HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Jun 22, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) —
ADTRAN, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN, news, filings), a leading provider of converged access and unified business solutions, announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC), has named ADTRAN’s NetVanta(R) Unified Communications Appointment Reminder as a recipient of the 2011 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award.
The NetVanta Unified Communications Appointment Reminder is an automated notification application designed to deliver appointment information by phone or email. Built on the NetVanta Business Application Server, the appointment reminder automatically notifies clients or healthcare patients of scheduled appointments, and provides a number of options including appointment confirmation or rescheduling. The application can also provide clients or patients with special instructions or additional information pertaining to their appointments. With simple integration into database systems, the appointment reminder frees up office resources that would otherwise be spending a majority of their day performing outbound phone calls.
“As businesses continue to feel the effects of the economic downturn, many are searching for ways to streamline operations and do more without additional headcount. The NetVanta Business Application Server provides flexibility to optimize business activities to reduce costs,” said Bob Hinkle, vice president of product management, ADTRAN Enterprise Networks Division. “ADTRAN’s Appointment Reminder is just one way businesses can use NetVanta Unified Communications to streamline office tasks, increase productivity and, in turn, increase profitability.”
“ADTRAN has proven it is committed to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace. Unified Communications is pleased to grant a 2011 Product of the Year Award for the NetVanta Unified Communications Appointment Reminder,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “We’re proud to honor ADTRAN’s hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from ADTRAN in the future.”
