"MScript selected the Vocomo/Brooktrout solution because it enabled us to quickly design an application that addresses our customers' needs," said Mark Golino, CEO of MScript. "Vocomo's VoiceXML capabilities and standard hardware provided both ease of development and ease of use by tightly integrating with our web application, business processes and telephony system. We selected the Brooktrout TR1000 voice board because it offered a scalable product line from our initial T1 installation to higher port densities. We were also very familiar with Brooktrout from their Fax products."
The Vocomo/Brooktrout system helps to improve sales productivity by providing a telephone interface for data entry instead of typing at a computer. The TR1000 handles the telephone prompts and information captured during the call. For example, sales professionals call into the SalesScript tool and select the appropriate Salesforce.com form to create a new lead, enter a new contact or update an existing sales opportunity. The entered information is then pushed into the CRM database. With this tool, sales professionals can enter information more quickly by speaking 80 words per minute versus typing 20 words per minute allowing them to spend more time with customers and less time on administrative duties. By making the information easier to enter, sales professionals can also deliver more timely information on their activities.
The TR1000 helps vendors to streamline development, easily scale their applications via industry-standard programming interfaces, like VoiceXML, and support their products more cost-effectively than with competing speech boards. The performance and flexibility of the TR1000 allows IVR platforms to meet the current and evolving needs of advanced enterprise applications.
"Vocomo is pleased to enter this technology partnership with MScript," said Danny B. Lange, CEO of Vocomo. "Our partners are adding new customers and driving additional revenues with our powerful next-generation IVR systems. With our standards-based VoiceXML IVR technology, you can extend the functionality of your solutions without the risk and headache associated with legacy IVR systems."
