Nick Randall, CEO of Portrait, commented, "We are proud to offer our call centre customers an industry-leading suite of telephony technology. Due to our certification process, all of our EDGE, EDGE-2020, and Portrait customers can contract with Callfinity directly for ACD, IVR, call recording, and dialer solutions with the confidence that they will work with our software."

Portrait's Intelligent Dialogue software will enable organisations to extend their existing call centre capability to include an intelligent IVR system. Using highly sophisticated applications intelligent prompts can offer the most relevant product or service to each customer, therefore delivering proactive and profitable interactions.

Callfinity's suite of products includes a multimodal ACD platform for queuing and routing inbound telephone calls, chat sessions, emails, and faxes to call center agents; a modular IVR system for automated assistance and web services support; a voice and screen recording system for quality management and training; and an automated outbound dialer module with predictive, progressive, and automatic dialing capabilities. All of Callfinity's products include web-based real-time dashboards, reports, and full integration with the EDGE and Portrait software products.

"We're proud to offer our telephony products to the Portrait customer base," said Jeff Valentine, President & CEO of Callfinity. "Now, legacy EDGE customers can extend their investment in EDGE without investing in a new software integration project while implementing any or all modules in our call center suite. Furthermore, this gives EDGE customers that want to upgrade to EDGE-2020 or Portrait's newest products a clear and fully supported migration path without reprogramming their telephony systems."

Both Portrait and Callfinity plan to inform existing customers about the new certification of Callfinity's systems starting immediately.
