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."

NICE Selected for City of Baltimore Anti-Terrorism Project by Leading Homeland Security System Integrator, M.C. Dean Inc.
Ra`anana, Israel, May 17, 2005 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract insight from interactions today announced that it has been selected by M.C. Dean, Inc., one of the nation`s leading electronic systems integrators, to provide its digital video solutions for the Baltimore Region Anti-Terrorism CCTV Installation, Operation, and Service project. The network is part of a comprehensive strategy in the Baltimore area to improve regional cooperation on terrorism concerns.
The City of Baltimore will apply NICE`s capabilities to enhance the CCTV security provision at public areas, including rail lines, government buildings and cultural institutions. The solution will allow Baltimore`s command and control centers to extract security insight from video interactions by simultaneously monitoring multiple sites, with smart monitoring capabilities and automatic alarm management.
NICE`s solution, with advanced transmission, recording and content analysis capabilities will deliver real-time alerts on potential threats to security personnel. The moments leading up to an alert will be automatically replayed allowing staff to intuitively investigate an incident, understand its context and cause and, more importantly, decide what action to take. Such proactive management and assessment of alarms and the correlating potential risk will enable Baltimore`s security personnel to anticipate security breaches and improve response time. The result is enhanced safety and security for the region`s residents.
"NICE provided us with a total solution that incorporates not only the required camera controls and recording capabilities, but also a content analysis feature that allows us to monitor and manage multiple cameras more efficiently by distinguishing between activities of interest and normal events," said Rhett Wade, General Manager of M.C. Dean, Inc.`s Security and Electronics Division.
M.C. Dean, Inc. is currently integrating NICE systems into several other projects in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.
"Baltimore`s initiative powerfully demonstrates how advanced content analytics along superior digital video performance can significantly increase the speed of threat detection and efficiency of corrective action," says Ian Ehrenberg, vice president and general manager of NICE`s digital video security division, US. "NICE`s video solutions are the preferred choice of local, state and federal officials for video content analytics and they are turning to NICE to support their effort in enhancing security and protecting the public."
