2123 — Witness Systems Strengthens Leadership Position in IP Recording; Surpasses 1,000th Implementation Milestone with Cisco Systems

Jul 11, 2006 | Conteúdos Em Ingles

Witness Systems has surpassed its 1,000th worldwide customer site deployment of Impact 360 IP Recording in a Cisco Systems Unified Contact Centre environment.
 

Witness Systems’ Impact 360 IP Recording solution allows customers to record, categorise, notify and store calls for both quality and compliance purposes. Further, the solution can scale down to single channel recording to meet the needs of individuals or smaller businesses, and scale up to fulfil the full-time recording requirements at the enterprise level, as well as in large- and multi-site contact centres.

“With 1,000 customer site deployments in a Cisco Unified Contact Centre environment, we’re furthering our goal of bringing the benefits of contact recording, review and analysis to potentially everyone who uses a telephone at their place of work,” said Bill Schneider, Director of Global Strategic Partnerships for Witness Systems. “As a fully scalable and cost-effective solution, Impact 360 IP Recording can meet the needs of organisations of all types and sizes. We’re focused together with Cisco on delivering the most advanced solutions and infrastructures to drive business efficiencies, revenue and customer satisfaction.”

“Cisco recently marked its 3000th Unified Contact Center customer. Clearly, achieving 1000 joint deployments with Witness Systems’ IP Recording illustrates the success of this solution and the market commitment that Witness Systems brings,” said Cindy Thibault, Partner Programme Manager for Cisco’s Customer Contact Business Unit. “Witness Systems is a long-standing member of the Cisco Technology Developer Partner Programme, an investment that helps further emphasise and ensure product reliability, solid support and customer success.”

The Cisco Technology Developer Programme sets criteria for interoperability testing by independent third parties and helps enable leading product and services firms to deploy innovative business solutions. The programme provides enterprise or service provider customers – such as Witness Systems – with information regarding Cisco Technology Developer Partner products and services that an independent testing facility has tested and found to interoperate with Cisco networking technology.

Together, the Witness Systems and Cisco technology helps enable great opportunities for improving business performance. Enterprises can reliably fulfil compliance requirements; improve productivity; reduce costs by improving operational efficiency; and increase caller/customer satisfaction.
