New fundamental Voicemail Services are not visible
What is the next stage of communication?
Where are we going to?
Combine Voicemailand Email Message to
Unified Messaging Service
create a Unified Messaging Box (UMB)

Typical login time to Email server is 7 to 30 sec The .com world will accept this
Nobody will accept such a delay on a telephone interface
Voicemail Message and status information (e.g. you have „n“ new Voicemails and „m“ Emails incl. header information) must be presented without any delay
Customer Expectations I
Michael Möhlenhof T-Mobil;Systemtechnology 20.04.23
page:8
No customer likes to change his telephone number or his Email address
Subscriber will expect well known intelligent notification schemes for all types of messages
Customer Expectations II
Michael Möhlenhof T-Mobil;Systemtechnology 20.04.23
page:9
Messages will be primarily accessed via the appropriate interfaces Voicemessages at the telephone as
speech Faxmessages with a fax machine Emails with an E-Mail Client
(Computer), Web Mail To reduce the traffic between systems
keep messages local until requested on other media
Assumption for UMB product I
Michael Möhlenhof T-Mobil;Systemtechnology 20.04.23
page:10
Added value is generated by interworking functions as Listen to E-Mails when on the move Collecting voicemails when online
(less important) Unified overview over all messages
received
Assumption for UMB product II
Michael Möhlenhof T-Mobil;Systemtechnology 20.04.23
page:11
Existing features at the Voice interface must be available for the customer
Examples: „Notification Engine“ HLR-Interrogation before Outcall
notification (smart notification) Automatic identification of the
customer by CLI Existing user interface

EMC: Enhanced Message Collector Flexible interface between Voicemail and
Email systems Interfaces three systems:
Voicemail system E-mail storage (EMS) Large directory engine (LDE)
Technical solution: EMC

All parts of the concept should be based on open standards A candidate could be IMAP 4 for interfacing VMS/EMS
POP3 may be used instead but raises some security problem does not allow for intelligent management of the message
box
LDE accessed by LDAP (X.500)
EMC: Open Interfaces

Large Directory Engine used for Administration interface Special secured storage of Log-ins for
EMS and VMS Customer address book etc.
Note: Password entrance of EMS defined by
ISP VMS Entrance secured by CLI / SIM or
password
Large Directory Engine:

All telephone operators have a voicemail system Development of new VMS Services fades out Investments should be saved Go internet
