Promero, a member of the Oracle Partner Network, is now hosting Oracle’s (News - Alert) Contact Center Anywhere v8 inbound and outbound multichannel contact handling and management solution suitable for both IP and TDM environments.
Contact Center Anywhere replaces or co-exists with existing PBX (News - Alert) Inbound/outbound cross-media blending and integrated outbound predictive/preview dialing IVR. Chat includes web collaboration/form sharing, push technology and suggested response. E-mail management includes automated e-mail management and e-mail routing with suggested responses.
Hosted environments enable rapid deployment and achieving ROI, which is considerable with the features offered by Contact Center Anywhere, but with minimal and CFO-pleasing up-front costs. Promero’s offering permits firms to buy into this new technology and features or replace older, obsolete premises-based hardware or software providing the same basic functions without heavy investments.

“Companies with annualized revenue under $100M and less than 200 agents are the majority of typical customers that we encounter seeking hosted predictive dialer and call center software solutions,” explains Promero president Gregg Troyanowski. “We believe that our turn-key hosted solution utilizing Oracle's Contact Center Anywhere software is representative of the highly desired magic quadrant solution offering the best in class features and low operational costs.”
