Voyetra announcing numerous OEM agreements.

YONKERS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 29, 1996--

Company Adding Major Partners to Its Current List of More Than

100 Multimedia Manufacturers

On the heels of a highly successful re-entry into the retail computer software market, Voyetra Technologies is poised to strengthen its position as the world's leading supplier of multimedia music and audio software to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a series of highly significant agreements slated for the coming months.

Companies such as Sony, IBM, Compaq, NEC, and Crystal Semiconductor are on tap to benefit from Voyetra's two decades of multimedia expertise, with complete details expected to be announced over the next six to eight weeks.

"In an industry where many OEMs would much prefer to develop their own software than contract with an outside source, it's an extraordinary testimonial to the quality of our products that the major players continue to seek us out," said Carmine J. Bonanno, president and CEO, Voyetra Technologies. "Our current customers, which number more than 100, consistently cite Voyetra as a model supplier because we can customize products. We're also highly responsive and non-mass production oriented."

"Word of Voyetra's ability to deliver top-quality, on-time, on-budget products has spread like wildfire throughout the OEM community, especially with the advent of the convergence PC," continued Bonanno. "Based on our market forecasting, ongoing development work, and new contracts -- signed and being signed -- we anticipate a surge in our OEM-related activities. We've been increasing resources -- such as engineers, graphic designers, support personnel and office space -- at a rapid pace to capitalize upon these marketing opportunities."

Voyetra offers pre-built software solutions that add a full spectrum of features and controls to hardware products, with an emphasis on ease of use and low cost. Found on millions of PCs worldwide, current OEM products include audio utilities (e.g. AudioStation(R) v.2, VideoStation(R) v.2, AudioView(TM)), music edutainment applications (e.g. Music Write(TM), Jammin' Keys(TM), Recording Station(TM)) and music sequencers (e.g. Digital Orchestrator Plus(TM), MIDI Orchestrator Plus(TM)), as well as other custom programs, hardware drivers and engineering services for numerous clients.

The company's extensive work within the multimedia industry since the early 1980s has led to a unique advantage over competitors -- a hands-on grasp of the critical issues that multimedia manufacturers face in a constantly changing landscape. Calling upon this knowledge, Voyetra regularly guides its clients through the highly competitive, sometimes treacherous marketplace.

Privately held since its founding in 1975, Voyetra continues to use lucrative OEM contracts to fuel its growth. Factors such as consumers spending more leisure time on multimedia-equipped personal computers, the return to core values such as music and the arts, and traditional musicians recognizing the value of computer music titles to write, record and mix compositions point to large-scale expansion for Voyetra.

"When combined with the need for an intuitive convergence PC interface -- on which we're already devoting considerable energy -- our new efforts should provide a significant ROI," noted Fred Romano, COO, Voyetra Technologies. "This confidence is due to our current, tangible marketing results with numerous products and other works-in-progress. Being the entrepreneurs that we are, however, we won't rest on our laurels."

Just as Voyetra anticipated, adapted and prospered through rapid technological change, major paradigm shifts and explosive computer industry growth from the mid-1970s to the present, it will continue to do so well into the next century. By developing software to simplify and unify the wide-scale convergence of audio, video, telephony and communications; furthering the art of computer music and sound technology; and offering clients the products and services they will need to remain competitive, Voyetra will maintain its leadership position as the Multimedia Sound Specialists(TM) long into the future.
