Ray will lead the global expansion of Commetrex\u2019 OEM sales channels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ray offers 20 years of sales and marketing expertise and a track record of driving revenue growth in Commetrex\u2019 key markets. In addition to his extensive knowledge of the voice industry, Ray has a keen understanding of the unique requirements facing Commetrex\u2019 platform and solution-provider customers, according to Company spokesman, Alex Adams.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ray has held management positions at Fortune 500 firms including Nortel Networks, IBM, Sony, and Proctor &amp; Gamble. In his most recent role as Senior Vice President, Sales &amp; Business Development for Vocalocity, Ray led the sales activities for the company\u2019s VoiceXML-based product suite. Previously, he was Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at VoiceGenie Technologies, where he directed the sales organization responsible for the company\u2019s first profitable year and was instrumental in establishing the company as an industry leader.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mike Coffee, Commetrex\u2019 Chief Executive Officer, commented: &#8220;We are extremely fortunate to have Tom join our management team. He has repeatedly proven his ability to build and execute aggressive strategies and programs for sales growth. His wealth of experience in the media-server market, especially in the VoiceXML\/media server resource control segment, adds an important dimension to our leadership portfolio. We expect <em>BladeWare<\/em> sales to quickly accelerate as a result of his efforts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is speculated that Ray\u2019s background will prompt Commetrex to expand its product offering to support the IMS-specified &#8220;media resource function controller&#8221; by adding a VoiceXML capability. Ray added, &#8220;I\u2019m looking forward to not only moving <em>BladeWare<\/em> deeper into the telecom-equipment market, but to combine <em>BladeWare<\/em> with our expanding PCI-board product line and move into the enterprise-OEM market for gateway and fax-server applications. I look forward to the challenge of building this market with the entire Commetrex team and our partners.&#8221;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; el_class=&#8221;press_release_inner_page&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1578991890670{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;press_release_inner_page_bg&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>About Bladeware<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"BladeWare HMP Media Server\" href=\"http:\/\/commetrex.com\/products\/bladeware-hmp-media-server\/\">BladeWare<\/a>, Commetrex\u2019 SIP-based value-adding HMP media server, is the industry\u2019s only host-media-processing media server that supports both T.38 and G.711 pass-through fax terminations.
