SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - April 20, 2009) - IntelePeer Inc., a leader in cost-effective
hosted on-demand rich media communications, today announced an agreement to
integrate powerful Voice 2.0 features into corporate Web sites and contact
centers with Integrated System Solutions, Inc. (iS2), an innovative
professional services and software company.
Using the IntelePeer AppworX™ open communications platform, IntelePeer
and iS2 have developed innovative Voice 2.0 services that will help
customer contact centers reduce costs while improving customer service
performance. Using the hosted AppworX platform and IntelePeer's
carrier-grade voice network as a foundation, iS2 has developed key plug-ins
that will significantly reduce the time, up-front development costs and
business risks typically involved in bringing powerful new business
features to contact centers and Web platforms. This simultaneously reduces
communications expenses and nearly eliminates up-front capital costs.
The jointly developed services allow iS2's and IntelePeer's customers to
deploy new voice functionality within their existing applications. Features
include: customer click2connect from the Web that provides the agent with
associated customer data; call center agent click2connect,
click2conference, and SMS or voice notifications. These advanced contact
center Voice 2.0 features can also be easily deployed enterprise-wide,
allowing iS2 vendor and service provider customers to improve their service
while reducing costs.
"We offer a spectrum of pre-built solutions and services that focus on
providing maximum business value while reducing operational costs," said
Viru Gupte, lead consultant and founder, Integrated Systems Solutions.
"With IntelePeer's voice network and services, we can bring innovative
services into existing applications, while delivering carrier-grade
reliability and performance that is vital for our customers. At the same
time, we can offer our customers significant cost savings in their telecom
expenditures."
"IntelePeer's relationship with iS2, an innovative and flexible systems
integrator, shows the promise and value we offer for corporate contact
centers," said John Hart, senior vice president of business development and
marketing for IntelePeer. "With iS2, we see tremendous opportunities to
develop, integrate and deploy new business services that integrate Voice
2.0 features with Web and other customer-facing portals. By teaming
together, we are driving new revenue opportunities while introducing new
ways to reduce expenses for our customers."
