Braxtel created the Contact Q contact centre software by building on the experience gained from developing its established offering, the Fluency Communications Suite. In addition to contact centre software, Braxtel delivers installation and support services to its business partners worldwide. The company has over 13 years of experience implementing automated call distributor (ACD), interactive voice response (IVR), call recording and dialler applications and has long worked with traditional PBX vendors such as Avaya, Cisco and Nortel and have now integrated relationships with the leading open source PBX vendors such as Asterisk.
Nick Thwaites, CEO of Braxtel Communications, said: “We are excited about the long awaited release of Contact Q. If you look carefully a very powerful trend is emerging, UK and US Governments both encourage Open Source adoption as it massively lowers the bill to the tax payer for public sector offices to increase efficiency and yet reduce costs.”
Thwaites went on to say “OK, Open Source is the buzz word right now and indeed if you look at where its being adopted its is far reaching, from CRM software to SIP Stacks and complete telephony packages but in reality it is more about value for money and in our current economic climate with the existing threat from new economies in the far east Open Source is a strong weapon in helping UK companies stay competitive and grow margins!”
