Integrity Solutions Announces An Extended Beta Program for
FrontDesk, a Network Message Center

St. Paul, Mn. 


Integrity Solutions announces an Extended Beta Program for FrontDesk,
a networked office productivity tool. FrontDesk merges "While You Were
Out" telephone message notes and a traditional "In/Out" board with the
powerful network capabilities of NeXTSTEP.  Featuring a Client/Server
architecture, FrontDesk provides a cost effective solution to keeping
track of telephone messages and availability of office staff. Some of
the FrontDesk features include:

	- Client/Server Architecture
	- Integrated In/Out Board and "While You Were Out" Messaging
          System
	- Optional NeXTMail message delivery
	- Hot Keys for "I am Back", "I'm Gone" and "Do Not Disturb"
	- Operates over SLIP connections
	- Full RTF support in all message and comment fields
	- Urgent messages are color-coded (User selectable)
	- Type-ahead user list selection
	- Message summary printing
	- User defined personal profiles
	- Date and time stamps for updates
	- Support for NeXT mail pictures
	- Icon animation alerts for unread messages
	- API for Third Party Development

"Before FrontDesk and our network of NeXT computers, we would have to
make a special point of going up the the receptionist 2-4 times a day
to make sure we had all of our current messages," said Dr.  John
Andrews of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University
in Ames, Iowa. "Many of our messages would be a few hours old when we
retrieved them," he continued, "FrontDesk has been a blessing, now we
know immediately when a call is received."

The Extended Beta program offers interested NeXT users to beta test
Front Desk with a special version of the application that allows an
unlimited number network users. The Beta program will expire on
November 15, 1992 and Beta testers will have the opportunity of buying
the first release version for a substantial discount.

"Our custom development heritage shows with this beta release of
FrontDesk," said Rodger McBride, product manager of the FrontDesk
project. "We see this as a first round in a suite of networked office
productivity products. Our role is implementing solutions driven by
our customers needs."
