With proven integration to the installed system, the NICE interaction recording solution will provide operators with integrated search and replay of stored recordings direct from the operator console enabling the delivery of a rapid response to every call for assistance.

The new systems will be installed in a virtual environment enabling recordings to be captured from analogue, digital and IP extensions at the two separate locations whilst sharing the council’s existing data network infrastructure. Sinclair Voicenet is also providing secure, centralised data storage allowing the council to store recordings from the CCTV and IT Solutions Centre for seven years and six months respectively.
