“The greatest challenge was the time pressure for installing this solution for the first time. Project’s success was due to the excellent cooperation with VISANA, and the incredible ease of deploying Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch Contact Center PREMIUM ed. solution. In addition, embedded Visual-IVR solution drastically cut total cost of ownership. This allowed us to optimize cost of Hardware and benefit from unified administration for both prequalification and routing, through a single GUI tool based on VisualCC.” ROLF DIETRICH, ACCOUNT MANAGER NEXTIRAONE SWITZERLAND
