NEW DELHI: Quality of service and agent productivity is of crucial concern
for call centers in today's scenario. Keeping these factors in mind Siemens
Information Systems Ltd. (SISL) has launched voice logger "TeleMaster"
for call centers. It enables a call center to keep effective record of calls
made or received.
Ajoy Dasgupta, deputy general manager, telecom, SISL, said, "The call
center market is very competitive, where only the best can survive. With this
voice logger, call centers will be able to constantly improve productivity,
reward and retain good performers and enhance customer service."
SISL is targeting large call centers in India and abroad. The product's price
ranges from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 2 lakh. The company will market the product from its
Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Delhi office and the product will be available on
order basis.
TeleMaster has an automatic recording functionality that starts recording as
soon as the customer or the agent answers the call. This recording will be
terminated only after the call is completed. It also records on demand via
network interface. This is a simple way for agents in a call center to control
the recording sessions themselves. By clicking on a small icon on their Windows
2000 desktop, agents can start and stop individual recordings based on their
access rights.
This voice logger provides an easy to use interface through which the
recorded files can easily be retrieved using any PC having multi media
capabilities. There are various controls which provide basic multi media
functionalities like rewind, fast forward, playing a selected portion of the
file or playing the file/a particular portion in loop.
It can be integrated with any PABX. All the extensions have a parallel
connection landing on the voice logger, which enables it to record the
conversation. Voice logger tool is available only on analog platform and also
has a watchdog feature, which maintains the smooth functioning of the system. If
at any time the system behaves inconsistently, the watchdog takes preventive
measures. Depending upon the severity of the problem, either it will send
message to the administrator (e-mail) with/without visual warning or will
re-start the problematic process or will re-start the system. All the above
options are configurable by the administrator. Also, recording of conversations
can be carried out on multiple channels simultaneously.
Besides this, it has other features that include record conversation in
digital format, graphical Windows interface, mouse-click controls, recording
frequency according to agent's tenure or skill level, GUI to start and stop the
recording and search and playback controls. It also has the capability that
maximizes and enhances voice recording and playback.
