Advanced speech recognition together with automatic recording, advanced analytics and assistance features provide a dynamic solution capable of delivering solid return on investment for the modern contact center.

Steve Kaiser, Chief Executive Officer of Stevens Communications commented, "Autonomy's long standing reputation for innovation, its outstanding roster of clients, and its commitment to the call center industry was a solid match with our organization. After a thorough investigation of the Audentify offering, we were convinced that this advanced technology would allow us to offer our customers a highly differentiated solution that provides immediate impact on corporate revenue and profitability on a significant scale. With Audentify, Stevens can deliver a guaranteed ROI to all our customers."
