TORRANCE, Calif., June 28, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Nova Communications Ltd, (OTCBB:NCVM) announced the successful completion by TEC-Networks of three separate Nortel Networks Accreditation Programs. The Accreditation Programs acknowledged TEC-Networks expertise in the latest release of Nortel Networks Norstar System, the Business Communications Manager (BCM) 2.5 and Nortel's prestigious new CallPilot messaging product.
TEC-Networks places a significant investment in ongoing training. The Nortel Networks Accreditation Programs give TEC-Networks the opportunity to reach the highest skill levels in the sales and support of Nortel's extensive line of sophisticated networking and communications products.
Accreditation authorizes TEC-Networks to perform complete end-to-end customer service and ensures that staff members are fully trained in all aspects of the specified products, including Nortel Networks new CallPilot messaging system. CallPilot brings together voicemail, email and faxes to create a communications management system that can be operated with voice commands from virtually anywhere. CallPilot's graphic user is easily managed with Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange/Outlook and Novell Groupwise. The system provides seamless integration with existing communications systems such as Meridian Mail, Norstar and others.
"We differentiate ourselves from the rest of the marketplace by our commitment to service and the extensive knowledge of our world class technicians," said Ken Owen, President of Nova Communications. "Participation in Nortel's accreditation programs gives us an edge over the competition."
