Lyndhurst, NJ – November 26, 2001 – Mercom Systems, Inc. (www.mercom.com), a leading provider of computer telephony solutions, is joining with software giant Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) to deliver a series of seminars that will demonstrate dedicated hardware and software solutions available to public safety IT professionals.
The Public Safety Now Seminars, to be held at locations from Washington, D.C. to New England over the next month, represent a joint effort between Mercom, Microsoft, and six other vendors of public safety IT solutions. Together the companies will demonstrate how combinations of the latest hardware and software can lead to increased speed, accuracy and availability -- and life-saving emergency responses.
"The ability to automatically record, log and retrieve emergency calls and radio traffic is essential to the operation of any modern public safety agency," said Frank Giebutowski, General Manager for Microsoft’s state and local government business. "Mercom has a vital role in the Public Safety Now seminar series, and its award-winning Windows-based Audiolog logging recorder is a perfect example of how technology can improve public safety services."

The seminars bring together a unique group of Microsoft partners. Besides Mercom, participants include Plant Equipment Inc., ESRI Technology, CRISNet, AT&T Wireless, Aether Systems, and Dialogic Communications Corporation. These companies offer a complementary family of standards-based solutions built on Microsoft technologies that not only support public safety requirements today, but also emerging public safety technologies.
