Q. Why do I need Rodopi Voice Server (RVS) at all?

They will work 24 hours a day and will cost you less than $1,000 per employee life time.

Q. We just purchased expensive VM system. How do we justify the expense for another one?
A. RVS will take care of all your service calls. If your general VM system has 12 ports, you may reduce those to 4 ports only and purchase 8 port RVS. The new combination will cost you less and will do a better job for you. Remember that RVS is more than just VM. It is a combination of VM, IVR, CT and UM.
