Call Center Agent Training, Lingo and Law

We believe education is a darned good thing.

We also offer some resources on the main Accurate Always site for the public. You can check out the section on call recording notification law and also browse our call center glossary here.

Steve Jobs Was a Total Phreaker

Back in the olden days, make that 2003, when Accurate Always was designing the first Voxida interface, it was an unofficial mantra to "Apple it up." Steve Jobs, leading the Apple design team helm, was the undeniable tastemaker; the user interfaces made the Mac an instant friend, the user docs were helpful and efficient, and the corporate culture was weird. Really weird. Weird enough that they pulled off miracles. So, in 2003, we breathed and ate telecom tech (and those awesome little chocolate covered espresso beans) and more than once did an informal salute to Steve Jobs, the Phreaker.

What a lot of people don't know is that Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak illegally (and, this author believes, rather comically,) learned how to place international phone calls, free. Decades ago, Steve Jobs was already thinking different, using blue box devices to seize international trunk lines, with Wozniak even calling the Pope. This was possible by using tones, generated by the "blue box", as in-band signaling, gaming the switchboard.

 Steve, we salute thee. Thanks for the laughs, raising the bar for user interface design and truly being "insanely great." You changed the world and our offering.

 "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." -Steve Jobs

More Businesses Embrace VoIP for Enterprise Communications

Hard economic times during the past several years slowed growth in the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and unified communications markets, but the trend is reversing, thanks in large part to a growing uptake among businesses, according to a new report by Infonetics Research. via www.speechtechmag.com

The tide might well be turning. More and more businesses are embracing VoIP for their primary and hybrid communications systems. While TDM still is on top, many agile organizations are also exploring SIP trunking and unified communications telephony.

Recording VoIP calls takes some planning to avoid common pitfalls and unnecessary expense. Voxida, Accurate Always' communication recording solution, is designed to accommodate VoIP, digital and analog interfaces. If you have any questions about how VoIP recording could work in your center, contact Accurate Always for more information about best practices for capturing, and monitoring, Cisco, Avaya and other trunk and station-side VoIP calls.
