Toronto, Ontario — October 21, 2011

Campus Living Centers, the largest owner and operator of student housing in Canada, announced today that it is preparing for an entry into the United States market. Campus Living Centers works with colleges and universities that are seeking to enhance the student experience and achieve financial performance through the planning, design, financing and management of student housing and conference facilities. The company?s current portfolio is comprised of more than 13,000 student beds on 21 campuses across Canada.

?This is a very exciting time for Campus Living Centers ? our research confirms that the US student housing market represents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly with respect to small and mid-sized colleges and universities,? said Brian Freeman, Vice-President of Campus Living Centers. ?We have a solid track record that proves the success of our model. We are confident that our integrated service delivery can improve the operating performance of residences and enhance the student experience?.

An affiliate of Campus Living Centers has recently purchased a student housing development in Kalamazoo, Michigan, located adjacent to Western Michigan University, and plans to move into other US markets are being explored. Specifically, CLC provides schools with:

????Creative financing solutions for the creation of additional student housing on-campus;
????Management of existing residence facilities;
????Administrative support;
????Summer marketing of accommodation and conference space;
????New residence construction;
????Creative strategies for continued financial growth and expansion.

There are currently over 20,000,000 post secondary students in the United States and a significant number of these students live in purpose-built student housing or in traditional residences found on- campus. Given the need for additional student housing, combined with the desire to improve current housing stock, Campus Living Centers sees a significant opportunity to build on their proven model and serve the needs of post secondary clients in the United States.

?Since partnering with Campus Living Centers, we have realized significant financial gains, as well as a service delivery model that has had an immediate positive impact on students? said Shawn Chorney, Vice-President Student Services, Canadore College.. ?The management of our residences is streamlined and efficient, allowing the College the ability to focus on core academic initiatives, with the confidence in knowing that this vital aspect of campus life is being managed by proven professionals. In addition, Campus Living Centers is currently building a 200 bed residence on-campus that the company will also own and manage?.

Salt Lake City — October 31, 2008

UCN, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCNN), the market leader in on-demand contact center software for intelligent contact routing and agent improvement, has signed a renewable agreement for inContact? with a leading provider of insurance claims processing and management software solutions. The agreement includes services for more than 250 seats across two locations and is valued at more than $ 300,000 over the course of the first annual term.

Unlike the other hosted competitor the customer was considering, UCN provided the best suited contact handling connectivity as well as the necessary telecom framework. The new customer chose the inContact software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform to reduce operational costs and capital expense, while gaining greater functionality and flexibility for its customer service and technical support groups. It also required a solution to provide call recording and monitoring with real-time analytics and the ability to implement a remote workforce, something it was unable to affordably do with their previous premise-based system.

Said Paul Jarman, UCN CEO, “An increasing number of companies are committing to long-term relationships with UCN, selecting the inContact solution due to its flexible and scalable ‘all-in-one’ feature set. UCN continues to help companies save money and achieve new levels of efficiency and customer satisfaction while reducing total cost of ownership. We are delighted to have been chosen as the preferred technology provider over both premise and other hosted solutions”

Fredericton, NB (Vocus/PRWEB) January 26, 2011

Indosoft Inc, a global provider of call center software for Asterisk, today announced the successful deployment of Q-Suite at VVM?s contact center operation in Johannesburg, South Africa. This deployment of Q-Suite enables VVM to extend its IP-enabled contact center technology platform, as well as leverage some of the enhanced features and functions within the call center software, including the ability to do CTI integration into its existing business application using Q-Suite?s .NET API.

As a leading call center software for Asterisk, Q-Suite offers a feature-rich, and scalable out-of-the-box software, delivering full ACD functionality, including skills-based routing, queue prioritization and dynamic IVR development. Its dialer for Asterisk supports advanced features capable of running multiple concurrent outbound campaigns in Predictive, Preview and Progressive dialing modes. An industry leading script builder tool for agent customer interaction allows integration of web-enabled applications and CRM within Q-Suite?s unique web agent screen. Q-Suite offers .NET and socket API for CTI integration to Asterisk for existing business applications. Detailed reporting capabilities round out Q-Suite as a complete call center software solution that is bound to satisfy the functional requirements of most advanced call centers.

With this deployment, VVM has acquired a new generation contact center suite for its Asterisk telephony platform. Asterisk has rapidly advanced to become the dominant hybrid PBX, offering the unique ability to seamlessly blend IP and TDM connectivity, while Q-Suite delivers new generation call center ACD features to allow companies to expand their Asterisk telephony infrastructure with the right contact center technology. As such, the deployment enables VVM to significantly expand its technology capabilities, implement an IP-enabled contact center with all the advanced functional requirements of a mature industry, avoid proprietary equipment lock-in, and provide improved service levels at a reduced cost.

?We were looking for a complete call centre solution that complied with the complexities of our business,? stated James Guthrie, Chief Information Officer at VVM. ?We have an existing IP telephony platform across our business which includes Asterisk and were looking for a robust call centre solution that would operate on the Asterisk platform and could scale to accommodate growth. After evaluating numerous call center software solutions available on the market, we selected the Indosoft solution since we found that it best supported the features and functionality that we required. After a period of use, we are finding that the system exceeds our expectations. Furthermore, we have found the Indosoft team to be both professional and eager to assist during the implementation and post-deployment phase.?

?In today?s extremely competitive call center industry, being able to outperform the competition is essential for many companies, but this increase in performance cannot come at an increase in expenditure,? stated Gabe Bourque, Chief Operating Officer at Indosoft. ?Q-Suite?s unique ACD and its use of Asterisk telephony make it ideally suited for companies like VVM, which require additional functionality while implementing a cost-effective migration to IP platforms. Q-Suite?s Web Interface and its rich API for CTI integration allow businesses to fully preserve features of mature, existing applications while incorporating an industry leading ACD and its contact center features, as well as extending to new additional capabilities inherent to IP telephony. VVM has sourced a call center solution capable of delivering the functionality, performance and stability required, all while enhancing their platform to improve productivity and reduce cost.?
