system that allows workgroups to share voice, fax and e-mail messaging using desktop computers and standard e-mail applications. Equipped with 12 voice mail ports, auto attendant, unified messaging capability, unlimited mailboxes and most of the feature functionality of the Digital PathFinder, businesses can affordably invest in advanced messaging without the higher expense of external equipment and maintenance costs associated with a high-end server-based solution. Businesses with multi-site applications can maximize their investment in PathFinder IS capabilities by networking multiple sites together using a single PathFinder IS, thereby eliminating the need to purchase multiple messaging systems at each location. PathFinder IS comes with standard features such as voice messaging, 200+ hours of message storage, cell phone/pager notification, auto attendant, etc., and can connect to the LAN to offer advanced communications functionality such as OneLook Unified Messaging, Desktop Call Control and Desktop Mailbox Editing.
