"We believe this distinguished positioning by Gartner is a testament to the continued momentum VoiceGenie enjoys in the IVR Systems and Enterprise Voice Portals market, the award-winning performance and innovation of our products like VoiceGenie 7.0, and the strength of our standards-based software platform vision," said Thomas Charlton, VoiceGenie President and CEO. "We are committed to creating value for our customers by leveraging our powerful open standards platform. Many of our customers including CPT International, New York Daily News, Bell Canada, Soleo, AT&T, Pershing LLC a Bank of New York subsidiary, mobilkom austria and Verizon have demonstrated measurable ROI with reduced operating costs, improved customer satisfaction through self-service and increased revenue with new and innovative services launched through the VoiceGenie platform."
