SEATTLE and RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- IEX Corporation (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies), a Tekelec (Nasdaq: TKLC - News) company, today announced, at the Annual Call Center Exhibition (Booth #417), it has been awarded a contract from TDC to expand the TotalView® Workforce Management system it purchased in 2001 from 500 to 2,000 agents. As part of the agreement, TDC also purchased the full set of TotalView Advanced Features including the WebStation(TM) Plus and SmartSync(TM) Suite solutions.

IEX is a leading provider of contact center workforce management and business optimization solutions. TDC is the leading provider of telecommunications services in Denmark.

"Prior to the initial installation, we conducted an extensive side-by-side comparison of TotalView and other leading workforce management systems. We were searching for a system that could produce the most accurate and efficient schedules in both single and multiskill environments," said Ulrik Willemoes Jorgensen, section manager of workforce management at TDC. "TotalView was a clear winner in our evaluation. After using the system on a small scale, we've realized the tremendous savings we can gain from a more widespread deployment."

The TotalView WebStation Plus feature automates many tedious and time consuming tasks within the contact center such as schedule trades and bids, and provides easy access to information for agents and their supervisors using only a standard Web browser. The TotalView SmartSync Suite feature facilitates trouble-free data integration between the TotalView system and other contact center and enterprise applications.

"We're committed to providing superior products and unsurpassed customer service," said Debbie May, president of IEX. "TDC's continued support is evidence that we are delivering on that commitment."
