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."
