Outstanding Innovation the Reason that INSPIRATIONpro 8.0 was Honored

ASC announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC) Magazine Communications Solutions named INSPIRATIONpro 8.0 a recipient of a 2007 Product of the Year Award.

INSPIRATIONpro 8.0 improves ASC’s already sophisticated quality monitoring solution with several new capabilities, such as the use of speech technology for automated analysis that is especially useful for contact centers with a high volume of calls.

INSPIRATIONpro helps call center managers learn about their agents’ service level and thus fosters a continuous improvement process. It provides a detailed and automated analysis of recorded calls by using transcription and speech mining capability.

Most importantly, INSPIRATIONpro 8.0 can now be provided as On-Demand Services, a revolutionary new sourcing concept for quality monitoring. Just as consumers receive electricity without building their own power station, on-demand products give service providers the possibility to provide centralized service and deliver it like “water from a tap.”

Harald Zapp, Chief Operating Officer of ASC, said, “We are honored to receive this award from Technology Marketing Corporation because we believe INSPIRATIONpro is superior in both, features and its On-Demand availability. Service providers are now able to offer communications recording as well as quality monitoring services to their customers.”

“ASC has been recognized with a 2007 Product of the Year Award for their excellence in the advancement of voice and data communications,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief of Communications Solutions. “ASC has proven they are committed to quality and excellence in solutions that benefit the customer experience as well as ROI for the companies that use them. I am pleased to honor their hard work and accomplishments, and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future.”

The eighth annual Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award recognizes the vision, leadership, and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of this prestigious award. The most innovative products and services brought to market in 2007 were selected as the recipients of this year’s Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award for their groundbreaking achievement.
