UTOPY, Inc., provider of enterprise solutions for Customer Intelligence through speech analytics, recently announced a mutual reseller agreement with VPI, a leading provider of integrated interactions recording and proactive workforce optimization (WFO) applications.

The partnership enables UTOPY and VPI customers to extract actionable customer insights by leveraging UTOPY's state-of-the-art speech analytics solution and VPI's award-winning call recording technology. The integrated technologies allow customer-centric organizations to perform ongoing and in-depth analysis on emerging trends, identify new opportunities and address areas for improvement.

"Fundamentally, this relationship is about enhancing the business intelligence we provide to our customers. VPI is clearly leading the way for recording and performance management," said Roy Twersky, CEO and president of UTOPY. Twersky continues, "UTOPY is taking the powerful recordings delivered by VPI and extracting meaningful data that is simply unavailable from any other source. Forward-thinking businesses who conduct significant business over the phone are rapidly realizing how vital it is to gain access to this mission-critical information."

Donna Fluss, industry analyst at DMG Consulting, observes that leading companies are increasingly looking to solution providers to deliver product suites that address their workforce optimization and analytical needs. "Speech analytics empowers companies to understand customer insights, needs and wants and has quickly become one of the fastest growing applications in the contact center market," explained Fluss.
