Microsoft unified messaging users offered alert solution

Users of Microsoft's unified messaging platform are being offered a voicemail alert system from a third-party developer.

Interactive Intelligence has released Interaction Message Indicator, which monitors Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging mailboxes, and alerts users to new voicemail messages via a light on their desktop phones.

Joseph Staples, senior vice-president of worldwide marketing for Interactive Intelligence, said, "This move underlines our commitment to offer Microsoft customers critical functionality backed by more than a decade of experience developing applications for the Microsoft platform."

Interactive Intelligence plans additional complementary applications for Exchange Server 2007 UM users, such as personal notification features, said Staples.

Interaction Message Indicator can work with existing third-party phone systems, including the Interactive Intelligence IP PBX. The application offers a web-based interface designed for easy set-up, administration, monitoring and reporting.
