Brooktrout, Vocomo, and MScript Deliver VoiceXML-based Tool for
Salesforce Automation
Allows Interactive Voice Access to Industry Leading CRM Systems
SpeechTEK West, Booth: 510 and 419, San Francisco, February
22, 2005 — Brooktrout Technology, Inc., a leading supplier
of media processing and call control products, and Vocomo®,
a pioneer in next-generation IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
systems, today announced that MScript is using Vocomo’s
VoiceXML IVR system which runs on Brooktrout’s award-winning
TR1000™ voice platform, in its SalesScript application.
SalesScript is a powerful web-based application that enables
sales representatives to input real time account information
via voice thus saving time and increasing their workflow. Sales
professionals can use SalesScript with industry leading CRM applications
such as Salesforce.com to update their records while they are
on the road. With this new IVR tool, users are able spend more
time in the field, enter data more quickly and save over 40 hours
per month compared to the old way of typing in the information
back at the office.
“MScript selected the Vocomo/Brooktrout solution because
it enabled us to quickly design an application that addresses our
customers’ needs,” said Mark Golino, CEO of MScript. “Vocomo’s
VoiceXML capabilities and standard hardware provided both ease
of development and ease of use by tightly integrating with our
web application, business processes and telephony system. We selected
the Brooktrout TR1000 voice board because it offered a scalable
product line from our initial T1 installation to higher port densities.
We were also very familiar with Brooktrout from their fax products.”
The Vocomo/Brooktrout system helps to improve sales productivity
by providing a telephone interface for data entry instead of
typing at a computer. The TR1000 handles the telephone prompts
and information
captured during the call. For example, sales professionals call
into the SalesScript tool and select the appropriate Salesforce.com
form to create a new lead, enter a new contact or update an existing
sales opportunity. The entered information is then pushed into
the CRM database. With this tool, sales professionals can enter
information more quickly by speaking 80 words per minute versus
typing 20 words per minute allowing them to spend more time with
customers and less time on administrative duties. By making the
information easier to enter, sales professionals can also deliver
more timely information on their activities.
The TR1000 helps vendors to streamline development, easily scale
their applications via industry-standard programming interfaces,
like VoiceXML, and support their products more cost-effectively
than with competing speech boards. The performance and flexibility
of the TR1000 allows IVR platforms to meet the current and evolving
needs of advanced enterprise applications.
“Vocomo is pleased to enter this technology partnership
with MScript,” said Danny B. Lange, CEO of Vocomo. “Our
partners are adding new customers and driving additional revenues
with our powerful next-generation IVR systems. With our standards-based
VoiceXML IVR technology, you can extend the functionality of your
solutions without the risk and headache associated with legacy
IVR systems.”
