Delete - Not WP:GNG due to lack of WP:SIGCOV. All the sources I could find for this software were either from the company's website or press releases issued by the company. Per WP:PRESERVE and WP:PRODUCT, I would not find it objectionable if some information from this article was merged into ValCom. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 07:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
