Company's Industry-Leading VoIP Monitoring and Management Products Wins
Enterprise Systems Software Award and is Singled Out From Among
100 Industry Contenders for Best in Show Honors
FREDERICK, Md., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Qovia, Inc., the sales leader in
products for monitoring and management of voice quality on Internet telephone
systems, today announced that they have earned the "Best of Show" award in the
Government Computer News (GCN) Best New Technology Awards at the FOSE (Federal
Office Systems Exposition) show currently being held in Washington, D.C.
Qovia won its category, Enterprise Systems Software, and was also named the
overall "Best of Show" winner, chosen from over 100 industry contenders and
hundreds of companies exhibiting at the show. Qovia fills a void in Voice
over IP.
The Best of Show awards emphasize technologic innovation and potential
positive impact on Federal IT solutions. Each winner submitted a thorough
application and displayed and demonstrated their product on the FOSE show
floor.
Thomas R. Temin, senior vice president and editor-in-chief for
PostNewsweek Tech Media, summed up the Best New Technology at FOSE contest
this way, "Our editors looked for innovative products that apply to the
government market in a powerful way. The editors, led by our GCN Lab staff,
carefully analyzed the nominations to select the winning products. Hats off
to these companies for their deep understanding of what products our
government needs."
"The FOSE show is the most important venue for products that will help
federal agencies to streamline their operations using information technology,"
said Richard Tworek, Qovia's CEO and founder. "From the beginning, Qovia has
recognized that VoIP is an ideal fit for federal agencies that need to do more
with their telephone systems. And as the Department of Homeland Security,
Department of Agriculture, United States Post Office and other agencies move
to VoIP, Qovia will be there to make their networks more reliable and less
expensive to operate. Today's announcement from FOSE shows that we are on the
right track as we work to become a central figure in the booming Internet
telephony market."
"For Federal agencies and for systems integrators that are making the move
to VoIP, Qovia is a must-have," said R. Pierce Reid, VP Marketing for Qovia.
"The key question being asked by Federal IT managers and network professionals
when it comes to VoIP is: 'How do I monitor and manage this phone system?'
Qovia provides that answer with products that monitor the network health;
alert the IT team when anomalies occur in the network; and act as 'virtual
hands' letting IT professionals manage the network remotely. This helps
ensure that VoIP phone systems achieve the same reliability and ease of use
associated with old phones, while delivering the new capabilities that make
VoIP the clear choice when it comes to voice."
Qovia, Inc. develops software products running on Linux appliances that
monitor and manage voice quality on Internet telephone systems. Internet
phones use Internet technology to carry voice traffic and are regarded as the
next generation of phone systems. Internet Telephony is one of the first
technology areas to show rapid growth following the recent global slump in IT
sales. Monitoring and management are needed to ensure reliability and quality
and will help Internet telephony gain momentum as the communications medium of
choice for business and residential users. Qovia's voice quality monitoring
and management hardware and software are already being used on more than 100
networks including several mission-critical government systems. Customers
include Fortune 1000 businesses, school districts, government agencies, law
enforcement agencies, banking and finance, call centers, voice carriers and
others.
