Norwalk, CT, November 1, 2011 – TMC, a global, integrated media company helping our clients build communities in print, in person and online, today announced the winners of the Customer Interaction Solutions 2011 Speech Technology Excellence Award. Customer Interaction Solutions magazine has been the leading publication in CRM, call centers and teleservices since 1982.

Customer Interaction Solutions has covered call center technology for almost three decades. The magazine has covered the progression from ancient predictive dialers, recording systems, and full CTI integration to IP-PBXs with remote VoIP call center agents. 

The 2011 Speech Technology Excellence Award recognizes companies who have made significant contributions improving speech applications for their clients. Speech technology has become more prevalent in telephony-based applications and in hand-held computers, kiosks and mobile applications.

“Winners of the Speech Technology Excellence Awards have demonstrated to the editors of Customer Interaction Solutions that their products are exemplary in the speech technology industry. These products have proven superior capability and ultimately improved the bottom line for customers,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC (News - Alert) CEO. 

“The 2011 Speech Technology Excellence Award acknowledges those companies that have successfully embraced technologies that give them the competitive edge over contact centers failing to embrace speech solutions,” Tehrani added.
