Leader in help desk solutions for mid-range organisations, FrontRange Solutions` HEAT division, and Eclipse Networks, a leading Business Service Provider, have announced that SimpleCT has been selected to drive the Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) for award-winning HEAT help desk software.
As part of the HEAT division`s Independent Software Vendor Programme, SimpleCT CTI middleware was selected to allow HEAT help desk administrators improve customer service performance. With SimpleCT, increases are seen in the overall number of calls handled per day, plus a reduction to network costs - attributable to extensive hold time and call length. Additional Help Desk improvements realized through effective CTI implementation include enhanced technician productivity, as well as the elimination of redundancies in technician`s requests for caller information. "HEAT software is an industry standard in Help Desk and service and support management," said Edwin Gear, HEAT Division president. "This seamless integration will offer our customers the means to easily streamline these processes and realize immediate bottom-line support savings."
SimpleCT combines telephone and computer systems to form CTI-enabled service and support platforms that enable businesses to "supercharge" service and support applications and provide improved customer service and increased productivity. With SimpleCT, CTI functionality is added to Help Desk products, or embedded directly into underlying applications, resulting in seamless integration.
