New Appia Case Study: Hosted VoIP Benefits Add Up for Accounting Firm

TRAVERSE CITY, MI – October 15, 2008 – Appia Communications, a leading provider of managed IT and telecom services, today announced a new case study featuring The CPA Group, an accounting and business consulting firm in Missouri.

IT consulting firm WSRB recommended solutions from Appia and Cyberian Technologies for The CPA Group, which had outgrown and overwhelmed its existing systems.

“We needed a system in place that would integrate two offices, enable us to work from multiple locations, allow for growth, and work with our existing software suite,” said The CPA Group’s Kurt Krueger (News - Alert). “Most importantly, we needed increased speed and efficiency, and a system that would be easy to manage.”

A comprehensive review from WSRB, equipment expertise from Cyberian, and a hosted VoIP solution from Appia combined to solve these issues, plus provide disaster recovery and mobility capabilities that have proved valuable.

“Everything just works,” said Krueger. “We’re able to serve our clients better.”

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
