Recent acquisition of Paragon is the real thing;;
/06/00 - Interactive Telesis Purchases Controlling Interest in Paragon Voice Systems; Acquisition Positions Interactive Telesis as Key Player in Automated Speech Recognition
SAN DIEGO, Jan 6, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Interactive Telesis Inc., a leading provider of sophisticated, high-end interactive voice response (IVR) services today announced that it has acquired a 56.67% interest in Paragon Voice Systems, a leading value-added reseller and developer of computer telephony solutions.
The acquisition of Paragon signals the commitment of ITI to pursue the deployment of automated speech recognition (ASR) technology and to become one of the premiere hosting facilities for complex ASR applications. The companies will develop an integrated product offering that will offer both IVR and ASR technology under a common product line to maximize the opportunities in offering integrated services to its clientele.
Automated speech recognition technology allows computer systems to understand exactly what customers are saying. For example, the technology is sophisticated enough to understand complex voice commands such as "buy 1475 shares of Microsoft at the market price." A recent study commissioned by Nuance Communications found that 74 percent of people prefer using ASR or voice driven applications to live operators. In addition, 84 percent prefer ASR to touch-tone, Web-interface or keyboard methods. By providing users with a far more comfortable and flexible interface than touch-tone, speech-activated applications lower costs and raise customer satisfaction levels.
Automated speech recognition is viewed by many as an adjunct to the Internet. The rise of the Web has whetted the public's appetite for instant information. As a result, Web providers are looking for additional ways of providing access including wireless devices and the telephone.
According to Donald Cameron, president and chief executive officer of Interactive Telesis, the companies' combined strengths will provide a turnkey solution to businesses wishing to capitalize on the latest advances in speech technologies. "As a provider of IVR services to Fortune 1000 companies, Interactive Telesis has both the infrastructure and experience to deploy robust, speech-enabled applications. Paragon is similarly renowned for its development of leading-edge voice applications. Together, our companies are uniquely positioned to meet the exploding demand for ASR applications in industries ranging from financial services to transportation."
"By merging Paragon's expertise in voice systems with ITI's network infrastructure, our companies can provide customers with a single source for developing and deploying complex ASR applications," said Ken Ravazzolo, president and CEO of Paragon Voice Systems. "We look forward to working with ITI to bring the benefits of natural language speech recognition to leading companies nationwide." Ravazzolo added that Paragon has already formed strategic alliances with the two leading providers of conversational speech recognition technology, SpeechWorks International (www.speechworks.com) and Nuance Communications (www.nuance.com).

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2000--TFN, The Football Network, Inc., (OTC BB: TFNK), announced today that it has retained the services of Newberger, Greenberg and Associates (NG&A), a leading media advisory firm based in Westlake Village, California, to provide TFN with specialized industry expertise, detailed in depth strategic and operating plans and direct assistance with capital formation.

Is it too late to buy TSIS in your opinion, and where do you think it might go in the next few years? You seem to be knowledgeable about both IVOC and TSIS. Should one buy one or both of these companies.
Thanks for your opinion,
Susan |

In all probability right now would be a great time to get in. Leadership is changing. Some strong hands I know are selling partial holdings, because of the long holding period of 5 years in some cases. But of the strong hands I'd venture to say that they still have 2/3 of their holdings. Having gotten their initial ante out , they will be much more stingy of relinquishing the balance of their holdings.
Did you notice the sell off on light volume this morning and then the heavy volume kicked in when it started rising. Remember it is only 4 days into this explosion, many investors have not had the guts to pull the buy trigger, and they are waiting in line to buy the dips....for example EDIG had a run to 10 pulled back to 5 and then ran to 25.
We still have the 4th qtr. ending 01/31/00, the final announcement of full listing status, record year end results, it's going to be a good year.... major contract announcements. In the 26 months I have owned sales have increased 30 fold, debt free, cash flow increasing daily, retooling of Paragon, with the fresh infusion of cash. You see the cash TSIS is using to purchase Paragon is going into the company, not an individuals pocket. So I think today is a great time to get in..around 2.00 bucks ...absolutely...and plan on holding to take the long term capital gain......gregor |

gregor,
Thanks... I am going to pull the trigger here. I hate BB MM's, because they tend to take advantage of you , and you have to wait so long for the reports. By the way, I have a large position in LITH, which is a unique battery play. I just bought it this AM, and think it is going to be a winner. |
