New Approach to Knowledge Management Recognized at Annual Call Center Exhibition
Dallas, TX. - October 31, 2006 - etalk Corporation, a division of Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L) and leading provider of contact center recording and analytics solutions, announced today that Qfiniti Assist has been named Best of Show at this year's Annual Call Center Exhibition (ACCE) held in Seattle. Qfiniti Assist, introduced in September at ACCE, uses speech technology to understand the customer conversation with an agent, and then offers agents accurate responses using advanced information retrieval.
"From a strategic perspective, etalk's Qfiniti Assist has tremendous implications for a call center because it allows it to establish a knowledge base that, over time, becomes informed by the questions customers ask agents," said Joe Fleischer, chief technical editor with Call Center Magazine. "It's an intriguing approach that has caught our attention, and that we believe is worthy of the attention of call center managers as well."
Qfiniti Assist is a powerful voice and analytics driven tool that enables real time knowledge support for agents during a customer interaction. Qfiniti Assist combines speech and information access technology to provide users with answers conceptually related to the agent-customer conversation. By arming agents with Qfiniti Assist, businesses can immediately reduce handle times, increase customer satisfaction, and deliver improved call center efficiency.
"We are thrilled that Qfiniti Assist has been recognized as an outstanding product," said Scott Shute, etalk CEO. "By giving agents the knowledge and confidence they need to deliver fast, accurate answers to their customers, I believe this solution will become an instrumental part of enhancing contact center efficiency."
The awards were announced in the November issue of Call Center Magazine.
