UniverSum Teleservice Delivers Cloud Solutions that Operate Seamlessly across Multi-Vendor Telephone Answering Systems and Applications, as well as Funding Certain User Associations’ Efforts in Enhancing Member Benefits
OnviSource announced the successful deployment of its new initiative, UniverSum Teleservice. UniverSum Teleservice extends Company’s new Intelligent Transformation beyond Intelligent Automation™ strategy to the teleservice/telephone answering service (TAS) industry with the objective of transforming and establishing employee excellence, customer loyalty and business productivity.
As an industry, teleservices face a series of challenges and threats including the entry of larger competitors to their markets, AI-driven technologies and automation, labor shortages and costs to name a few. Many teleservice providers have started to realize the benefits of AI, new technologies, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud services. However, they are confronted with the cost and complexity of solutions, the resources required to maintain and use such solutions, and integration barriers across multi-vendor systems and software products.
“The rollout of UniverSum Teleservice focuses on directly addressing TAS industry challenges,” said Francisca Crous-Alegria, OnviSource Chief Revenue Officer. “It empowers the industry by offering an ecosystem of unified and enterprise-wide solutions combined with industry knowledge, best practices and education; collectively provided by a partnership program between a consortium of TAS vendors, service providers and users associations.”

UniverSum Teleservice delivers intelligent transformation to the TAS industry by providing Intellecta TeleServ, making AI-driven quality assurance (QA), analytics and automation highly affordable and available to industry users. Offered as cloud services, Intellecta TeleServ is easy to deploy and use. TAS customers such as Billie Clarke’s Answering Service and CallCenterUSA, who have deployed the solution, have experienced a dramatic improvement in their QA process and agent performance.

Improving agent performance will address labor shortages and costs to some extent by making existing agents highly productive and satisfied employees.
UniverSum Teleservice furthers industry unification by continuously integrating with a variety of TAS enterprise applications and adding them to its consortium of value-oriented vendors such as PeoplePraise, Joon and other resources. Such unification will assist TAS providers with integrated products at a lower cost of acquisition and usage.
