Mitel Contact Center Solution Receives Top Marks for Customer Service from TMC Labs

Announcement posted by Mitel 14 Sep 2005

Reaffirming its 30 year tradition as an industry innovator, Mitel today announced it has been awarded the prestigious Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) 2005 Innovation Award for the Mitel Contact Center Solution.
Gwilym Funnell, Mitel Australia Country Manager commented, Mitels contact centre solutions make it easier for any business to deliver top-notch customer service to their clients. By combining IP Telephony with simple to use software, agents can work from home via a broadband Internet connection. This flexibility allows a business to deliver better services without needing to invest in a dedicated centralised contact centre.
TMC Labs Innovation Awards are bestowed based on the quality and uniqueness of a particular product or service in the field of customer interaction solutions. The panel of judges evaluates products that demonstrate leadership by providing users with innovative features and functionality, continuing to improve the customer experience, and delivering a clear return on investment back to the organization.
"The Innovation Awards recognize the most unique and the most innovative products and services in the CRM or call/contact center industries, said Tom Keating, CTO and Editorial Director at TMC. Mitel has continued to demonstrate its commitment to develop innovative contact center technology that differentiates the company from its competitors in the VoIP space.
Mitels Contact Center Solution is the first of many Mitel solutions to integrate into Microsofts Live Communications Server (LCS). It combines robust communications platforms, automatic call distribution (ACD), and a modular suite of feature-rich, web-based applications for streamlining contact center management and enabling advanced multimedia customer transactions.
For many years Mitel has been perceived as an innovator and this continues to be the case with the recognition provided by the 2005 TMC Innovation Awards, said Paul Butcher, President and COO, Mitel. Our significant investment in R&D and in developing best-of-breed partnerships ensures that our portfolio of IP Communications solutions matches the current and future needs of our customers.
