EADS TELECOM North America’s centergy linguist opens contact center door to any language, anytime

A revolutionary language conversion program that allows contact center customers and agents to instantly select from up to 50 languages of their choice was introduced today by EADS TELECOM North America.

Centergy™ Linguist provides access to 50 languages and more than 100 levels of proficiency. With a single keystroke or phone prompt, Centergy Linguist changes all of Centergy™ M7480’s solution components globally to the customers’ and agents’ language of choice. The application converts all agent information to the selected language, making it easier for the agents to communicate in the customers’ preferred language.

Centergy Linguist instantly converts voice prompts and on-screen information to the language selected by the customer and routes the call to the agent most proficient in that language, setting a new standard for personalized customer service. Based on Unicode, virtually any language can be programmed into the application.

“Effective communication is the baseline of good customer service, and an essential requirement for business everywhere,” said Stephane Angelot, vice president of product line management for EADS TELECOM North America. “Centergy Linguist totally eliminates the language barrier, opening the door to better customer interactions.”

Centergy M7480 is a Windows-based, multimedia contact center solution that resides on a single server and comfortably scales from five to 500 agents. In addition, its modular design allows companies to purchase only the options they need while leaving capacity for growth. Centergy M7480 also includes Centergy™ Conductor, a new revolutionary contact center management tool.
