Phenomenal & Lemanix Offer IPT Middleware

New strategic alliance to provide customers with complete IP Telephony Application solutions

EDINA, Minnesota – Phenomenal Networks announces the signing of an exclusive strategic alliance with Lemanix Corporation, a software development company based in Eagan, Minnesota. The combined skills of the companies will provide customers with application solutions that seamlessly integrate their IP Telephony communications infrastructure with existing databases allowing employees simple and effective access to the latest information. This access can be at local or remote locations via secure Internet connections.

As one of the top regional Cisco Premier Partners, Phenomenal Networks specializes in designing and implementing IP Telephony hardware systems for medium sized businesses. Lemanix is the region's leading Borland Solutions Partner, specializing in enterprise application development and integration services for the Microsoft Windows, .NET, and Linux platforms. In this new arrangement, Lemanix will design the "middleware" that will link a company's existing databases such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, DB2, and MySQL with the Cisco IP Telephony system.

"Most people think of the Toll Bypass savings when the subject of IP Telephony comes up, says Dave Shepherdson, President of Phenomenal, "but that is only a small part of the overall solution. As IPT is IP based, the XML enabled Cisco phones are capable of the same functionality as a thin client, allowing access to real time disparate data as well as voice communication. For example, sales people can get instant, up-to-date stock and pricing information direct on their IP telephones. We are finding that customers now see the productivity advantages but need someone to provide the complete data and communication solution. That is where the Lemanix team complements our communications strengths."

"We are excited to be able to work with Phenomenal in this fast emerging new technology area," commented Mark Theiste, President and CEO of Lemanix. "We have worked for many years providing business software solutions for key companies in the Midwest and recognize the great need for providing the most effective access to often disparate corporate databases. This is a major step in us giving customers the next phase of productivity improvements with a fast return on investment."
