Here is a new resource for people who are interested in tracking all of the new call centers that are opening in the world. This page will keep you up to date on the newest call centers, the location, number of seats, the expected number of seats, the date of the announcement and opening date. In addition there is information on the size of the center in square feet and the company name associated with the center.

What Happens Here Now Gets Out

May 18, 2006

Much to the horror of millions of carefree visitors to this Mecca in the dessert, apparently what happens here no longer stays here. VEGAS.com claimed a big win, increasing their sales by 85 percent with Interactive Intelligence (News - Alert)’s Customer Interaction Center (CIC).

Aculab Ace Progress

May 10, 2006

I have met lots of companies here. A good portion of the communications industry is in attendance from vendors such as Pronexus, Alliance Systems and Touchstone Technologies to companies in the prepaid business you may not be familiar with. There are people from all over the world here. It has been good to catch up with old friends this week. I think I have made a few new ones as well. Looking forward to speaking today.

Joe Sanscrainte

May 2, 2006

For companies who have call centers and were in any way affected by the do not call list, you may be familiar with a company called Call Compliance and its former general counsel and director of regulatory affairs, Joe Sanscrainte. Joe is one of the true thought leaders in the do not call regulatory market.

Joe has now joined international law firm Bryan Cave LLP in its New York office and should be a tremendous asset. Aside from do not call, Joe is also expert in the inbound side of the call center business and is intimately familiar with the potentially new legislation that will affect call centers. For example there is talk that politicians will force call centers to connect callers to a live agent if they press one.

TMCnet breaks One Million Unique Visitors

May 1, 2006

I just landed and checked e-mail and one of the first messages I saw is that TMCnet broke one million filtered unique visitors in the month of April 2006.

I was really hoping April would be the month we reached this goal.

I have to thank you once again for visiting TMCnet and helping us achieve this goal. By the way the official number is 1,053,840.

We have two more goals. One is Alexa of 1,000 -- which would put TMCnet in the top 1,000 sites in the entire world. We are currently ranked 1,387 so we are close.





940,000 Unique Visitors

April 27, 2006

940,000 unique visitors with four days left to go!   I got this message today from my web team just now. As you may recall we are hoping TMCnet will break one million unique visitors in a month as measured by WebTrends. Thanks again for being a visitor to TMCnet, our blogs, news sites, etc. We are very excited about hitting this new goal. If you think our site is useful, please tell you friends and colleagues about us.

Speaking at the ATA next week

April 18, 2006

Yes I am on my way to Louisville, Kentucky to speak on VoIP to a group of hundreds of resellers and next week I get the privilege of addressing a different group altogether – contact center executives. What I like about seeing and meeting with such disparate groups is that I see the different perspectives of the market. I also thoroughly enjoy talking with service providers like I did recently at the Voice Peering Forum in Miami recently.   If anything, addressing different groups keeps me on my toes and the content as fresh as can be. I am always tweaking and trying to find the absolutely most relevant yopics for my presentations.   Here is a release that will hit the wires soon:   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   For More Information, Contact:                                                                                    Kristyn Emenecker                                                                   Co-President, ATA NY Metro Chapter                                                Mercom Systems, Inc.                                                              (201) 507-8800 x.
