DIALOGIC TEAMS WITH COMPAQ & HALL-MARK TO DELIVER COMPUTER TELEPHONY SERVERS.

Hall-Mark will integrate Dialogic CT Media server software and telephony hardware with Compaq ProLiant servers and distribute the CT servers with application software to resellers. This allows resellers and ISVs to avoid having to perform the time-consuming task of integrating systems. Compaq, Dialogic and Hall-Mark are in the process of selecting CT Media-based applications for this channel, and Hall-Mark is distributing CT Media Starter Kits on ProLiant servers to help developers get started creating telephony-enabled applications.

"The convergence of voice and data presents a huge opportunity for resellers," says Bob Visintainer, director, Channel Sales, Dialogic. "Dialogic, Compaq and Hall-Mark are paving the way for data resellers to cross over into the growing voice and data convergence market by offering a variety of integrated solutions using the many modular software products being offered by companies in the CT Media Value Network."

Compaq and Hall-Mark are members of the CT Media Value Network, a collaborative community of companies that provide application software, technology resources, platforms, peripherals, services, and channel delivery for CT servers based on Dialogic CT Media server software. The Value Network joins companies like Compaq and Hall-Mark together to develop, market, and distribute interoperable products for the converged communications network.

Dialogic is expanding its training and technical support programs to back this initiative to provide CT servers to the data reseller channel. Dialogic's Customer Engineering and CT Consulting Services Groups are offering extensive services for application developers and resellers entering the CT server market segment. These services will help minimize time to market for developers and provide channel-appropriate assistance to resellers during the sales and installation processes.
