Reliance BPO Selects IEX, a NICE Company, to Supply Workforce Management Solution

Win comes in partnership with Avaya; fast growing India outsourcer selects IEX® TotalView® Workforce management system over competing solutions for implementation of up to 10,000 agents

Ra’anana, Israel, and Richardson, Texas, January 8 2007 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) , the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions™ to drive performance, today announced one of India’s fastest growing outsourcers, Reliance Infostreams Pvt. Ltd., branded as Reliance BPO, has selected the IEX® TotalView® Workforce Management system from NICE subsidiary, IEX Corporation. IEX TotalView was selected to help Reliance BPO enhance the performance and streamline management of up to 10,000 contact center agents. IEX TotalView was purchased through NICE channel partner, Avaya Global Connect Ltd., after extensive field trials of competing workforce management systems.

The selection by Reliance comes on the heels of the decision recently announced by NICE and Avaya to extend the companies’ long-term distribution agreement to include TotalView from IEX.

“We continuously endeavor to enhance our revenue streams and bottom-line by redefining the benchmarks of customer experience and loyalty. Being the interface with our customers, our employees are the key to our success enabling us to reduce costs by improved efficiency,” said K Chandra, president of Reliance BPO. “Partnering with IEX for a complete, automated workforce management solution will enable us to enhance our deliverables substantially.”

Albert Hainston, head of workforce management and MIS for Reliance BPO added, “The profitability of a contact center is a function of effective workforce utilization, the largest component of direct costs. We believe the IEX solution’s superior multiskill simulation and scheduling capabilities, multisite management functionality and Real-Time Adherence feature will enable us to deliver superior value to our customers while increasing business productivity.”

Reliance BPO will benefit from the TotalView solution’s ability to improve the contact center’s scheduling and agent management processes. Reliance BPO will use the solution’s patented simulation capabilities to realize the full potential of skills-based routing and multiskill agent efficiencies. The company will also gain unmatched flexibility in determining how and where planning and management is handled within the enterprise. In addition, Reliance BPO will eliminate paper-based time off management processes and facilitate the information exchange between other critical systems such as the payroll system and TotalView.

“We’re delighted that Reliance BPO has joined the growing number of IEX customers in India, and how quickly our new distribution relationship with NICE partner Avaya has translated into business,” said Debbie May, president of IEX, which has been named the India Workforce Management Software Market Leader by Frost & Sullivan for the second consecutive year. “Reliance BPO’s decision to purchase TotalView is a testament to our ability to meet the unique staff planning requirements of contact centers around the world.”

Reliance BPO will also benefit from the TotalView solution’s capability to support a number of scheduling scenarios designed to meet the unique needs of the India market: Team Scheduling and Seat Limit Scheduling. Team Scheduling will enable them to establish flexible start and end times for each shift. Seat Limit Scheduling will enable Reliance BPO to establish minimum and maximum seating parameters. This will prevent the center from scheduling more agents than there are seats available, and will enable the organization to establish minimum staffing levels for periods of low contact volume.
