Symbol Technologies Names Vocollect a Premier Independent Software Vendor

Vocollect Voice meets Symbol's Solutions Validation Program performance and reliability requirements

Symbol Technologies Inc., the Enterprise Mobility CompanyT, has named Vocollect, Inc., the world leader in voice-directed work, a PartnerSelect Premier Independent Software Vendor. As a member of Symbol's PartnerSelect Partner Program, customers can now use Vocollect Voice, Vocollect's gold standard voice software offerings, on Symbol terminals, providing the same industry-leading voice performance available with Vocollect's Talkman wearable computers. By joining the Symbol PartnerSelect Partner Program, Vocollect and Symbol will develop technical, sales and marketing programs to address current and future customer demand for voice-directed applications running on select Symbol mobile computers.

Vocollect also co-validated its deployment management and distribution
applications through Symbol's Solutions Validation Program. As part of the
program, Symbol and Vocollect engineers performed a series of tests to
co-validate the performance and interoperability of Vocollect Voice,
including Vocollect's deployment management and distribution applications,
Vocollect VoiceConsole and VoiceLink, with Symbol's rugged MC9060 mobile
computer running on a Symbol Wi-Fi network. As a result of the validation,
customers can be confident in the performance of Vocollect Voice on the
Symbol MC9060 mobile computer to leverage the accuracy and productivity
benefits of voice-directed work with scanning, keypad and display functions
in business-critical applications.

"We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Symbol in the validation
of Vocollect Voice on the MC9060 mobile computer," said Tim Eusterman, vice
president, marketing and business development, Vocollect. "This validation
means that our mutual customers now have a reliable voice-directed work
solution that delivers the accuracy and productivity of Vocollect Voice on
one of the most popular rugged mobile computers in the market today."

"The value of the voice-directed approach to enhance logistics applications
is growing across all sectors of industry," said Pat McCullough, vice
president and general manager of Symbol's Solutions Division. "The
Vocollect-Symbol solution validation will provide confidence to customers
deploying voice-directed work applications in key markets, including retail,
manufacturing, transportation and healthcare."
