BEDFORD, Mass., Feb. 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SoundBite Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:SDBT), a leading global provider of cloud-based multi-channel communications, announced that its Hosted Dialer was named to Collection Advisor magazine's list of Top Four Voice Broadcasting solutions of 2011.
Collection Advisor selected SoundBite's Hosted Dialer based on overall performance, superior functionality and prominent market share. SoundBite was also previously chosen by Collection Advisor as one of the Top 25 Collection Technology Products of 2010.

By augmenting our dialer with best-in-class multi-channel capabilities within one platform, we arm our clients with the tools and services they need to win in this dynamic collections environment."

"We've been using SoundBite's Hosted Dialer to meet the varying capacity needs of our European clients. Many of our clients rely on the cloud-based solution to handle their dialer needs including replacement of existing on-premise systems, capacity overflow and disaster recovery needs," Perry said. "The latest enhancements to SoundBite's hosted dialer will enable us to successfully enter the debt collection market with a highly-competitive and Ofcom-compliant solution."
