Customer interaction in the current business world is often dependent on the telephone. In many instances, transactions are regularly closed without any hard copy to fall back on. To safeguard both the customer and the business in the case of problems or queries, companies need reliable, affordable, user-friendly voice recording equipment to make these verbal transactions legal.
"The problem many companies faced with this state of affairs, until now, was that the cost of installing voice recording equipment was in the price range that could only be justified by larger corporations," says Ian Goss-Ross, GM of InterAxion, a company in the JSE-listed Ixchange group. "The InterAxion Voice Logger has been developed to serve the needs of those small businesses and workgroups where the use of the telephone is critical to the business."
The InterAxion Voice Logger enables call centres to record two-way conversations with ease. It operates on Windows NT and the playback of conversations is done via any multimedia Windows-based PC on the network.
"Recorded conversations and transactions obviously require the highest level of security to protect customer privacy as well as the company`s legal records. InterAxion`s Voice Logger`s login security assures customers that only authorised personnel have access to the records stored on server hard drives or backup media," states Goss-Ross.
"InterAxion Voice Logger caters for all mid-sized call centres with simultaneous recording, retrieval and playback of conversations on single or multiple units available with no reduction in quality. It is designed to integrate with common Front Office applications, and is simple to install on any LAN or PABX," Goss-Ross adds.
Recording conversations is not only useful for companies concluding transactions over the phone, but also for functions such as order verification, quality assurance and even training call centre staff.
