There are over 30 quality management/liability recording vendors, many of whom have tools that can address your needs. These applications do quality assurance (including agent evaluations and reporting) and recording (random and 100%) for calls and screens. They often have additional modules for performance management, speech analytics, surveying, eLearning and coaching. Most of these vendors allow users to select the modules they want, although a couple provide packaged offerings.

These applications have been around for close to 20 years, but in the last three they have improved dramatically. They were adequate in the past, but now provide users with outstanding benefits that improve the customer experience and yield a rapid payback of approximately nine to 12 months.

The four largest vendors in this market are NICE Systems, Verint Systems, Witness Systems and etalk. However, there are many other vendors that you may also want to consider, including Mercom, Envision, Voice Print, HigherGround and Wygant. There are also emerging vendors, such as CallCopy. If you are looking for a hosted recording/quality management solution, you may want to consider VoiceLog. All of these vendors provide solutions that can meet the needs of your organization, as described in your question. All of the vendors listed above have strong recording/logging systems, however, some of these solutions have stronger quality assurance modules than others.
