Genesys Uses Convedia IP Media Servers

VANCOUVER -- Convedia® Corporation, the leading provider of IP media processing platforms, today announced that Genesys Conferencing, a global leader in multimedia conferencing services, has selected and deployed Convedia’s CMS-6000 Media Server in its flagship Genesys Meeting Center product offering. Genesys Meeting Center offers Web, voice and desktop video conferencing in one integrated service that is available on demand. Simple point-and-click commands allow moderators to deliver PowerPoint presentations, share and edit any document or application in real time and record meetings for playback later.

Founded in 1986, Genesys serves over 18,000 customers in 21 countries worldwide, including over 200 of the Global 500 companies. Widely acknowledged as a technology innovator and industry leader, Genesys pioneered fully automated conferencing in 1989 and was the first to empower customers with conference management tools via the introduction of its Multiconference Manager software in 1997. Genesys has grown to over 1,000 employees through a series of strategic acquisitions and delivered over 1.3 billion conferencing minutes in 2003.

Jim Huzell, Chief Operating Officer of Genesys Conferencing, noted, “There were a number of considerations internally when we first began working with Convedia two years ago. Could Voice over IP really be capable of meeting our stringent voice-quality requirements? Our experience with Convedia’s media servers has clearly demonstrated that they exceed our expectations. Convedia will work with us in the future to improve service reliability, reduce costs and help Genesys to create an increasingly differentiated service offering. Convedia has become a strategic supplier to Genesys because the company’s products and technology are clearly head-and-shoulders above those of the competition.”
