Aculab Uses CYGCOM's Speed to Market and eSupport Program

MILTON KEYNES, U.K. - Aculab entered an agreement with CYGCOM Integrated Technologies.  This agreement enables CYGCOM, through its "Speed to Market" program to integrate, test, distribute, support and co-market Aculab's Prosody PCI card and Telephony Interface Manager (TIM), for use with the Microsoft Speech Server (MSS) 2004 R2, to their extensive VAR and ISV distribution channels. 
 
Aculab's TIM allows MSS 2004 R2 based applications to be powered by Aculab's Prosody media processing resource cards and benefit from Aculab's portfolio of protocols for worldwide digital network access. Protocols include T1 and E1 interface connections, allowing prospects to be targeted in North America, Europe and Asia. The integration of the Aculab TIM with the MSS 2004 R2 specification means that all the low-level call control and resource provisioning is managed by the TIM.
 
CYGCOM's 'Speed to Market' program delivers a go-to-market model for ISVs, OEMs and communication resellers through programmatic systems integration of Intel Server platforms, field installation and post installation support. Under this agreement, CYGCOM will develop integration for its "SpeechWatch™" product to incorporate the Aculab cards and TIM. CYGCOM's "SpeechWatch™" console also provides monitoring, alarming and e-notification for the telephony elements in a MSS 2004 R2 environment.
