SINGAPORE -- 7 March 2001 --
Home-grown Application Service Provider JustLogin (Booth: F10) today announced
at Internet World Asia @ Singapore 2001, the launch and availability of its
voice-enabled leave management application for enterprises. This makes JustLogin
the first in Asia to offer an office collaborative application on the emerging
VoiceXML standard.
Supported by Hewlett-Packard and Tech Genesis
Solutions technologies, JustLogin's voice-enabled application "eLeave" will
allow users to submit and process leave applications via voice commands through
the phone.
"We are constantly looking at ways to improve our current
offerings and to better meet the needs of our customers. Voice-enabling our
leave management application has allowed us to offer companies an alternative
interface to improve their workplace processes. Employees who do not have access
to PCs or the Internet can now also enjoy the convenience of eLeave," said Kwa
Kim Chiong, CEO and Founder of JustLogin.
"As the e-services provider
for JustLogin, HP is pleased to support the provision of eLeave over our robust
and reliable infrastructure," said Lawrence Chong, E-Services Business Manager,
HP Services, South-East Asia.
JustLogin's eLeave will allow users to
submit or process leave applications within a simple telephone call. All users
need to do is to respond with their voices according to the step-by-step
instructions given, and interaction is carried out through a real-time
intelligent speech-recognition engine. eLeave also comes with Short Message
Service (SMS) and email capabilities to allow applicants to receive approval
notifications.
JustLogin plans to voice-enable the other applications in
its office collaborative suite. In the near future, users can expect to be able
to book meeting rooms, access corporate contact information, participate in
surveys, etc, using voice-enabled applications from JustLogin.
