Data Balance Extends Microsoft Office Communications Server in Partnership with OrecX
Clearwater, Florida, December 15, 2009 — In a landmark move, Microsoft Gold Certified managed services partner Data Balance has partnered with OrecX to test and verify call recording and live monitoring solutions through the use of Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 (OCS 2007).
With many of Data Balance’s clients requiring the use of call recording or live monitoring for legal, compliance, human resource, training, and coaching purposes, the company saw it fit to look for a solution that incorporates these features with their existing platform, as OCS normally does not include support for call recording or live monitoring of voice calls. OrecX was Data Balance’s first choice to make this integration happen.
“We at Data Balance have always believed in entering into partnerships such as this that make both parties involved grow and progress – that’s the nature of a successful business,” says Jon Lawrence, president of Data Balance. “OrecX has a great reputation in the call and VoIP industry and we feel they’re the best partners we could possibly have for this venture,” he adds.
Lawrence is confident that his new venture will enable Data Balance to better respond to the needs of its clients through the use of OCS’ unified communications platform. Data Balance had previously entered in a similar pioneering collaboration earlier this year with Sangoma Technology Corporation where they used OCS’ unified communications platform in conjunction with Sangoma’s A101D telephony card, with very positive results.
OrecX co-Founder Steve Kaiser is likewise thrilled at the opportunity to work with Data Balance on the project.
“We’re very grateful for the confidence Jon and his team have in us,” says Kaiser. “We believe we’re up to the task of making something ground-breaking like this happen. It’s a great learning experience for us, as well as a challenge to show our expertise.”
