Calabrio ONE Wins Stevie Award for Simplifying Analytics and Customer Relationship Management

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Calabrio, Inc., a leading provider of contact center workforce optimization and analytics software, today announced that its Calabrio ONE® Speech Analytics solution has been named the Silver Stevie® Award winner by the 2013 American Business Awards, and was recognized in the category of "New Product or Service of the Year." Honored for achievements in advancing relationship management software, the Calabrio ONE Speech Analytics solution greatly reduces the complexity usually associated with voice transaction analysis, making it easier for businesses to extract insightful data from their customer interactions happening in the contact center.

The literal "voice of the customer" has historically been hard to search for business insight because it is unstructured. Calabrio ONE Speech Analytics is built on an intelligent, flexible Web 2.0-based software and simplifies voice analysis using a phonetics-based approach that locates words or phrases within spoken audio—a method which is faster and less complex than alternative speech-to-text-based solutions. As a result, businesses are able to leverage recorded customer conversations to increase efficiency, strengthen customer relationships, improve product and process, and grow revenue, for example.

"The information that can be learned by unlocking the voice of the customer not only provides greater insight for activities in the contact center, but allows customer insights to be part of larger business intelligence initiatives and shared across the enterprise," said Tom Goodmanson, president and CEO of Calabrio. "We pride ourselves on providing our customers with intelligent, user-centric solutions that make customer interaction management simpler. We're thrilled to be honored with a Stevie Award to showcase our achievements."

"So many remarkable stories of success and innovation were told in the nominations submitted to this year's American Business Awards," said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. "We congratulate all of this year's Stevie Award winners, and thank them for the inspiration provided by their achievements."
