Drive Technology and UCN Roll Out inContact™ for Automotive Business Development
Centers
Salt Lake City – July 31, 2006 – UCN, Inc. (OTCBB:UCNN), a provider of on-demand
contact handling software and business telecommunications services delivered over
the UCN national VoIP network, and Drive Technology Group today announced a partnership
allowing Drive Technology Group to act as a sales agent for UCN’s inContact™
service.
Drive Technology Group, based in Charlotte, N.C., is a leading provider of business
intelligence solutions and professional services. Acting as an independent technology
advisor, Drive combines proven technology with project management and technical
integration expertise. The company focuses on a variety of industry segments, including:
retail automotive and financial industries. Its customer base includes over 2,200
automotive dealers located across the United States.
"Our goal is to deliver solutions that help our customers become more profitable,
more productive, and more focused on their core business," said Tim Dawson,
telecommunications vice president, Drive Technology Group. "We have customers
who have implemented inContact and reported productivity gains of two to four times
over their previous operational ranges. The inContact reporting tools provide management
information that in most instances was not previously available."
Additionally, Dawson sees the disaster recovery (DR) capabilities inherent in the
inContact solution as a great up sell to his larger accounts. By adding a UCN Intelligent-T
into a large account, Drive can now offer a $500,000 call center a disaster recovery
plan that enables them to be up and running within minutes, delivering most all
of the features and functionality they had with a $500,000 onsite hardware solution.
For those customers unsure of the benefits to be gained by adding advanced contact
handling features to their call centers, Drive intends to launch a "try-and-buy"
program around the inContact product roll out. "No hardware manufacturer is
going to send out $100,000 worth of gear, installation service, professional services,
programming and training without the customer having a lot of skin in the game,"
said Dawson. "With inContact, we can get them up and running quickly, with
minimal costs, under the UCN 30-day, money-back program. Now I can say to these
prospects, ‘Let’s give it a try and see how the solution performs for you.’"
Kevin Childs, executive vice president, UCN, said, "Drive Technology Group
is an excellent example of the type of value-added reseller UCN is actively seeking
as an inContact sales partner. They have a strong, professional services team and
established relationships in several key vertical markets for which inContact is
a perfect fit. We are delighted that Drive Technology finds inContact a great fit
for the market segments they serve so well."
