Call SWEET! will be showcased in the Avaya Branch Solutions booth during the North American Partners segment of the conference on October 7th and 8th.

    Call SWEET! Live Enhancements Increase Functionality

    In addition to the popular graphical alarms, Call SWEET! Live now features several advanced alarms that alertusers audibly,by screen pop and/or via e-mail. Users can now be alerted instantly when calls in queue reach and/or exceed a user-defined service level threshold or when the length of time a call has been in queue has exceeded a threshold. As with all Call SWEET! Live features, security permissions can be set to restrict or permit user access to these alarms.

    A State Summary report has been recently added to the solution's report collection to keep track of the amount and percentage of time that hunt groups or specific agents are in each call state. This report serves many purposes, such as being used as a time card.

    DATEL's Software Developers are continuously enhancing Call SWEET! Live, so expect to hear about more valuable features being added in the future.


    Rise in Number of Remote Workers Requires Innovative Monitoring Solutions

    A growing number of companies, large and small, are finding ways to reduce costs and adapt to the needs of their employees by offering telecommuting positions. The International Telework Association & Council (ITAC) forecasts over 40 million teleworkers in the U.S. by 2010. The rise in gas prices and obligations at home are just a few of the many reasons why employees are choosing to work outside of the office.

    A key concern that employers have with telecommuting is the lack of monitoring and overall control associated with it. Luckily, advances in technology, such as with VoIP and contact center solutions, mean workers can now be as productive and efficient working outside the office as they are working in it, perhaps more so.

    Companies can implement a contact center solution, such as DATEL's Call SWEET! Live, and then monitor phone activity throughout the day by viewing live agents status and queue details, and by running robust call reports. Know who the remote worker is calling, when calls are made and a variety of other details that are critical to productivity monitoring. Contact center solutions like Call SWEET! Live, together with VoIP, will help maintain control and increase efficiency and output while the number of remote workers grows.


    First-rate Call Accounting Solution Needed for Aid Organization

    Less than a year ago, Food For The Poor found themselves in need of a new call accounting solution to replace their outdated system. With over 200 employees throughout the organization and 42 callers in their call center, comprehensive reporting on phone usage was essential. Various departmental and individual user reports were necessary to set accurate phone usage budgets and monitor call activity. Supervisors wanted the ability to view the call activity of all employees in order to improve usage efficiency.

    When Food For The Poor decided to purchase a new solution, their first step was to ask their reseller for any recommendations. Upon hearing that the organization was looking for a first-class reporting solution, the reseller suggested Call SWEET!. A live demonstration of the solution was set up and as Eddie Mustafa, Technical Services Manager at Food For The Poor, later said, "I saw the demo and was convinced that Call SWEET! was what we were looking for." Reporting was crucial for Food For The Poor and Call SWEET! included everything that they needed, from department-level to extension-level.

    Customer Support Goes Above and Beyond

    DATEL Software Solutions takes customer care very seriously and strives for 100% satisfaction. When a new customer called on a recent Friday needing immediate installation and training assistance, DATEL did not waste any time fulfilling their request. Instead of simply having the customer speak to a Support Tech over the phone, DATEL chose to send a Software Engineer for on-site aid.

    The Software Engineer involved with this particular project was on vacation, which for most companies means that he was unavailable to help, but not at DATEL! The Software Engineer was committed to helping and flew to the customer's location first thing Monday morning. He was able to assist in a variety of ways, from helping with configuration to explaining the application's features to new users. Another happy customer and a successful day for DATEL's Support Team!


    DATEL is Growing!
