CHICAGO and RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- IEX Corporation (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies), a Tekelec company (Nasdaq: TKLC - News), a leading provider of contact center workforce management and business optimization technology, today announced at ICCM Chicago (booth #1113), that its TotalView® Workforce Management system now supports the Brazilian Portuguese language. TotalView workstations can be configured for multiple languages, even within the same contact center.
 
The TotalView WebStation feature already supports Portuguese, Spanish, French, Dutch, German and Danish languages in addition to English. WebStation allows agents and supervisors to view schedules and performance statistics from their desks using a standard Web browser. With the additional WebStation Plus feature, agents are also able to trade schedules, submit schedule bids or request changes to their schedules.
 
The company plans to add support for the German language to its TotalView Workforce Management system later this year. Swedish language support will also be added to the WebStation product in 2004.
 
The number of international and multilingual contact centers is growing rapidly, along with the need for workforce management technology to support multiple languages. "IEX is committed to expanding multilingual support," said Debbie May, president of IEX. "The addition of the Brazilian Portuguese language expands our reach in the global marketplace and solidifies our position as the workforce management system of choice all over the world."
 
IEX was named workforce management market share leader by Frost & Sullivan in 2003. The company continues to expand its international presence with the addition of multilingual capabilities for TotalView.
