User
Recommendations
From a user perspective this is good news. United Messaging will be able
to provide messaging services to your organization regardless of location.
Beyond the benefits of increased data center locations, United Messaging
has good technical talent; physical resources and the necessary venture
capital funding required to continue operations well into the foreseeable
future. In our opinion, United Messaging is taking all the appropriate
steps to ensure an upper rung on the ASP ladder and we further believe
that their backend technology rivals that of any competitor.
