RA'ANANA and LOD, Israel,
December 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) and
AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC) today announced the
integration of AudioCodes' Mediant VoIP solutions with NICE's
Engage Platform, enabling customers to meet their recording needs
while leveraging their existing AudioCodes' Session Border
Controllers (SBC) and Media Gateways.
The NICE Engage Platform offers simple and cost-effective call
recording in any VoIP environment. The partnership with AudioCodes,
a leading provider of converged voice solutions, enables end users
to maintain call security while using best-in-class call recording
software with a standard SIPREC (Session Initiation Protocol
Recording) practice.
The AudioCodes-NICE collaboration enables customers, such as
contact centers, emergency agencies and enterprises complying with
regulatory recording requirements, to simplify their recording
solution by leveraging the existing AudioCodes Mediant product line
to fork real-time media sessions to the NICE Engage platform
without the need to deploy additional recording tools. The solution
is already in production and has been successfully deployed at a
Fortune 100 global financial institution.
"The successful integration with NICE Engage ensures reliable,
flexible and scalable recording of VoIP calls handled by AudioCodes
devices, delivering great value for customers of both companies,"
said Yehuda Herscovici, VP Product
at AudioCodes. "By partnering with NICE, we are confident that we
can provide our customers with the industry's best-of-breed VoIP
call recording capabilities."
Hila Lamm, VP Multi-Channel
Recording LoB at NICE Systems, added, "NICE is committed to
providing its customers with quality software solutions that enable
greater flexibility to choose the accompanying hardware to best
suit their needs. Our partnership with AudioCodes is a testament to
this endeavor. By teaming up with AudioCodes, a leading SBC vendor,
we are able to strengthen our offering to the market and extend our
client base. This also reinforces our leadership in supporting and
promoting SIPREC as the standard recording protocol."
The joint offering builds on NICE's comprehensive cross-channel
interaction recording capabilities, which include voice, video and
screen capture, and on AudioCodes' advanced Media Gateways and SBC
products and technologies. The speed and scale of the integrated
solution enable organizations to ensure regulatory compliance and
quality management for all interactions. The solution also enables
customers to migrate gradually from their legacy TDM equipment to a
fully IP-based environment while utilizing the same AudioCodes
products and NICE SIP-based recording infrastructure.
