NextPoint Fuels Secure, High-Quality Contact Center Service Delivery and Scalability at Ryla
Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) March 20, 2008 -- NextPoint?, a leader in fixed-mobile connectivity (FMC) solutions, today announced that its Session Border Controller (SBC) and Real-Time Session Manager (RSM) products have been deployed into operation at Ryla, an award-winning provider of outsourced customer contact solutions for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and nonprofit organizations. As a result, Ryla?s rising call volume and related security concerns have been addressed, and Ryla is reaping the benefits of new capabilities such as real-time notification of network and service performance.
Based in the Atlanta metro area, Ryla offers multimedia inbound and outbound customer contact, service and support, business process outsourcing, data and application services, and crisis response communications through its state-of-the-art facilities. With capacity for more than 1,500 domestically-based customer service representatives, Ryla associates deliver ?Excellent Interactions Every Timesm? via ongoing and on-demand client engagements. Ryla?s rapid growth since its founding in 2001, coupled with its forward-thinking adoption of voice over IP (VoIP) technology, led to a significant increase in the volume of IP traffic, raising the stakes for incoming call quality and security.
?NextPoint immediately recognized the challenges we were facing and the potential impact to our operations and our clients,? said Mark Wilson, Ryla?s president and CEO. ?Within two weeks of purchase, the NextPoint SBC and RSM were installed, working in our environment and delivering results. NextPoint clearly understands our business, and is helping us drive greater productivity and important operating efficiencies that pave the way for future endeavors.?
NextPoint?s SBC ensures that all inbound calls to Ryla?s contact centers are secure, regardless of short-term spikes or steady increases in IP traffic. It also provides the device and protocol interoperability Ryla will require to seamlessly migrate toward a next-generation, all-IP infrastructure that will deliver richer, IP-converged applications. With such an all-IP infrastructure, Ryla will be well-positioned for new growth initiatives, including the integration of acquired contact centers or the adoption of solutions for remote-based customer service representatives.
With the NextPoint RSM, Ryla is receiving unprecedented visibility into network and service performance through real-time alarms and always-available statistics and reports. Armed with this intelligence, the company can proactively share data on call volume, call duration and more with each of its clients. Most importantly, Ryla can guarantee it is meeting its quality of service commitments to its clients, and can conclusively demonstrate that it is doing so.
?Our commitment to IP technology positions us to incorporate remote-based customer service agents into our business model. The use of remote agents will allow us to leverage a tremendously untapped resource and aggressively pursue additional growth ? but we have to be confident our network won?t be compromised with respect to security and scalability. That?s where NextPoint is important as our Partner. Their IntelliConnect® system, which now includes the Unified Communications Exchange? (UCX), provides the IP-centralized routing capabilities crucial to remote communications, empowering us to explore solutions that will keep us at the forefront of our industry,? Ryla?s Wilson added.
