NICE and Avaya Selected by Leading Indian Outsourcer Allsec to Improve Outbound Services’ Collections and Closing Rates

The NICE solution suite was chosen to help the outsourcer better serve its clients and their customers

Ra’anana, Israel, May 16, 2005 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) , the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract insight from interactions, today announced that it has received a significant order from Allsec, one of India’s largest business process outsourcers (BPO), to implement its industry leading solution for contact centers. Allsec will apply NICE’s contact center interactions solutions for improved analysis of customer interactions, agent quality monitoring and reporting. The project will be implemented in partnership with NICE partner Avaya GlobalConnect, India's leading enterprise communication solutions provider.

Allsec, one of the largest outsourcers in India, serves top US customers, including Ford Motor and CompuCredit. The Chennai, voice-based BPO firm is planning to list its shares through an initial public offering to fund its expansion program and proposed acquisitions. As part of the expansion program Allsec has chosen NICE in its effort to achieve the highest levels of customer service and retention.

The implementation will focus on Allsec’s outbound services. By applying NICE’s solution for analysis and quality monitoring of customer interactions, with a targeted program, Allsec will be able to have focused, as opposed to random, monitoring. These capabilities give contact center supervisors the power to proactively identify which agent behaviors, such as negotiation skills, lead to higher closing rates or higher sales-per-hour.

Additional benefits NICE offers Allsec include capabilities for managing customer interactions with many different clients, while maintaining strict adherence to confidentiality and protecting proprietary and competitive information. Moreover, the advanced capabilities of the NICE solution will enhance agent training programs by decreasing the time required to train employees. In this way the NICE solution will assist in improving internal processes and overall efficiency, as well as the caller experience by promoting premier customer service.

"We have been working with NICE for several years and since we began our relationship, we have been able to leverage NICE’s market-leading solutions for contact centers along with our leading communications networks and services to advance our leadership in the rapidly growing contact center outsourcing market in India,” said Amit Mehta, National Marketing Manager-Call Center Solutions at Avaya Global Connect Ltd. “We are pleased by this latest win with Allsec, which is further validation that the Avaya-NICE partnership is a winning combination that successfully drives customer loyalty, revenues, and profitability for our mutual customers."

"We are extremely pleased that Allsec has chosen NICE along with Avaya to improve the performance of its contact center,” said Doron Ben-Sira, President of NICE Asia Pacific. “This win clearly supports our leadership position with India’s contact center outsourcers. Together with Avaya we are enabling our joint customers to differentiate themselves with tools that provide exceptional customer service and added value to their customers.”
