CosmoCom Selected as Microsoft Launch Partner for
Customer Care Framework 2008

MELVILLE, NY – December 4, 2007 – CosmoCom, the global leader in Call Center Consolidation 2.0, announced today the latest development in its relationship with Microsoft Corp. CosmoCom is a launch partner for Microsoft’s Customer Care Framework 2008, and the solution will be pre-integrated with CosmoCom’s CosmoCall Universe.

Large enterprises with globally dispersed contact center operations and disparate, incompatible legacy applications often suffer from incomplete integrations that hamper contact center agents and frustrate customers. CosmoCall Universe is a contact center communication platform that consolidates geographically scattered contact center agents, directing each incoming call to the most appropriate agent regardless of location, and automatically presenting the information the agent needs to make that customer interaction a success. It complements Customer Care Framework 2008, which aggregates customer information from any number of business applications, providing a better integration between communications and customer data.

CosmoCom’s pre-integration of the two solutions makes enterprise deployment of a complete, integrated contact center solution faster and easier.

"Integrating the two major facets in any customer care organization--the information platform and the communication platform--to achieve improved efficiency and customer experience is a major roadblock to contact center success," said Ari Sonesh, CosmoCom Chairman and CEO. "CosmoCall Universe, integrated with Microsoft Customer Care Framework 2008, is a solution that meets this challenge by aggregating line-of-business applications with the communication platform to achieve dramatic improvement in customer interactions."

"The integration of all communication channels and media with the applications necessary to support customer interactions is absolutely essential for enabling a quality customer experience," said Vish Thirumurthy, group manager, Industry Solutions Group at Microsoft. "Our relationship with CosmoCom enables us to deliver a comprehensive solution that seamlessly provides accurate information through any channel and delivers a consistent and satisfying customer experience."

Customer Care Framework 2008 was released by Microsoft Nov. 14, and both solutions are currently available.
