New Release – Available Now

QMS 7.1 helps to support the evolution of the Enghouse Interactive contact centre products by supporting multi-channel recording, allowing text communications such as instant messaging, web chat, email and SMS, to be natively captured from the contact centre applications in the Interactive portfolio. The multi-channel recording features also support third-party systems, including Skype for Business instant message recording, as well as providing generic APIs for use in integration with other third-party platforms.

In addition to the multi-channel functionality, QMS 7.1 also provides important updates to the Cisco and Skype for Business integrations, helping improve the end user experience and lower cost of ownership. Further details are provided below. Other enhancements improve the security and compliance features of QMS and can be beneficial to those customers interested in the forthcoming European GDPR regulations.

Improving the Daily Lives of the People of the Contact Center

The Enghouse Interactive portfolio strives to improve the daily lives of people in the contact centre through interaction management software and our 2017 software releases are a huge contributing factor to this mission.

We know happy contact centre agents equal happy customers, but who is the happy agent? We believe it’s the agent that’s in control, has all the information they need at their fingertips, isn’t stressed, can confidently handle every challenge and come back tomorrow to do it all again.

It’s our mission to develop great tools that allow agents to do exactly that – leave the office every day knowing they conquered every challenge thrown at them and made their customers happy. Our strong relationship with our customers has given us a real understanding of what makes them tick. We work alongside our customers to ensure they’re not fighting their battles alone.
