SAN CARLOS, CA (January 25, 2008) –

Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) today announced that the Virtual Call Center channel, sponsored by Contactual, has been launched as the newest addition to the TMCnet channel program.

The Virtual Call Center channel promotes on-demand contact center solutions and includes an overview of Contactual’s products. In addition, visitors can find valuable resources such as case studies, white papers, online product demonstrations, feature articles, and industry news.

TMCnet’s channels are micro-targeted information portals where readers can find topic-specific news, articles, feature stories and product reviews. TMCnet has over 70 channels covering important topics in the IP Communications, VoIP, IP Telephony, CRM, Call Center and Information Technology industries.

“Contactual is pleased to join forces with TMC, the leader of communications and technology media,” commented Mansour Salame, CEO at Contactual. “Taking advantage of TMCnet’s credibility and expertise in driving traffic will reinforce our branding and distinguish Contactual as a contact center solutions market leader.”

Contactual understands that contact centers are mission-critical to companies that sell products, answer questions, resolve technical support issues, take reservations, hand inquiries, and perform other customer-facing services. That’s why the company developed its OnDemand Contact Center Solution, a robust application that ties together all customer communication channels (e-mail, Web chat, phone, voicemail) and provides both standard and custom performance metrics. OnDemand Contact Center is the foundation for successful customer interactions, and enables companies to reap the benefits of setting up virtual call center operations.

“TMCnet welcomes Contactual’s Virtual Call Center channel into our program,” stated Dave Rodriguez, Vice President of Publications and Conferences, TMC. “They are a leading virtual contact center solutions company that shares our vision in the advancement of new technologies. Our channel program is a community-building vehicle assisting our partners in building their brand, while contributing to the vast array of valuable content which drives traffic to TMCnet, the most-visited communications and technology Web site in the world.”

TMCnet is the leading Web site for communications and technology professionals. TMCnet achieved a record breaking 3 million visitors and 30 million page views in July 2007 according to Webtrends.
