Welcome to Enabling Technologies Blog!

We launched the blog to provide an informal outreach to our customers, prospects, partners and other interested parties. Our blog will give you information about our company, products, and industry trends, allowing you to remain state of the art in the unified messaging arena.

We have multiple authors who will provide content to our blog and wanted to introduce them to you.

Bill Vollerthum

Bill Vollerthum is President and Founder of Enabling Technologies Corp, founded in 1992. Bill’s guiding vision for specialization in electronic e-mail retention/compliance, voicemail, faxing and speech applications has enabled organizations to take full advantage of their investments in messaging technology while adhering to ever changing regulatory compliance statutes.

Bill is known outside of the company for his devotion and hard charging attitude in building a company that refuses to be a “one size fits all” general consulting practice. Bill chose to take a page from the legal and medical industry and create a practice that would be sought out by organizations as the global leader in a specific technical competency. One of the key underpinnings for the company’s success has been staying focused on their core competency in messaging, enabling them to deliver meet the needs of their clients in the areas of unified/ mobility communications, e-mail compliance and electronic discovery.
