VoysConnect was developed to provide a combined voicemail/ telephone system for small businesses. VoysConnect is not a key system, but rather a combination voice mail
and telephone system supporting 4 telephone lines and 8 industry standard (2500 type) telephones.
The customer profile for VoysConnect is a very small business requiring 4‑8 phones; probably already using 1 or 2 line analog telephones. Such businesses likely have an answering machine, answering service or CO based voice mail, none of which offer the same flexibility as customer owned voice mail, in particular an auto attendant function. Additionally, CO based voice mail or an answering service is an ongoing expense. An underlying assumption behind VoysConnect is that for many small businesses, voice processing can be a more useful business tool than the phone system itself. However, they must first have a phone system that supports voice mail. The low CPE voice mail penetration rate in businesses with 1-10 employees, has been due in large part to the cost of first purchasing a phone system and then adding voice mail. The objective of VoysConnect is to provide the basic must have features of a business phone system, while at the same time providing voice mail/auto attendant features.
