"It's an honor to be named a finalist for this Golden Bridge Award; it's a testament to Calabrio's commitment to providing intelligent solutions that simplify and solve our customers' toughest challenges in the contact center," said Tom Goodmanson, president and CEO of Calabrio. "Calabrio ONE's Web 2.0-based user experience is a modern and flexible solution that cuts complexity at all levels of daily use and configurability, allowing contact centers to easily keep pace with the changing dynamics of customer interaction for a competitive edge."

Calabrio's revolutionary Web 2.0 approach draws on proven social media techniques helping contact centers prepare for the future and embrace new directions and opportunities in employee relations, customer interaction and business intelligence. The solution's progressive, widget-based dashboard clearly displays metrics and activities in a view that is personalized and configurable for each individual user—from the newest agent or sales team member to the most senior manager or supervisor—to track and report on compliance, sales and marketing trends, customer satisfaction and more.

The Calabrio ONE software suite includes call recording, quality management, workforce management, performance management and the newly integrated speech analytics software. Calabrio Speech Analytics features a powerful phonetics engine, which locates words or phrases within spoken audio—a faster and less complex approach when compared to traditional speech-to-text solutions. The engine captures, analyzes and categorizes 100% of calls, giving users the option to physically listen to as few or as many of the recordings they find necessary to determine a pattern or a root cause. This innovative approach saves time, cost and practicality barriers for realizing true value in speech and content analytics and achieving business goals.

Calabrio ONE is currently available through Calabrio and its partner network. Additional information about all Calabrio products or a free analytics trial can be found at www.calabrio.com.
