For that reason, we decided to look for a partner who could take us to the next level in services and etalk became the obvious option with its perfect combination of technology, cost, flexibility and support."
The new etalk solutions being incorporated by Contact Center Americas are:
o Qfiniti Observe (recording): records all calls for compliance management, providing a powerful suite of monitoring options which include transaction-based recording of voice and desktop activity, and innovative coaching features.
