Intelestream CRM, Enterprise Voice, World Telecom Report, 911 Enable, ESET Cyber Crime

June 28, 2010

Intelestream recently issued a good white paper on ten considerations when purchasing a CRM system. Naturally there are more than that, but these ten, some of which are summarized here, give you a good head start on the process. Call them the Ten CRM Commandments, if you will. Before you buy your CRM, make sure that your company's decision makers, top executives, and stakeholders understand and embrace CRM as a business strategy. Just as important as embracing your CRM application as a business strategy, is calculating your CRM's return-on-investment. Make no mistake: CRM is costly. Calculating exactly how much you need upfront, for maintenance and for growth are key factors. Read more here. ... Synergy Research Group has recently published the Q1 2010 Enterprise Voice market shares, finding that the worldwide market for Enterprise Voice totaled $2.4 billion in Q1 2010.

NICE Blog, NetSuite CRM, IVR's Angel, Neustar, Lambeth Service Center

June 28, 2010

"Optimizing your Customer Dynamics," according to a recent blog post from the NICE blog, "gives you the ability to not only serve your customers via the communication channel preferred by them in a cost-effective manner, but to act upon the voice of the customer to improve business performance."  Tapping into the VoC, the blog notes, requires "the capacity to collectively analyze content from all sources of customer contacts, including telephone calls, emails, surveys, and web-based chats, or, in short, from cross-channel interaction analytics." The key is to transform the wealth of unstructured customer interaction data into a strategically useful form via speech and text mining algorithms, NICE officials say, "which will fuel drastic improvements in business performance and customer experience."

Kardia Health Systems had a challenge: They wanted to maximize their performance management, and the healthcare startup also needed to integrate accounting with forecasting and planning functions while improving customer support by integrating support with sales and billing information. Oh, and on top of that, reduce IT costs and increase functionality over existing fragmented systems. With fries, please. So after looking around at their options, they replaced the Microsoft Dynamics (Great Plains) with NetSuite's cloud-based CRM software. Among the reasons given by Kardia officials were that the NetSuite dashboards give managers visibility into complete company operations workflow speeds financial information gathering to optimize adaptive planning. Great. So how did it work out? Read more here. ... IVR vendor Angel.com has announced the success of its customer experience lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's School of Engineering, according to a recent report by TMCnet's Anshu Shrivastava.

DruTelecom, AT&T Quality, Plantronics, SlingPlayer Mobile, HyperStratus

June 28, 2010

So nice to hear success stories, companies who've done well with their projects.

Dario Martini, CEO of Drulana Limited, or "DruTelecom," recently reported that "Mediacore Softswitch was implemented by our company about two months ago. We purchased Mediacore Softswitch in full packaging arrangement: softswitch, billing, transcoding, monitoring system of the VoIP connection quality Guardian." Mediacore, Martini said, is "the first softswitch for wholesale traffic we've owned. Of course, we studied the market of VoIP softswitches before we made our choice."

According to DruTelecom officials, the main Mediacore feature that had an effect on their decision-making was "this system's simplicity of use. Mediacore is efficient and multifunctional, an ideal modern instrument for VoIP operators, and at the same time it is supportive of users."

Martini explained that when he complimented Mediacore's being supportive of users, he meant, "the user-friendly interface, the tunability." In explaining "tunability," he noted that while most routines can be automated, what he called "the great number of useful and informative reports," in many cases system operative algorithms "can be more effective than manual control.

Industry observer Sharon Gaudin says the Google Maps update, dubbed Send to Sync, "is designed to enable people to send Google maps and directions from their computers or smart phones directly to their vehicles."

Google Maps is expected to be available by July 1 on all 2010 and 2011 models equipped with Sync.

Ford, according to Dignan, thinks a technology stack inside its vehicles is "a way to set the automaker apart from its rivals. Microsoft's Sync platform is the base layer and Ford handles the integration with the hardware and safety and middleware."

In a recent white paper from customer support software provider Parature, customer service guru Shep Hyken identifies what he sees as ten ways to provide great customer service. Here's a quick re-cap:

Customer Service is Common Sense: Let's say that you are taking your car in for some maintenance work. Would it be unreasonable to expect such things as prompt appointments, a nice greeting you when you come in and the garage knowing your car's service history? In other words, common sense.

We're currently the third largest provider of data center services, we've got offices in New York, Richmond, Miami, Atlanta, Santa Clara, and we've got some cities in the Midwest - Indianapolis and Wichita." The company has twelve centers in eight states overall, and "we're busy expanding," he said. "We've just received $175 million of equity capital from General Atlantic, a large global growth fund headquartered in New York and Greenwich, Connecticut. So we've got plenty of money and a lot of new centers." Tehrani observed that as cloud computing's positioned to take off, the company seems to be positioned well.

"We have distributed platforms across the country," he said, "and we're getting tremendous play on the server side, and amazing take on the storage side, with folks placing their storage requirements on our platform, either locally within our data center in a hybrid environment, which is unique because we're both the cloud provider and the co-location provider, as well as being in Florida in the hurricane zone." Chesal pronounced himself "pleasantly surprised" with the take rate as well. Read more here. ...

iPhone in Japan, Spectrum Corp., BP Call Centers, RadiSys, Gomez and Sorenson

June 28, 2010

The "gotta have it first" geeks are at it again. Call it a reunion of the introduction of the iPad, or the last Star Wars movie line. In Japan, PCWorld reported, "hundreds of people queued to place reservations for the new Apple cell phone." The iPhone 4 won't go on sale until June 24, but that isn't stopping these guys from camping out -- and yes, somehow you just know it's a guy thing. Not even incompetence can deter people from the latest shiny thing from Apple. "Despite a disastrous preorder process Tuesday morning," as CNET notes, "enough people were able to place iPhone 4 orders that much of Apple's initial U.S. supply has already been accounted for."

Redcom's Summer, Spacenet's Douglas, Chinese Internet, Exchange 2010, Sorenson Media

June 21, 2010

In April Forbes printed an interesting article about a major problem surprisingly few people have heard of - the possibility that China's intentionally hijacking the world's Internet traffic. As Forbes columnist Trevor Butterworth explained it, "On March 24 Mauricio Vergara Ereche, a DNS administrator in Chile, noticed something distinctly odd in the routing of requests for Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and up to 30 other sites. Instead of retrieving the authoritative '.com' site, the Web users retrieved IP numbers located in China, which turned out to be completely different sites or error messages. It didn't happen with every request, but it did happen with three requests originating from Chile and one from California that were routed through a server in Sweden." As Butterworth said, "Suddenly four people had been transported into China's rigidly controlled Internet, although by whom and whether by design is unclear." Read more here. ... According to a recent survey by analyst firm Osterman Research, nearly 65 percent of IT decision makers are likely to consider deploying Exchange 2010 within the next six months. But for most IT professionals, going from "determining a need" to "implementing something" on any IT project usually has the same sticking point: migration. For many, according to a recent white paper from Intermedia, migrations are daunting processes that require long nights and weekends at the office and endless hours of testing and validating data: "IT professionals know that email systems are complex, layered applications and users' important data can easily be altered, tangled or completely left behind in a migration." Performing complex migrations efficiently and effectively with little-to-no end-user impact requires experience, the paper noted: "Many professionals question how they will migrate their company's entire environment -- without hassles, failures, lost data or anxious end-users." Plus, on top of this major concern, IT professionals want to learn what they gain with respect to return on investment, SLAs, architecture and experience. Read more here. ... You were hoping the format war was over? Sorry - according to officials of Sorenson Media, the format war is still going on. "The majority of Web video today is in the Flash format," they noted, adding that "Flash can use a few codecs to work including  H.264.

Singapore Fiber, Nintendo 3D, Twitter Location, Facebook Credits, Web Lawyers

June 21, 2010

Singapore could soon get complete fiber optic infrastructure 'so fast that it would enable the contents of a DVD to be downloaded in only a few seconds.'

The New York Times is reporting that telecom analysts Pyramid Research 'expects the revenue of Singapore telecommunication operators to rise to $5.1 billion by 2014 from $3.8 billion in 2009.' The new network is stimulated by an investment of about $700 million from the government, the Times said, adding that Japan and Hong Kong 'have been leading the way,' in government investment in such networks, with 'private companies already offering speeds as high as one gigabit per second, or 1,000 megabits per second -- many times as fast as the 35 megabits per second required for streaming high-definition video.'

Yes it all sounds wonderful, but its benefits still aren't crystal-clear to all. 'Nobody's sure what's going to happen,' said Neil Montefiore, CEO of StarHub, which offers mobile, Internet and cable television services, speaking to attendees on the opening day of Singapore's CommunicAsia telecommunications exhibition, as reported by industry observer Sumner Lemon. Read more here. ... Now this is good news - getting to play 3-D video games without those dorky-looking special glasses. Agence France-Presse is reporting that Nintendo has unveiled DS handheld videogame system "that lets people play in 3-D without using special glasses." They quote Nintendo chief executive Satoru Iwata saying 'I can't wait for you to try this,' as they report "he held a 3DS above his head at a press conference in the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on the opening day of the Electronic Entertainment Expo." Industry observer Nigel Kendall got to take it for a test drive, and notes that after a quick ten-minute session backstage at E3, "I have to say I was impressed." The 3.5 inch screen "has remarkable definition, and the 3D effect is subtly different from that found on TV sets," he says: "The depth of the picture seems to lie inside the screen, rather than jumping out of it, but the effect on distances and the feeling of reality is remarkable." Read more here. ... Oh joy. More ways for Twitter to insinuate itself into our national consciousness. Industry observer Mikael Ricknas is reporting that Twitter 'has announced the addition of Places on twitter.com andmobile.twitter.com, letting users tag their messages with their location, the company said in a blog post on Monday.' Get ready, folks: Twitter is rolling out Places to users in 65 countries around the world, according to the blog post., as Ricknas say: 'Users should keep an eye out for the 'Add your location' link.' We're wondering if that might not be overload. InformationWeek notes that this week Twitter 'combated site availability issues 'resulting from the failed enhancement of a new approach to timeline caching',' and that users also 'reported incorrect tweet counts and bursts of elevated errors.' Read more here. ... Boy, invent a new currency and people are going to complain. It's not exactly a new form of money, the last one of those was airlines' "miles," but as The Wall Street Journal reports, Facebook "has been rolling out its own currency, to be used by members to buy virtual goods in games and other applications." Who can't like that?



EMEA Network Report, Cloud Explained, Twitter and Facebook on Bing, Alcatel-Lucent, Service Provider Networks

June 21, 2010

Market research firm Infonetics Research has released the 2010 edition of its Optical Network Hardware in EMEA: Europe, Middle East, and Africa report. "While Alcatel-Lucent is the market share leader for the overall EMEA region, Huawei is the leader in every sub-region except Western Europe," the report's authors say, adding that Huawei is "especially well positioned in the fastest growing sub-region, Central and Eastern Europe." Andrew SchmittInfonetics Research's directing analyst for optical, said that Infonetics forecasts a 12 percent revenue gain for the EMEA optical network hardware market in 2010 over 2009, "led by incumbent telco investment." And over the long term, growth in the EMEA optical network hardware market will be driven by a spending recovery in Western Europe, access network deployments in the Middle East, strong growth in metro WDM for wireless backhaul in Central and Eastern Europe and a shift toward WDM and away from SDH in Africa.

The cloud is "a set of services and technologies that enable the delivery of computing services over the Internet in real-time, allowing end-users instant access to data and applications from any device with Internet access," according to a summary on Novell. Basically what that means is that the actual computers you're accessing your information from aren't located in your building, but the ones you're connected to via the Internet. Read more here. ... Microsoft's search engine, Bing, will now "pull up the latest updates from Facebook and Twitter on your search terms," according to industry observer Lance Whitney. Tech News Daily cites Bing Senior Vice President Yusuf Mehdi as saying Bing Social "is the first search experience integrating the full Facebook firehose with non-pages content." Mehdi "talked about the value of recommendations from friends and contacts on consumer decision-making," Tech News Daily reported: "Bing search will now include social data from both Twitter and Facebook on its homepage and on search results pages." The Register notes that it's "unclear how much Microsoft will be paying for the privilege of switching on Facebook's stream of Web2.0rhea. The software maker has of course already sunk $240 million into Zuckerberg's stalker empire, which gave Steve Ballmer's firm a mere 1.6 percent of preferred Facebook stock." Read more here. ...  A recent piece written for Alcatel-Lucent by Willem Verbiest discusses multiscreen's "multiple opportunities," kicking off with the observation that "consumer demand for multimedia is exploding. It is no longer confined to the home TV and has become pervasive across devices in both fixed and mobile telecom networks." In fact, Verbiest says, "research suggests that by 2014 video will become the dominant source of global telecom traffic." Naturally this leads to the desire for constant content anywhere and on any screen.

InContact IVR, Star2Billing, Cloud Computing Concerns, Revitalizing CRM, Skype Banned

Hosted call center solutions provider inContact has released an 'eBook' including a list of five IVR best practices, which they describe as "methods have been developed by call center experts with years of experience in the call center space." Here's a quick summary of the main points: The IVR Road Map: One Internet service provider had big plans for their IVR. Instead of tackling everything at once, they prioritized what things could help them the most and tackled them one at a time. They started by implementing a simple IVR process that informed customers when there was an outage in their zip code. With that little piece of functionality, callers could quickly determine whether they simply needed to wait for a regional issue to be resolved or had a service issue that needed to be proactively addressed. Keep it Simple: One inbound sales contact center tried to put their entire product inventory in their IVR system.

Netronome's Proch, Network Instruments, Anue Systems, Lancope, Aprius' Thompson

June 21, 2010

  At the Interop 2010 show in Las Vegas, TMC's CEO Rich Tehrani had a chance to interview Steve Brown, Product Manager at Network Instruments. As the name might suggest, the company makes products that help with network testing, and otherwise deal with network or application issues, Brown says, including performance issues. Network Instruments' approach is to monitor networks, and alert its owners before any serious issues crop up, Brown said, especially before it might impact the end user; "For example, if you notice that e-mail is down, ideally you would notice that before the end user would be impacted, and with the same tool, be able to solve that issue." Brown also made a news announcement at the show, revealing that as part of their observer platform, the performance management platform, "we've announced a dashboard-level view designed to provide that view of your critical applications, and in particular cloud-based applications." He gave examples of "things like Salesforce, or understanding what the performance of any other cloud-based application might be." Read more here. ...

Located in Austin, Texas, Anue (pronounced uh-NOO-ee) sells visibility tools, products "that help companies have visibility into their networks," Delfeld said. "In particular, we help companies monitor their data centers." Tehrani asked what sort of information a client could get using Anue's systems. "We don't actually have the monitoring tool," Delfeld explained, "we help you use it more effectively. Typically, the problems our customers come to us with, the problems they have, there are typically a couple big ones." First, he said, in their data center, they have all these different tools - security tools, data performance tools, "and to get coverage, they have to have these tools in many locations.

XLine Telecom, Hosting VoIP, Phybridge UniPhyer, Intermedia and Microsoft, Indian Telecom

June 21, 2010

Gretta Gabrielyan, CEO of XLine Telecom notes how her company's recent decision to go with Speedflow worked out. XLine Telecom was incorporated in 2008. Their main sphere of activity can be described as "VoIP traffic transit." They needed help with increasing their traffic volume, Gabrielyan said, and in that hope turned to Speedflow products. "At the beginning of 2010, due to our business receiving a boost ,a new software platform was required which would meet our needs," Gabrielyan said. "We researched all of the products for VoIP business on the market. High efficiency and the possibility of further enhancement were the key points in our choice of softswitch Mediacore."

Day by day, she said, while they were interacting with Speedflow staff, "we were feeling more assured that we made the right decision.

The company's been around for 25 years or so, you might remember their product, the first automatic defragmenter for Windows. This reporter sure does.

Toumayan said that the company's helped Microsoft develop the API hooks that even allow defragmentation to take place at all. She said that Diskeeper "actually, really revolutionized the market. We've been the first to market with many new technologies in the defrag space, and now we have a new technology called IntelliWrite, which can actually prevent up to 85 percent of fragmentation from happening."

Intuit's Outage, Customer Service Mistakes, IPswitch WhatsUp, Spitfire Predictive Dialers, Redcom

June 21, 2010

It's the great untold dirty secret of SaaS - you're not in control of your application's uptime. The Wall Street Journal reported that Intuit officials were "trying to restore service to company websites affected by an outage that began Tuesday night." Consumers and small businesses were left without access to online versions of the company's accounting and tax software, the Journal adds, noting that "Intuit's products include TurboTax, Quicken and the QuickBooks accounting program used by many small businesses. The online services associated with those products remained offline Wednesday afternoon." Would this be a problem? Oh yes. The Journal reproduced some of the comments left on the Intuit online support forum: "Listen, if I am not able to process my credit cards before noon tomorrow, checks are going to bounce in my account." "I cannot write checks of any type." Read more here. ... Customer support software provider Parature has written an interesting white paper on five big mistakes customer service teams make - and how to avoid them.

Dialogic's Davies, ContactBabel, SBN Peripherals, Evoca, Monitor 24/7

June 21, 2010

Dialogic's Video Marketing Manager Martyn Davies recently sat down for an interview with TMC's Marisa Torrieri. She started off by asking him for some idea of the scope of mobile video. "It's a huge area," Davies said, "covering handset functionality, network capability and over-the-top services." As he explained, in handsets, "you often have the ability to play and record and store video," especially on high-end phones like Nokia and Apple, and sometimes edit video. In 3G networks you have the ability to do video calling, that is, "connecting a video call between two handsets, or handset to a video gateway."   Davies said over-the-top services is where a video stream is sent from some kind of video server over an IP transport, and gets displayed on the handset, normally in a browser using something like Flash or Real Player: "We call that over-the-top because the video data arrives via 3G data or Wi-Fi, and it's outside control of the operator." Sometimes the operators provide their own over-the-top services, like TV channels, and in the jargon they call this "on-deck," meaning that the service is within the operator's own network and platform.
 
Torrieri observed that in that case, video applies to standard feature phones as well as smartphones. Read more here. ... A recent survey of call center supervisors and managers by UK analyst firm ContactBabel had participants rate "the most important and effective ways to improve the customer service levels their call center agents provide."

Would it totally shock you to learn that call recording and call monitoring came in at #1 and #2? We didn't think so.

Call center supervisors said the ability to record calls is "their most effective tool in improving customer service." Call recording "gets more sophisticated every day," the study noted, adding that there are more features and functionality the call center technology offers its supervisors, such as the ability to record calls based on varying criteria, so "the more efficient resolving customer issues becomes."

When supervisors are able to track agents' calls by varying criteria, the study found, their ability to review and enhance agent-customer interactions "improves multifold." Likewise, training sessions become "more effective because the interactions used are real-world examples captured by the call center application."

Even compliance standards and regulations improve, because calls can be archived and retrieved more efficiently: "All these improvements combined with agile training methods have a direct effect on key call center metrics such as AHT, ASA, and first-call resolutions." Read more here. ... FTC attorneys in Chicago recently got a federal court order to shut down robocaller SBN Peripherals, based near Los Angeles, for allegedly "making over 370 million calls to consumers nationwide in the last year alone." Philly.com wrote that "one phone service provider told the FTC that on a single day in April 2009, SBN sent 2.4 million calls to consumers -- more than 27 calls per second." That's some serious robocalling, folks, and it's an eloquent argument for why it happens so much - it's that profitable.
