Aargon Collection Agency Standardizes on Envox 6 to Create VoIP Contact Center Solution


Solution Based on Envox Worldwide's Award-Winning Communications Development Platform Features Multi-Site IP PBX, IVR, Predictive Dialer and Agent Desktop Applications

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., March 14 -- Envox Worldwide, a leading global provider of voice solutions, today announced that Envox 6, the company's award-winning open, standards-based communications development platform, has been selected by Aargon Collection Agency to create interactive voice response (IVR) and call center management solutions which will enable them to better serve their electric, gas and water utility customers.

Aargon provides clients with comprehensive collections services designed to bring their clients the highest possible return on their outstanding receivables. To improve the caller experience and reduce the costs of their phone-based business, they required a new call center solution that would:o Integrate their four existing call centers into one virtual call centero Enable them to use a VoIP network to reduce phone chargeso Minimize call wait time and expand service hourso Maximize agent productivityo Provide self-service options for callerso Handle both inbound calls and outbound dialing campaigns

After an extensive review of their options, the Aargon Collection Agency decided to create a complete VoIP-based call center using the Envox 6 Communications Development Platform. Their solution included a software-based PBX, IVR, predictive dialer, routing and agent desktop application. The company leveraged Envox Studio, Envox 6's rapid development environment, to quickly create this functionality.

"We're very pleased that the Aargon Collection Agency has standardized on Envox 6," said Mark D. Flanagan, president and chief executive officer of Envox Worldwide. "They are taking advantage of our platform's rapid application development environment and VoIP capabilities to power their virtual call center. This will enable them to continue to deliver superior customer service while significantly reducing their operating costs."
