Cisco will use Priority's ORYX platform for its sales force to provide immediate response to customers and prospects. Cisco plans to roll out ORYX to 1,000 members of its sales and technical service staff during Q1, 1997. Priority's ORYX platform offers users a way to manage mission-critical voice and fax communications. Through a single existing telephone number, ORYX links a user's office telephone, cellular telephone, pager and facsimile. ORYX offers one number, voice dialing, pre-paid/calling card, international calling, integrated messaging access and additional value-added applications to support today's virtual office workers. "Having Cisco adopt ORYX as a solution for its sales groups is a great example of the challenges companies face in a virtual office environment," said Andrew Ory, Priority's founder and president. "With ORYX, Cisco customers can now dial a single number to reach the company's sales professionals, whenever, wherever, they wish." Through a single number, ORYX dials the Cisco sales force's office telephone, cellular telephone, pager or other designated devices simultaneously. This allows Cisco's sales force to receive calls in the shortest amount of time and to take calls on the most appropriate device -- office phone, cellular or even pay phone. Cisco's sales force plans to use ORYX to immediately return calls, access new messages, re-direct faxes, speak with an assistant, conference with colleagues and basically conduct all of their business as if they were using their office telephone.
