Applied Voice & Speech Technologies (AVST) and Mirapoint announced they've formed a strategic partnership to deliver a unified messaging solution that addresses the needs of both the enterprise and education sectors.

According to the companies, the partnership will focus on the integration of AVST's CallXpress Unified Communications platform and Mirapoint's Message Server. The combination will provide a scalable, secure unified messaging solution that takes advantage of an organization's existing infrastructure, helping to reduce costs associated with the replacement of legacy systems.

"We have taken great care to develop a product line that is optimized for the education sector and we're pleased to partner with Mirapoint," said Hardy Myers, AVST's president and CEO, in a prepared statement. "This partnership is a direct response to an expressed need by our mutual customers for unified messaging solutions that interoperate seamlessly and leverage an existing communications infrastructure.  Mirapoint shares our vision for collaboration, efficiency and security in enterprise communications."

AVST boasts more than 40,000 deployments worldwide, while Mirapoint's Message Server has more than 120 million mailbox deployments to its credit.
