ICI Selects NICE VoIP Total Recording Solution to Comply with Brazilian Government Regulations

 

 

Ra`anana, Israel, June 4, 2003 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a worldwide leader of multimedia recording solutions, applications and related professional services for business interaction management, today announced that Instituto Curitiba de Informātica (ICI), a Brazilian government organization offering information technology products and services to the Brazilian government, selected NICE VoIP Total Recording solution for its Curitiba City contact center.  ICI will capture Internet-based customer calls to comply with the Brazilian government mandate that all customer interactions with government agencies be recorded.

 

ICI is using the NICE VoIP Total Recording system and Avaya IP switch implemented by Brazilian-based Wittel in its Curitiba City contact center, which receives more than 55,000 calls per month and has 110 agents.  ICI selected the VoIP solution to support its Internet-based telephony recording needs.  

 

Using Internet-based phone calls provides an organization with total-cost-of-ownership savings due to less expensive calling rates and less storage space requirements.  Traditional recording systems that only capture PBX-based (standard telephone) calls are unsuitable for an all-IP or hybrid environment.  

 

"We needed a recording system that was reliable and scalable enough to meet our Internet-based call recording needs," said Adriano Mormul, IT Manager of Instituto Curitiba de Informātica.  "NICE is one of the only vendors offering this system today, and theirs has proven to be the best."

 

"More and more governments are adopting IP as the standard of their communications infrastructure", commented Koby Huberman, corporate VP of business development and strategic alliances at NICE Systems.  "This latest agreement with ICI in Brazil demonstrates NICE's commitment to lead with VoIP recording for both government and enterprise sectors on a worldwide basis."

Cabela`s Selects Recording and Quality Monitoring System from NICE to Complement Aspect Contact Server Solution

 

Combination Offers Complete Quality Monitoring and a 360-Degree View of a major retailer`s Customer Interactions

 

Ra`anana, Israel, June 26, 03 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a worldwide leader of multimedia recording solutions, applications and related professional services for business interaction management, today announced that Cabela`s Inc., the world`s foremost outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, has selected a recording and quality monitoring solution from NICE to help improve agent performance and customer satisfaction as well as ensure the success of marketing campaigns.

 

According to Cabela`s, immediately after installing the NICE system across its five Nebraska-based call centers, its quality assurance department was able to utilize the voice and screen recordings to accurately identify call center agents` strengths, as well as the skills that needed improvement.

 

"This total view instantly answered some questions that had been out of our reach for many years," said Darren Robinson, Cabela`s manager of call center technologies and network services.  "Actually seeing the screen with the voice opened new avenues for training opportunities and assisted our marketing team by ensuring agents were following their tracking procedures for advertising campaigns."

 

NiceUniverse provides Cabela`s with web access to recorded customer interactions combined with detailed call data received from Aspect® Contact Server.  Aspect Communications` software integrates call center resources throughout the enterprise into one centrally managed system that can use data in customer databases to direct call routing, carry critical information to the desktops of call center staff at the moment calls are connected and transmit data along with transferred calls.

 

Jason Meyer, Cabela`s Systems Specialist added, "We not only use the NICE system to make sure the quality of our agents is world class, but also to make sure the systems and software they use to do their job are performing well.  We can see almost immediately if there is a system problem or improvement that could be made that would help the agents do their job more efficiently and provide better customer service.  This new view of how both our people and systems work together helps us gain a better understanding of our employee and customer needs."

"In retail today, customer service is being used as a major competitive differentiator," said Shlomo Shamir, president and CEO of NICE Systems, Inc.  "Cabela`s is another great example of our many retail customers using NICE`s recording and quality monitoring system to ensure consistency in delivering world-class customer service."

"After meeting with several companies that provided similar monitoring packages we felt the NICE solution best fit our needs", continued Robinson.  "NICE has a good foundation for supporting R&D and has many features today that cannot be found in competitors` solutions.  The initial vendor evaluation ran concurrently with a survey of existing Cabela`s business contacts and vendor-supplied contacts regarding their satisfaction with NICE Systems` service, support, and product functionality.  The most common name for positive feedback that came from our surveys was NICE Systems.  Once the decision was made we were very comfortable with their sales and implementation team.  Both areas took customer satisfaction very seriously and have proven NICE to be a true customer-oriented company."  

 

According to Cabela`s training and quality assurance manager Heather Kratzer, "The NICE platform reduces the need for assumption and builds both credibility and confidence in the feedback provided to agents by the evaluators and supervisors.   When providing feedback, accurate and complete information is critical.  Actually knowing what the agent did is much better than assumptions.  This view also helps our employees see new and different ways to improve customer service and skills on an individual level."
