PAR3 Communications has announced today that it is embracing a new corporate identity. The company’s new name, Varolii Corporation, is derived from Pons Varolii, a pathway in the brain that unites intelligence and learning with the ability to communicate. This concept aligns with the company’s direction and approach: to redefine the way companies and their customers communicate. The new brand identity also represents a stronger expanded company. In December 2005, PAR3 acquired EnvoyWorldWide, a provider of notification services for business continuity and emergency communications. The companies have integrated both technologies and teams, resulting in an enhanced offering that adapts to individual business needs. http://www.par3.com/
