ATLANTA, January 14, 2008 — OpenSpan, Inc., the enabler of the New Enterprise Desktop, today announced that OpenSpan CEO Francis Carden will present a session titled, “The Birth of the New Enterprise Desktop” at TMC’s INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO East 2008, January 23 - 25 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Florida.

“Call centers today are under a great deal of pressure to enhance employee productivity at the desktop level,” said Carden. “Unfortunately, too many organizations are limited by the old method of cutting and pasting data from one application to the next, an error-prone habit that squanders precious seconds. The call center industry is now ready for the new enterprise desktop, one that dramatically simplifies application integration, business process automation and composite application building processes to drive productivity improvements for customer-facing employees.”

INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO is the world’s largest and best-attended IP Communications trade show.  Last year’s east coast event, drew more than 7,000 buyers and sellers of IP Communications products and services.  The upcoming show in January will be the 17th INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, and TMC projects total attendance to exceed 7,500.

“We are very pleased that Mr. Carden will be participating in this year’s show,” said TMC president and conference chairman, Rich Tehrani. “OpenSpan is widely recognized and respected as an industry leader, and I am confident that our attendees will appreciate and value the opportunity to hear his perspective on how the new enterprise desktop paradigm can increase overall call center efficiency. Over the past twelve months, widespread deployment of IP Communications services by global service providers, businesses and governments has reinforced that this exciting technology is a viable, cost-effective communications solution.  As a result, we are seeing a significant number of senior-level executives attending INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO as a means of learning about the technology so they too can take advantage of its benefits.”
