O-0-4 Overview of VPS Functions
The Voice Processing System (VPS) is inexpensive, conve-
nient and easy to use. It allows recorded messages to be
sent, received and retrieved at any time from any touch-
tone telephone anywhere in the world. Step-by-step voice
prompts assist first time users. In no time at all they will
be zipping through messages without a second thought.
The VPS provides the following benefits:
— It replaces tedious, unclear or otherwise inadequate
memos which could easily be understood with clear,
concise messages recorded in your own voice.
— It can be delivered 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
to any touch tone telephone in the world.
— It does not require that both parties be on the line at the
same time in order to communicate.
As a business application, the VPS can be used to encour-
age short, concise messages free of unnecessary small talk.
It thus becomes an efficient time management tool. A ring-
ing telephone can often interrupt your train of thought.
Thanks to the VPS, this is no longer a problem. You can
choose the times which are most convenient for you to
send and receive messages, and proceed with the work at
hand without interruption. You can send messages the mo-
ment they are ready. The only faster way would be to call
directly.
The VPS may appear complicated at first, but its basic
operations are really very simple. They are the following:
• Receiving messages
• Mailbox management
• Sending messages
