Today's News

VPCommand Announced
While it is important for liability and quality assurance purposes that contact centers employ full time recording to record all of their agents' verbal transactions, it is often seen as not necessary to record all the phone calls of the contact center supervisors and senior management. For contact centers that record over analog lines, this used to be a problem. Voice Print has designed an application - VPCommand - that offers contact centers the features of selective recording for third party verification and other purposes where it once was not possible.



MEGAPUTER Intelligence Releases X-SellAnalyst
MEGAPUTER announced the availability of X-SellAnalyst, a self-learning recommendation engine based on a transaction-centered analysis technology. X-SellAnalyst aims to help increase sales in Call Center, e-Commerce or Brick-and-Mortar retail environment. The system enables the implementing company to increase each customer wallet share and improve customer satisfaction by identifying the best cross-sell opportunities through the analysis of historical transactions and providing accurate purchase recommendations.



Sage Research Publishes Findings
