ThinkTel Certifies Telax Hosted Call Center as its Contact Center Solution

Businesses to enjoy a flexible, affordable contact center solution on a reliable coast-to-coast network

 

Metaswitch Forum 2011, Las Vegas, NV, October 3, 2011 - ThinkTel Communications today announced Telax Hosted Call Center, a leader in contact center technology, will now be its official solution for businesses that require a contact center due to increasing customer calls or need to replace their current contact center. The combined solution of Telax Hosted Call Center and ThinkTel SIP Trunking allows companies to employ a call center at a much lower cost than legacy technologies would ever allow.

“Telax is pleased to be certified as ThinkTel’s contact center solution. We admire their innovative approaches to solving real-world business problems with agile customer-centric solutions,” said Telax founder and President, Mario Perez. “Telax fits well within that model and further enhances the robust solution set already offered by ThinkTel.”

“We chose Telax as our best-of-breed contact center solution because of their outstanding history of delivering flexible, feature rich and easy to use call center software to enterprises and government agencies,” said Dave Damer, President and CEO of ThinkTel. “We can now enable our customers to provide world-class client care and help desk operations.”

Telax Hosted Call Center enables businesses to deploy a contact center that is both flexible and cost-effective, allowing for remote and local agents. The call center is implemented and hosted by Telax, requiring no hardware purchases or management by the business.  Leveraging the ThinkTel Metaswitch solution for SIP trunking and Hosted PBX enables advanced contact center deployments where one would not have otherwise been financially feasible, allowing companies to concentrate their efforts and capital on other ventures.

“Our partnership with Telax enables companies like ThinkTel to provide exceptional services to their customers while keeping costs down,” said Ken Cavanaugh, director of business development for Metaswitch. “Telax is a market leader in contact center technology, providing carriers with a reliable hosted call center solution.”

“Telax works with ThinkTel’s powerful solution set. They have a leadership position in SIP trunking, hosted PBX and hosted Lync, all of which Telax integrates, complements and leverages to add even greater value for organizations looking to deploy advanced contact center and service desk solutions,” continued Perez.

SIP Trunking to Telax Hosted Call Center reduces call center costs by employing the ability to purchase multiple channels without having to purchase or maintain a fixed number of PRIs over expected capacity at all times. Further, ThinkTel’s coast-to-coast and highly redundant network ensures calls will always get through, even in a disaster situation.
