Centrepoint Technologies Enhances TalkSwitch Telephone System - Free Software Upgrade Adds New Features With Compelling Small Business Benefits OTTAWA, CANADA--Centrepoint Technologies, manufacturer of the innovative TalkSwitch telephone system, today announced general availability of Software Version 2.39. Existing TalkSwitch customers can upgrade to the new version for no extra charge. This release enhances the system's ability to integrate teleworkers and mobile warriors and adds a Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) capability. Release 2.39 further enhances the ability of small businesses to provide their teleworkers and mobile employees with the same communications benefits as in the office. Remote phone users, whether wired or wireless, gain improved call handling capability including the ability to transfer calls to another extension or back to the office. TalkSwitch's Uniform Call Distribution capability, allows small offices to better manage incoming call volume, while maintaining customer service levels. Incoming calls are automatically distributed and queued to employees for answering on a priority basis. Several refinements have been made to the TalkSwitch voice mail system to improve its ease of use. "Right from the outset, we realized a telephone system has to enhance communications in all workzones -the office, teleworking or mobile" said Jan Scheeren, President of Centrepoint Technologies. "The latest software version provides a solution for higher call volume and mobile environments. It strengthens TalkSwitch's ability to keep people connected, productive and successful". "Before purchasing our TalkSwitch system, we were challenged to stay connected when travelling or working offsite," said Jim Caruso, CEO of MediaFirst. "When we investigated new telephone systems, we looked for one which would enable us access to the same features on-the road or in remote offices as we have when working from the main office. The TalkSwitch transfers calls seamlessly from the main office to our cell phones. We can deal with the customer immediately or transfer the call to the right person, extension or voice mail. TalkSwitch lets MediaFirst appear more professional and more responsive to clients and co-workers."
