CallSource, US Marketing Intelligence Services Provider Selects NICE`s Interaction Analytics to Increase Clients` Sales and Marketing Effectiveness

 

NICE Interaction Analytics to help CallSource`s clients improve customer retention and loyalty
and telesales techniques

 

Ra`anana, Israel, June 04, 2008 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions to drive performance, today announced that CallSource, a US based leading provider of call tracking, performance evaluation, and training services, selected NICE`s Interaction Analytics solution, which is part of NICE SmartCenter, to help them enhance their clients sales and marketing effectiveness, capture additional sales opportunities, improve customer service, and increase customer retention rates.

 

CallSource serves the automotive, multi-family housing, publishing and advertising markets, plus thousands of businesses across diverse industries, and manages more than eight million phone leads each month for hundreds of thousands of advertisers.   Interaction Analytics from NICE will enable CallSource to perform a mass-analysis of its clients` customer call content, as well as automatic call categorization, trending, and root cause analysis.    

 

The NICE solution will categorize recorded customer interactions according to different criteria, a specific advertising campaign, or analysis type - such as `customer satisfaction levels` or occupancy and tenant retention, for the multi-family housing industry.  Next, trends will be mapped graphically to reveal whether there was an increase or decrease in call type or in satisfaction levels.  Finally, root-cause analysis reports will be generated to provide CallSource`s business analysts with an understanding of what went wrong, or right, and why.  

 

This approach will enable CallSource to automatically identify their clients` key business issues, prioritize them, and ultimately provide comprehensive, reliable recommendations to the required corrective action.

 

Jerry Feldman, Call Source`s CEO, commented, "We selected NICE`s Interaction Analytics solution over the competition because it was the best solution to meet our business requirements.  It is the most comprehensive and flexible solution that we evaluated, uniquely enabling us to make changes in the system, on-the-fly, based on the different and changing needs of our varied customer base."

 

"We are happy to have been selected by CallSource to help them proactively identify trends, anticipate opportunities, and adjust processes to meet business objectives," said Barak Eilam, NICE`s President of Interaction Analytics.  "With NICE`s Interaction Analytics business solution CallSource will be able to offer value-added services to their clients, by making data-based analyses of customer dynamics for improved business results."

About CallSource
Based in Westlake Village, Calif., privately-held CallSource has provided online call tracking, recording and performance management solutions for a wide range of industries including multifamily, automotive, media, advertising and financial services since 1994.

Customers vote NICE SmartCenter solutions as the industry`s best

 

 

Ra`anana, Israel, June 17, 2008 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions to drive performance, today announced that it has won three of ContactCenterWorld.com`s 2008 Members Choice awards in the Americas, winning in three key categories: Best in Class Contact Center Analytics Solution, Best in Class Workforce Management Solution, and Top Class Recording/Quality Monitoring solution. The awards are unique in that they are based on user votes rather than a judging panel.  The Awards are based entirely on customer feedback and recognize industry solution providers who sell products or services to contact centers.  Winners are those vendors who receive the highest average scores (on a ten-point scale) as voted by their customers.  

 

"We are excited about winning these important industry awards, in the three most critical categories to our contact center customers," said Moshe Egert, President, Enterprise Group, NICE.  "This is further validation of the unique business value our Interaction Analytics solution brings to our customers, and how it along with NICE`s solutions for quality management and workforce management are leading the industry in innovation.  It is especially gratifying because this award is based on customer feedback, clearly reflecting our customers` satisfaction.  We thank our loyal customer base for its consistent support and reiterate our commitment to innovation and outstanding customer satisfaction."

City of Houston Adds NICE Inform for Improved 9-1-1 Emergency Services, Consolidating Fire, Police and Medical Services Communications Management

 

Fourth largest U.S. city deploys NICE solution to capture, manage, and analyze 9-1-1 emergency calls

 

 

Ra`anana, Israel, June 30, 2008 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions(TM) to drive performance, today announced the City of Houston, Texas, has selected NICE Inform for its 9-1-1 Center. The consolidated center for the United States` fourth largest city, the Houston Emergency  Center (HEC) is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The City of Houston recently added NICE Inform and other NICE solutions to its Emergency Center for their unique ability to capture and manage high volumes of critical emergency communications and other vital multimedia incident information.

 

Houston consolidated its three communications centers into a single public safety answering point in 2003 and invested in advanced emergency communications technology, but still employed separate voice-only recording solutions for police, fire and emergency medical services (EMS). With the NICE solutions, including NICE Inform, the three departments will now be able to share a single, partitioned and redundant solution for recording and reviewing emergency communications, which will not only enhance reliability, but reduce the Department`s overhead and technical support requirements as well.

 

"The NICE solutions are the next step in our evolution as a technologically-advanced emergency communications center," said Matt Hyde, Chief Technology Officer for the Houston Emergency Center. "NICE offered us advanced capabilities, and greater reliability, ease-of-use and scalability than we had before. With NICE Inform, we`re also laying the foundation to be able to extend our recording capability beyond voice to include data and video too."

 

"The Houston Emergency Center is one of the most impressive and technologically-advanced emergency communications centers in the United States," said Chris Wooten, President, Security Division Americas, NICE. "We are very proud that the City of Houston has expanded its relationship with NICE by selecting NICE Inform and other NICE solutions for its advanced emergency communication facility."

 

NICE Inform is the world`s first full-spectrum multimedia incident information management solution for the security market. It provides ground-breaking capabilities for effectively managing incident information from various sources, including audio, video, text and data, streamlining information-sharing, investigations and evidence delivery. The capabilities of NICE Inform also enable agencies and command and control centers to move beyond simply capturing voice communications to centrally capturing and managing many different types of multimedia information central to investigations, such as video, mug shots, affidavits and incident reports. The unique comprehensive capabilities of NICE Inform can be tailored to the specific needs of command and control centers for first responders and homeland security, transportation, government, and private sector organizations, and deliver improved collaboration and operational efficiency to enhance safety and security.

 

About the Houston Emergency Communications Center (HEC)

The  Houston Emergency Center (HEC) is the consolidated communications center for the City of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States of America and the largest city within the state of Texas. Approximately 10,000 emergency and non emergency calls per day are processed at HEC. The number of calls into the Houston HEC can easily double during times of inclement weather, as they did during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, or during special City social/sporting events.
