PSS invites contact center managers and IT leaders to join us for a “Contact Center Transition” webinar on July 26, 2012 at 2 PM.
Is your organization’s IVR system end-of-life with no vendor support? ProPSS is a proactive maintenance with heartbeat monitoring support program offering a single point of problem resolution across your entire IVR, CTI and PBX infrastructure.
Learn about the option of a full managed service which can also save the disruption of moving to a hosted solution. You may be surprised to learn about PSS’s App Centre legacy to VoiceXML code conversion tool for enhancing and upgrading legacy IVR systems.
Are you planning an upgrade to new platforms or applications and are concerned that migrating to open standards such as VoiceXML for IVR and SIP using VoIP involves long deployment times, high cost and a variety of risk profiles?
PSS will also share their Visual IVR capability as one of those first stepping stones to providing another channel, on top of an existing technology for that younger generation who would rather interact with their smart phone or feature phone.
Then we think you’ll be very interested in how PSS Help provides a complete range of sophisticated software tools and specialty application development and integration services
