(OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :UCNN), a provider of on-demand contact handling software and business telecommunication services delivered over the UCN national VoIP network, announced today that Global Telesourcing LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , a leading, U.S.-based call center service provider to Spanish-speaking markets, has been a UCN inContact customer since July 2004. During that period, the company experienced a 50 percent growth rate, quarter-over-quarter, and the call handling solution GT configured using UCN products was scalable and flexible enough to accommodate that growth. Global Telesourcing (GT), founded in 2003, with headquarters in Alexandria, Va., operates multiple call centers located in South America South America, fourth largest continent (1991 est. pop. 299,150,000), c.6,880,000 sq mi (17,819,000 sq km), the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. .

GT's call center facilities represent a 2,000-seat capacity, across multiple call center locations, largely in Argentina. These centers are state-of-the-art, offering all the benefits of high-quality, domestic call center, for less than half the cost. As a new business, GT was seeking to create a telecommunications infrastructure that would enable the company to handle several thousand simultaneous calls at a competitive cost for its clients. "We were looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. a technology partner that could provide us with a cost-effective solution, yet still enable us to do what we wanted to do," explained Bill Colton, president, Global Telesourcing. Working with UCN telecom products and the inContact on-demand call handling services, U.S.-based customers call a U.S. toll-free number in response to an advertisement. The inContact system holds the calls in the U.S., then routes each caller to the next available, skilled agent at one of several South American call centers, without a busy signal and transparent to the caller. One of GT's first challenges came when it was competing for the business of the largest U.S.-based, Spanish-language, direct advertiser. This company heavily promoted its products on a leading Spanish-language TV variety show. Their products would be endorsed by the wildly popular celebrity host of the show. Prior to GT getting involved with this opportunity, the advertiser had estimated total inbound volume at 1,200 calls per night. Using the UCN system, GT was not only able to handle all inbound calls -- never producing a busy signal to a caller -- but, according to according to prep. 1.

Business Benefits "The UCN solution," explained Colton, "gave us a cost-competitive call handling system that could deal with the complexities of massive call spikes and transcontinental transfer requirements, without sacrificing voice quality or producing busy signals. This solution enabled GT to unlock the superior quality of a native Spanish-speaking, highly qualified labor market labor market A place where labor is exchanged for wages; an LM is defined by geography, education and technical expertise, occupation, licensure or certification requirements, and job experience in South America, without the telecommunications costs becoming prohibitive." To duplicate this solution using onsite PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). equipment would have been cost-prohibitive in terms of circuit bandwidth, T1 cards for the PBX and system integration to enable multi-site support, due to the need to scale up and down on short notice. For instance, one weekend in November, UCN carried 1,200 simultaneous calls for Global, utilizing 800 inContact ports. A few months prior, Global needed only 40 ports.
