based developer and provider of carrier and enterprise enhanced messaging solutions, today announced its official release of two new market offerings: Managed and Hosted Messaging services.

With Managed Messaging, equipment is located at the customer's datacenter (or another customer location) with flexible management and support options provided by Voice Mobility and its certified partners. Customers have the option of owning or leasing the UCN 250 equipment and paying monthly for the level of management and services they desire.

Hosted Messaging is a full messaging system located at Voice Mobility's or its partner's datacenter. The equipment is secured in a certified datacenter with redundancy and disaster recovery options available. Hosted Messaging allows customers to purchase, on a monthly basis, voicemail replacement and unified communication solutions as needed. Customers have the flexibility of determining the level of management and services they want to maintain in-house and those they prefer managed by Voice Mobility's trained professionals.

Analyst predictions show a growing need for managed and hosted messaging solutions. Driven by lower cost of ownership and reduction of risk, enterprises are looking to implement these solutions when provided by certified professionals.

Voice Mobility's Managed or Hosted Messaging solutions provide the following benefits:

- Low total cost of ownership
- High availability and disaster recovery options
- 24/7 support and management
- Otherwise costly hardware and software upgrades are included in the solution
- The centralized datacenter and customer center can be fully redundant
- Flexible management and support options
- Full turn-key solutions

"We are now receiving tremendous interest from large Enterprise clients interested in Managed and Hosted offers. With our extensive Enterprise and Service Provider feature set, Enterprises can migrate in a very flexible manner to a system that behaves like their Legacy Octel systems. Our Linux environment offers a highly secure and stable messaging platform," said Mike Seeley, Global Sales Director, Voice Mobility.
