VeCommerce announces four major international and national customer contracts
Announcement posted by VeCommerce 29 Apr 2004
Delivers revenues of $2 million over next twelve months
VeCommerce Limited (ASX:VCM), a global leader in the provision of natural language speech recognition (NLSR), speaker verification and voice enabled e-commerce solutions, has announced a number of new sales.
The company has had further international success with its voice enabled wagering solution, VeBet, with Youbet.com joining the VeCommerce customer stable. Youbet is the largest internet provider of thoroughbred, quarter horse and harness racing content in the United States and will offer VeBet to its account holders.
VeCommerce has now sold VeBet to 15 leading wagering organisations in 5 countries around the world. Today, the organisation has over 30 major organisations globally using its various NLSR solutions to deliver greater service to their customers while enjoying operational efficiencies.
BOC in Australia, a member of The BOC Group, an international leader in the provision of gas and related services, solutions and applications technology, vacuum technology and health care, has awarded VeCommerce a contract to develop a voice enabled self-service solution for its retail partner network.
The new solution, scheduled to go live by Q4 this calendar year, will allow BOCs retail network of partners across metropolitan and regional Australia to review their customers account status and process sales transactions. Where applicable, BOC will implement VeCommerces VePay solution to enable customer order payments using a credit card, simply by speaking directly to BOCs computer systems.
Within the financial services industry, Computershare has, this week, introduced a VeCommerce voice-enabled enhancement to its shareholder inquiry system that will provide a more user friendly service to its callers by allowing them to check their holdings, listen to the share price or hear dividend history simply by talking directly to Computershares host.
In New Zealand, VeCommerce has been awarded an extension to the Inland Revenue project. This new phase allows callers to request a Personal Tax Summary and confirm that the details of a Personal Tax Summary are correct.
Paul Magee, VeCommerce Managing Director, said, VeCommerce continues to prove that the market for voice enabled self-service solutions is growing and that our suite of field hardened application modules and our mature application development expertise continues to attract ongoing global interest and resulting sales while laying the foundations for future opportunities. These deals are expected to generate revenues in the order of $2 million over the coming twelve months.
With over 30 major organisations around the world as clients, VeCommerce is the leading supplier of voice enabled e-commerce solutions in its chosen markets, and has continued to strengthen relationships with its key suppliers and partners including Alcatel, Damovo, Genesys, NEC, Nuance and ScanSoft.
