Delivered entirely as a software-as-a-service (SaaS), Contactual services do not require specialized hardware, telecom equipment or up-front capital expenditures.

"Working with Telanetix's AccessLine division will enable us to supply customers with an underlying, nationwide telephony network for their call center traffic and to extend the reach of our industry-changing technology."

Telanetix's AccessLine offers its Business T1 service at a discount of 30 to 40 percent from that of traditional phone companies. The service includes local, long distance, and supports toll free and international calling as well as enhanced features such as fax mailboxes, unified messaging, and follow me services.

"Contactual's software offerings align very well with those of our telepresence and VoIP solutions," noted Tom Szabo, chairman and CEO of Telanetix. "We're able to effectively integrate its OnDemand Contact Center into our VoIP offerings, allowing both companies to benefit from the increased market share in the Call Center space."
