Business Wire, Oct 16, 2006

LCS 2005 users can now meet legal requirements to record phone calls. Call recording now available at the desktop.

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Telrex, a leading provider of VoIP call recording software for small and medium business using IP PBXs and hosted PBX services, today announced that CallRex now supports recording phone calls occurring on the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 (LCS 2005) platform.

CallRex enhances the value of Microsoft LCS 2005 by bringing call recording to the desktop and extending compliance, training and productivity benefits to LCS 2005 users.

LCS 2005 Users Can Meet Compliance Requirements

Companies using the Office Communicator client can now more easily meet their compliance obligations to record phone calls, particularly internal to internal phone calls.

"CallRex records calls by sniffing audio packets at the desktop where the Communicator client is installed," says Michael Gyger, senior product manager at Telrex. "By recording calls at the desktop, LCS 2005 customers are assured they can meet their legal obligation to record calls now that all calls can be recorded or monitored, regardless of whether they are internal-internal calls or internal-external calls."

For example, financial services firms utilizing LCS 2005 to talk with their clients can now use CallRex to record and archive these conversations, helping ensure compliance with legal requirements such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Similarly, accounting departments of many larger companies using LCS 2005 can help ensure Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

Call Recording Now At The Desktop

CallRex extends the value of LCS 2005 by making recorded calls accessible at the desktop. For example, LCS 2005 customers can use the CallRex API to link recorded calls made on the Office Communicator client into a customer's record in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This allows sales people to review their past phone conversations with customers.

LCS 2005 users can achieve additional benefits by using CallRex add-on products. For example, CallRex Agent Evaluation allows mangers to evaluate and score phone call made on the Office Communicator. These calls can then be reviewed with the front-line employees in order to ensure the highest quality customer interactions.
