The SCSA Developers Conference '94

SCSA has taken the computing and telecommunications markets by storm.
In  just over a year, SCSA has already gained broad-based support from
over  230 companies, with over 100 participating in the definition of
specifications, and many more industry leaders joining the initiative.

Now, with over 20 SCSA hardware products announced and the new SCSA
TAO   Framework (software architecture) being released, there are even
more  opportunities for software developers, technology suppliers,
algorithm  vendors, computer resellers, equipment manufacturers and
service  providers to use SCSA to reach broader markets.  

The SCSA Developers Conference 1994 can help you to take advantage of
existing and future market opportunities. This two-day conference will
cover technical topics and business issues, including:

        * Viewpoints from industry analysts on market trends and requirements
        * Progress reports on SCSA technical and marketing initiatives

"Dialogic's SCSA takes a layered approach to integrating
telephony with computer applications... Applications _ and
applications developers _ are freed from dealing with the
complexities of device drivers, call processing hardware or 
interfaces to telephone lines."
  Byte, August 1993

"SCSA is already recognized by both TAPI and TSAPI, has been adopted
by many telephony hardware vendors, and is the closest thing to a
unifying standard that exists in today's  telephony market."
VARBusiness, July 1994
