Contact Centre Technology


Square Systems has been providing independent technical services to contact centres and other companies for over a decade - see DTI factsheet on Computer Telephony Integration. We help businesses reap the benefit of developments in technology by creating tailored solutions that integrate with existing telephony and IT infrastructure.  Our consultants are contact centre technical managers with up-to-date knowledge of new technology - including open source technology.  Our market-leading IVR survey technology Opinion-8 makes extensive use of open source technology.

Square Systems technology will give you:

  • Independence: We are independent of any one hardware or software technology supplier.
  • Control: You decide what service you would like us to provide, whether advice on product options, help with installation and integration, bespoke software development or technology knowledge transfer.
  • Cost-efficiency: Using open source technology wherever possible reduces cost and means you are less likely to need future upgrades to expensive proprietory software.
  • Support: As required, from 24/7 to ad-hoc on demand support for technology provided.

IVR and speech recognition technology

IVR software allows two-way interaction without the need for contact centre staff to answer the call. Callers are typically asked to respond to recorded questions by using the telephone keypad. Automating services either partially or completely allows call centres to increase their call handling capacity. Customers benefit by improved access to information and reduced waiting time, whilst contact centre costs are reduced. Speech recognition software is an optional feature of IVR applications. IVR and speech recognition technology is now within the reach of all companies both large and small, and we can work with you to identify or tailor-make an application that meets your needs.
