The Amanda@SOHO system is programmed and maintained through the telephone user interface, therefore requires no monitor or keyboard.

Automated Attendant
Amanda@SOHO can function as a main, backup, or off-duty attendant. Extensions may be dialed directly, or your caller may use an employee directory to locate individuals by either their first OR last name. Simple, single-digit selections can be configured for easy and quick access to your company's main departments.

Message Notification
With Amanda@SOHO, message waiting lamp notification is pre-set for every mailbox. There are three additional notification records available, which may be used for voice notification to an inside extension, voice notification to an outside number, and pager notification with the mailbox number.

Voice Messaging
Amanda@SOHO provides callers with the option to leave a message for the person or department they are calling. Messages can be marked "private", which makes them unable to be forwarded to another mailbox, and/or "urgent", which would cause it to be the first message played by recipient. After leaving a message, callers have the option to dial another extension, department, or the receptionist. Once a message is retrieved, it can be forwarded to another person or a list of people.

Audiotext
Configurable "information only" mailboxes accommodate caller access to any recorded information. Provides 24-hour access to frequently asked questions ranging from hours, address and directions to promotional or product-specific information.

Investment Protection
tAA's functional design specifications call for a common, standardized platform for all Amanda products. As your communications requirements change, you can migrate applications developed for the Amanda@SOHO platform to a high-volume, CTI, or network telephony version of the Amanda suite of products.
