Melbourne, Australia – 26th April 2004 – “Communication is the heartbeat of your business”.

Speed and efficiency of communication is paramount to the financial effectiveness of your business. That’s why AdvaTel developed PhoneEasy – a powerful desktop application that integrates your business phone, email and PC - based SMS in one solution.

AdvaTel will hold the world release of PhoneEasy at CeBIT, Sydney, 4th to 6th May 2004.

“PhoneEasy is focused on maximising workplace productivity. Incorporating a number of invaluable time-saving tools, it allows you to move seamlessly from one form of communication to another” says Michael Terry, AdvaTel’s managing director.

Retrieving details of your contacts has never been easier. Search the centralised database using just a few keystrokes. Not sure of the spelling or only remember the person’s department and area code? PhoneEasy filters instantaneously as you type. Key in as much – or as little – as you know. It’s that easy. Then, with a simple point-and-click you can contact the person via telephone, SMS or email.

Call Stacker is ideal if you are overwhelmed by the number of calls you need to make. Drag-and-drop contacts into the Call Stack and it will automatically dial the numbers in sequence. If your call goes unanswered PhoneEasy gives you the option of sending an SMS or email, direct from your PC screen.

Call Scheduler… never forget to make that important call again. Simply drag-and-drop a contact into the Call Scheduler and PhoneEasy’s ‘pop-up’ window will remind you when the call is due and your reason for calling.

Conference Calls? Easy! Eliminate the need to recall complex telephone keypad sequences. With the drag-and-drop interface you can initiate a conference call, or extend an existing conversation to incorporate other parties, effortlessly.

The Activity Log stores a record of calls received, made and missed – as well as SMS messages sent. Save time by double-clicking on any number to dial, or queue missed call numbers in the Call Stack to return the calls quickly and easily.

PhoneEasy lets you manage your incoming and outgoing calls with just a click of your mouse. It tells you who is calling and informs you about the person you are calling. It will even display any appointment details in the Outlook calendar of people within your organisation, so you can determine the best method of communication. They say time is money - and we agree. Every time you use PhoneEasy you save time for more important things. And that means a better bottom line for your business.
