Verint Systems and Westcon Group Sign Global Distribution Agreement.

Distributor Extends Convergence Portfolio, Making Robust Mid-Market Call Recording Solution More Widely Available Across Global VAR Community

MELVILLE & TARRYTOWN, N.Y. -- Verint Systems Inc., a leading provider of analytic software-based solutions for workforce-enterprise optimization and security, and Westcon Group, Inc., a leading specialty distributor in networking, security, mobility and convergence, today announced that Westcon is now distributing the call recording software from Verint Systems' Witness Actionable Solutions business line on a multi-national basis.

The partnership - which further broadens Westcon Group's convergence portfolio with robust call recording software designed for small businesses and mid-sized organizations - extends worldwide presence and availability of the Verint Witness Actionable Solutions offering through Westcon's global VAR network of resellers and customers. Verint Witness Actionable Solutions is also a member of Westcon's Affinity Partner Program, featuring powerful, go-to-market capabilities designed to enhance global delivery through its sales force, technical capabilities, logistics services and breadth of customer relationships.

The mid-market call recording software helps companies address compliance, liability, dispute resolution and quality management within contact centers. Designed for between 10 and 150 agent positions, it allows even small centers to take advantage of a wide array of powerful recording software benefits. The offering also is leveraged in the command and control, and public safety markets.

"Enterprises of all sizes are seeking actionable intelligence to enhance the performance of their customer-focused operations, and we are expanding our channels to address this need," says Nancy Treaster, senior vice president and general manager of Verint Witness Actionable Solutions. "We've seen a shift in organizations recording calls not just for regulatory and compliance reasons, but because they want the opportunity to positively impact the quality and accuracy of transactions, as well as the ability to improve workforce performance. Westcon Group, through its solutions programs and convergence expertise, is positioned to help us further extend the reach of our mid-market offering, making it even more widely available to a highly-focused customer base."

Anthony Daley, executive vice president and general manager, Westcon Group, comments, "Call centers are becoming much more important as the primary touch point for customers - and not just in 'service oriented' segments. According to Datamonitor, over $200 million will be spent by call centers with less than 100 agents in 2007. Therefore a genuine need exists to provide analytics in these environments both from a compliance and quality improvement perspective. Verint's solutions work seamlessly in both TDM and IP environments, and the solution can sit literally anywhere on the network."

"With Verint as an Affinity Partner, we are able to provide our customers with an industry-leading solution for call recording and quality monitoring. Its mid-market offering provides small- to mid-sized contact centers solutions that have only been feasible for large call centers in the past," adds Robert Pullman, president, Teledynamics, a leading Westcon Group VAR.
