1Tel Also to Distribute BT’s Contact
Center On-Demand Service
MELVILLE, NY – November 3, 2003 – CosmoCom
announced today that it has signed an agreement with
Prague-based 1Tel for the distribution of its products in
the Czech Republic and other countries in Eastern Europe.
Under the agreement, 1Tel will sell and provide systems
integration services for CosmoCall Universe™ for
premise-based deployments. Separately, 1Tel has also agreed
to distribute and act as system integrator for Multimedia
Contact Center (MCC), the network-hosted Contact Center
On-Demand™ service from BT Global Services that is based
on the same CosmoCom platform.
1Tel joins a growing list of system integrators that have recognized a major opportunity in telco-provided hosted contact center services. While outsourcing technology infrastructure eliminates the need for end users to deploy and manage onsite technology, system integrators will continue to play an important role in building complete solutions around on-demand services like BT’s MCC.
"CosmoCom is the leading provider of all-IP contact center platforms," said Frantisek Zeman, managing director for 1Tel, "and we see great potential in our markets for both the premises model and the on-demand model. By teaming with CosmoCom and with their partner BT, we can offer the broadest possible array of solution options to our customers."
"1Tel is already recognized as the leading provider of conventional call center solutions in its region," said Ari Sonesh, chairman and CEO for CosmoCom. "This relationship extends their lead to include all-IP multimedia contact center solutions. And with hosted contact center offerings like BT’s MCC beginning to capture significant market share, 1Tel is well positioned to participate in a variety of state-of-the-art contact center projects. We are pleased and proud to have 1Tel as a partner."
