MELVILLE, N.Y. and FRANKFURT, GERMANY, September 22, 2000 -
CosmoCom, Inc. the leader in Internet Protocol (IP) contact center
technology, announced today that the company established a German
subsidiary, CosmoCom GmbH. The Frankfurt office is CosmoCom's third office
to open in Europe in less than a year.
CosmoCom's expansion has been driven by dramatic developments in
electronic commerce and the implementation of Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) initiatives that are forcing the traditional call centers
to evolve into next generation multi-media contact centers enabling
customers to reach companies via any medium they choose: voice, fax,
video, e-mail or the Internet.
"Our expansion into Germany is part of the continuing development
of our presence, both domestically and internationally," stated
CosmoCom President and CEO, Ari Sonesh. "We have been active in
Germany for the past six months and the market interest in our CosmoCall
multi-media contact center has been overwhelming."
"Establishing a German subsidiary was the next logical step,"
added Meir Yaniv, Vice President, International Operations.
The Frankfurt office is managed by Christian Franke, who brings a deep
understanding of telecommunications, data networks and the solutions
market to CosmoCom. He says, "The role of the office is to develop
closer relationships and smoother business practices with our customers,
potential customers, and partners. We already have live installations in
Germany and Switzerland and wanted to ensure the best possible support for
the region."
The German office is the focal point for sales and support activities
in the central European region providing support to the company's German
partners like Danet Internet Solutions a leading consulting and software
development company that is 30% owned by Deutsche Telekom, and Siemens
Business Systems, a worldwide full-service provider of solutions for a
diversity of industries.
"We already have a strong sales and sales-support team with many
years of experience in sales of CRM and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
software in the Frankfurt office," said Sabine Niedenthal, who is
responsible for sales in Central Europe. "We will respond to the
strong demand in the marketplace by continuing to build a team of experts
in sales and technology."
CosmoCom GmbH, located at Darmstadter Landstrase 213, 60598 in
Frankfurt, joins other European locations in the UK and Paris, France to
complete the company's coverage of Europe, Middle East and Africa. A Tokyo
