CTI Group (Holdings) Inc.: CTI Group Announces SugarCRM Plug-In for Call Recording Archival
INDIANAPOLIS, IN--(Marketwire - January 22, 2009) - CTI Group (
SmartRecord® IP is CTI Group's industry leading web-based, VoIP call recording solution. With SmartRecord® IP, calls are recorded based on the user's specifications and then archived for review on the MP3 format of the user's choice. With the advancements in the VoIP technologies market, CTI Group is constantly looking for ways to expand their call recording solutions to make them more user-friendly and easier for companies to integrate into their everyday operations.
SugarCRM is a commercial open source CRM solution that allows companies to track and manage customer relations. As with most CRM solutions, Sugar allows the user to archive emails, documents, quotes, etc. to track activities and agreements. But, unlike other CRM solutions, SugarCRM is now integrated with SmartRecord® IP to archive actual recorded calls. Meetings, webinars, and negotiations can all be archived within the account file for future review.
Before placing a follow up call, the user can review past correspondence to make certain all questions have been answered and all deliverables have been delivered. Being able to review all of the account details before contacting a customer, will enable the user to more thoroughly support the customer and instill confidence in the customer in their ability to stay organized and on point.
"As a customer-oriented company, ourselves, we have enjoyed the advantages of a CRM solution, first hand. We find that the more we can document or archive to our CRM solution, the more thoroughly we can manage our relationships. It was in that vein, that we decided to create this SmartRecord® IP Plug-In to Sugar. This is just one of the many advancements that SmartRecord® IP Version 2.0 offers," said Sid Rao, Chief Technology Officer, CTI Group, Inc.
