EVOip Boosted with WEBplay and POWERplay to Ensure Safety of Older and Disabled Citizens

Hoesbach/Germany, March 28, 2011 – ASC (www.asctelecom.com), a leading global provider of innovative solutions to record, analyze and evaluate communications, today announced the successful implementation of its VoIP communications recording solution, EVOip, supplemented with WEBplay and POWERplay, to ensure the safety of older and disabled citizens residing in the District of Harborough in the United Kingdom.

The solution was installed at the Harborough Lifeline Center, a contact center providing 24/7, 365-day service, integrated with community emergency organizations including police, ambulances and firemen. It allows immediate replay of the most recent call to assist operators in complex situations as well as remote access from any web browser to let managers working from home listen to a critical call and determine the best course of action.

John Diaz, Control Centre Manager of the Harborough Lifeline Centre, said, “Our most important need and core function involves the delivery of quality service in an efficient manner, and we were astounded by the impact of ASC’s solution on our day-to-day operations. ASC’s voice recording system enables management operations to remain proactive at all times, which at Lifeline, actually saves lives.”

The communications recording system is integrated with the contact center’s existing infrastructure, a Mitel 3300 v. 6.1 telephone system and Mitel 5220 IP handsets. The communications recorder handles both digital and analog lines and uses station-side passive recording of VoIP, tapping the LAN connection at each IP phone.

Harborough Lifeline Center offers its customers alarm equipment and a pendant with a button they can push in case of an emergency. A speech unit can pick up their voice from anywhere in the house even if doors are closed. Calls are answered in less than one minute, and nearby responders, known as “key holders,” are designated in advance and can provide support until help arrives.

John Diaz concluded, "Recording is a crucial part of our technology infrastructure, and the ability to retrieve calls from anywhere on the web means we can provide the best advice to our operators in a crisis situation. The ASC solution has surpassed our expectations; it offers quality, reliability, flexibility and reassurance.”
