ASC Named New Siemens HiPath Ready Solution Partner
Innovative ASC applications complement Open Communications Systems ASC has reached the highest level possible in the technology partner program run by Siemens Enterprise Communications. An accolade that only ten companies in the world have achieved. Plus, ASC is a preferred supplier in the fields of voice recording and quality monitoring. Hoesbach/Germany, September 25, 2008 – ASC (www.asctelecom.com), a leading global provider of innovative solutions to record, analyze and evaluate communications, has been named by Siemens a HiPath Ready Solution Partner. That is the highest level that a technology partner working with Siemens Enterprise Communications can reach. With only ten companies world-wide having achieved this distinction, ASC’s confirmation as a Siemens HiPath Technology Solution Partner comes after years of longstanding and successful collaboration. In addition to proof of HiPath Ready Certification, a technology partner at the solution level (“joint business”) must be able to show that its products and applications integrate seamlessly with Siemens Open Communications systems. It must also operate on an international basis. ASC, by the way, is a Siemens Preferred Supplier in the fields of voice recording and quality monitoring. Thanks to the HiPath Ready Partner program, Siemens Enterprise Communications and approved technology partners combine their technical expertise in order to jointly make high-end products, solutions and applications available to their customers. Partnership involvement here ranges from testing the compatibility of partner products with those of Siemens Open Communications through reciprocal technology integration to the joint development of state-of-the-art products and solutions. “Our excellent partnership with Siemens Enterprise Communications enables us to optimally integrate our highly innovative products into Open Communications Systems to for the benefit of the customers,” says Harald Zapp, Chief Operating Officer at ASC. “At the same time, we can continue to expand our market position as an internationally leading supplier of intelligent speech analysis applications.” A statement that Dr. Udo Bochum, Vice President Partner Management at Siemens Enterprise Communications, was keen to confirm: “ASC systems are an outstanding complement to Siemens Unified Communications technologies. ASC is the only supplier of speech recording solutions who also leads the market for network-wide recording from one site. That means enormous cost-savings for users since the one central recording system can cover all locations across the network. Another unique selling point is ASC’s processing of encrypted calls. Meaning that the customers’ own security mechanisms and policies in the voice environment apply to speech recordings as well”.
