IRVING, Texas (February 7, 2006) - etalk, the largest provider of contact center quality management and speech analytics software and services, today underscored its continued success in Latin America with the announcement that it has signed 10 new channel partners in the region. The company's regional sales also increased by 54 percent last year, further solidifying its positioning in Latin America's contact center market. etalk is part of the Autonomy group of companies, with nearly 1,000 employees worldwide.

The new channel partners- e-Business Distribution Colombia S. A., Customer Interaction Consulting (CIC) and CGI-COMPUCOM, based in Colombia; e-Business Distribution Guatemala, with headquarters in Guatemala; e-Business Distribution Perú S.A., in Peru; GRUPO Estratel, based in Mexico; Gennari & Peartree, with offices in Brazil; Sinergit, located in the Dominican Republic; Raycom, based in Uruguay; and Altitude Software, with operations throughout Latin America-joined eight other firms that are helping etalk build market share and gain recognition throughout every country in the region.

"etalk considers Latin America of strategic importance to the future of the contact center industry," said Scott Shute, etalk's chief executive officer. "As a result, we are delighted to see that companies with such an established reputation in their markets have opted to partner with us to help Latin American businesses compete in the global market and obtain a greater return on investment from their contact centers."

Companies throughout 15 countries in Latin America use etalk's breakthrough call center technology, reflecting a trend of explosive growth in the contact center market in Latin America. According to Datamonitor, the number of agent positions in the region will grow by 17 percent, from 336,000 in 2003 to 730,000 in 2008.

With these partnerships, etalk demonstrates its approach to serving customers in Latin America and around the world.

"etalk works with a select group of channel partners in regions outside the United States not only to distribute products, but also to provide customers with the support they need to be successful," said John Sweeton, etalk's vice president of International Sales. "Instead of handing off our products to resellers, we build true partnerships with companies like these that have a reputation for technical expertise and great service."

Under the partnerships, these companies have gone through an intensive etalk training session to become certified on the company's products.

"We're excited to be working with a team of partners that truly understands the needs and challenges of contact centers in this region," said Fernando Castellanos, etalk's managing director for Latin America and Asia/Pacific. "Businesses are leveraging etalk's innovative technology to gain a better understanding of their customers' needs. And they are using this business intelligence to get an edge on the competition."
