CosmoCall Universe(TM) Powers InstaCC Contact Center Service of VSNL.

Broadens CosmoCom Presence in Booming Indian Contact Center Market

MELVILLE, N.Y. -- CosmoCom, whose all-IP, universal access contact center system is the platform of choice for more top-tier network service providers worldwide than any other product of its kind, announced that VSNL, leading global communications company & one of India's largest enterprise service providers, has been offering a Contact Center On-Demand service based on its CosmoCall Universe[TM] platform. Appropriately named InstaCC, VSNL's offering is a feature rich, multimedia contact center solution, rapidly deployed, and paid for on a pay-per-use model, with no up-front technology investment.

These services, also known as Contact Center On-Demand (CCOD), allow companies to outsource their call center technology infrastructure while maintaining complete control over their staff, operation, and management. Because of the strong cost benefits of obtaining advanced contact center technology on a monthly basis with no capital outlay, and of paying only for what you use when business volume changes from month to month, analysts have projected that at least a third of all call center agents, including those deployed in BPOs, will be using the hosted model within ten years.

CosmoCall Universe[TM] supports all contact channels, including telephone, email, web chat, web voice, web video, web collaboration and voicemail in a high capacity, high availability, multi-tenant platform. The unified contact center suite includes Call Routing, IVR, CTI, and Outbound Preview, Progressive and Predictive Dialing, plus multimedia recording and complete reporting and administrative tools.

"We are pleased to see the success VSNL has achieved using our platform for their hosted contact center offerings," said Ari Sonesh, CosmoCom's Chairman and CEO. "The shared platform, multi-tenant model is the most efficient and effective deployment strategy for carriers and this is where CosmoCom excels," Sonesh explained. "Carriers know that when they work with us, they are working with a company that specializes in meeting their unique needs."

"InstaCC, the on-demand, hosted contact center solution of VSNL is integrated with its high capacity and reliable global voice and data network, backed by rapid deployment and 24x7x365 customer support. It brings state of the art contact center technology to VSNL's customers. VSNL already has several customers using this service and reaping the benefits like reduced TCO & fast deployments," says Abid Qadri, Vice President, Managed Services for VSNL. "A reliable solution from CosmoCom, InstaCC has enabled VSNL to benefit many of its customers with its zero-CAPEX pay-per-use model."

On 18 May 2007, BPO News honored CosmoCom as the best "On Demand Hosted Platform" as part of its first annual Indian Contact Center Solution Awards.
