'All our partners are committed to offering the most innovative yet practical solutions anywhere for contact centre automation, enterprise IP telephony, enterprise messaging, self-service automation and SIP-supported VoIP,' said Brendan Maree, ANZ Country Manager, Interactive Intelligence, in a statement. 'Tecala Group has superior skills in providing solutions for public and private sector clients which enhance the opportunities provided through the intelligent application of technology while adding value to the business.

The all-in-one IP communications software suite was first introduced by Interactive Intelligence in 1997. This standards-based, single-platform architecture with built-in multichannel processing was born of a vision to eliminate the cost and complexity introduced by multi-point products.
'Many vendors can offer communications but Interactive Intelligence is rare in its all in one approach to software integration and customization. It will enable our customers to obtain a competitive advantage through a superior technology platform,' said Serafim.
Interactive Intelligence announced last fall that it was honored by Frost & Sullivan with the 2009 North American Product Differentiation Award for the vendor's new communications-based process automation solution, Interaction Process Automation, or IPA.
Last week, Interactive Intelligence touted a new win in Langham Logistics as the company decided on Enterprise Interaction Center from Interactive Intelligence over products from Cisco and Mitel.
