Ness Technologies Wins IVR Contract with Bank Discount
TEL AVIV, Israel, May 10, 2010-- Ness Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTC and TASE: NSTC), a global
provider of IT services and solutions, today announced that it has been
awarded a contract from Bank Discount to deploy an Interactive Voice Response
(IVR) and speech recognition system at Israel's Bank Discount. The project
will last 18 months.
The communications division of Ness Technologies' Technologies
and Systems Group (Ness TSG) will provide the bank with an advanced,
interactive voice response solution based on the Genesys Voice Platform
(GVP), a software-based voice portal developed by Genesys Telecommunications
Laboratories, an Alcatel-Lucent company. GVP enables businesses to provide
cost-effective customer interactions. In addition, the solution will include
the deployment of advanced speech recognition applications which will enable,
at the first stage, to receive information about stock rates and branches
opening hours. The speech recognition will be performed using a speech
recognition engine developed by Nuance.
Ness Technologies has years of experience in establishing contact
centers and integrated solutions based on Computer Telephony Integration
(CTI), IVR and speech recognition. Ness has exclusive experience in deploying
Genesys' GVP platform in Israel. The new project is the fourth such system
implemented in Israel in the recent years. In addition, Ness Technologies
developed related solutions that provide clients with added value in
management, operation and conducting necessary daily changes, including
Hebrew support.
"The advanced system that was proposed by Ness enables the right
integration of the various technologies that exist in the bank and
complements the bank's Genesys CTI system," said Shay Vardi, Bank Discount's
CIO. "The system will allow us to deploy new services rapidly in a short
time, and improve our service level."
"The selection of Ness Technologies by Bank Discount is an
expression of confidence in the solution and experience offered by Ness, as
well as satisfaction from the professional, efficient and reliable service
provided by us to Bank Discount during the years," said Michael Zinderman,
President of Ness TSG.
