PerSay’s Team of Global Partners Continues to Expand
PerSay’s already extensive network of solution provider, system integrator and Value-Added Reseller (VAR) partners keeps on growing. These companies leverage PerSay’s superior voice verification technology and platforms in their own product portfolio. In addition to IBM Global Business Services, which offers PerSay technology as part of a comprehensive contact center solution, the following partners have come aboard this year:

NGS, New Generation Solutions (Midrand, South Africa), is an IT services company that offers a wide array of security platforms from an impressive network of solution providers, which now includes PerSay. NGS aims to become a market leader in IT infrastructure management by offering unique and cost-effective security and service solutions to customers. The relationship with PerSay enables NGS to offer their customers the most accurate voice biometric technology available.
While South Africa boasts its share of technology early adopters, in many cases, a wait-and-see approach typically prevails. Automated voice applications are limited to basic inquiries like flight information, while most phone- and web-based transactions are still handled by call center personnel who ask customers for passwords and proceed with challenge questions. Financial and other institutions are reluctant to automate security, but anxious to do so when the right solution surfaces. www.ngs.co.za

Wittel (Sao Paulo, Brazil), a leading integrator of contact center solutions, partners with PerSay to combat the rising incidence of financial fraud in Brazil. Wittel looks for opportunities to seamlessly integrate and support PerSay’s extremely reliable text-dependent VocalPassword and text-independent, transparent FreeSpeech speaker verification products into contact center solutions for Brazil’s leading financial services and telecommunications providers. www.wittel.com.br

Algotech delivers robust, flexible telecommunications and customer service solutions, which enable businesses to effectively manage customer interactions and maximize profitability.
