Simple story: an earthquake strikes L.A. The people there scramble to get information and return to productivity. Voice mail comes through by providing the communications when it’s needed most. The incident inspires an idea for a very moving ad: tell the story.

   
 
 

 

 

Sometimes it takes an act of God
to make you believe in the power of voicemail.

The Los Angeles earthquake was a terrible disaster. But in many cases, its impact wasn't nearly as disastrous as it might have been. Thanks to voice mail.

While collapsed roadways kept thousands from getting to work, Octel's voice mail users could still get to work. Many began telecommuting. And throughout the L.A. area, and the entire country, voice mail helped business people stay in touch with their colleagues and customers. So they could get on with business. In fact, of the 700-plus Octel installations in the L.A. area, not a single system failed because of the quake.

Our customers involved in the relief efforts used Octel voice mail to improve their communication effectiveness when it mattered most. Through the power of automation, callers were able to quickly access the vital information they needed to dal with emergency situations.

Millions of productive business people rely on our voice mail systems every day. Because having an Octel mailbox is like having a personal information center. You can use it to send, retrieve or forward voice and fax messages. Anywhere. Any time.

Whether you're a newcomer to voice mail, an Octel customer, or joined the Octel family by way of our recent merger with VMX®, we'd like you to have a free copy of Voice Mail To The Rescue. Call 1-800-595-7676 and we'll send you this valuable information kit. It's bound to make a believer out of you.
