Bechtle Expands its Solutions Portfolio with
CosmoCom Strategic Partnership

Virtual Contact Center Platform Enhances Offerings of
Leading German Systems Integrator

MELVILLE, NY – May 26, 2010 – CosmoCom, the global leader in Contact Center Consolidation 2.0, announced a strategic partnership with German-based Bechtle GmbH & Co KG, Darmstadt to provide advanced IP virtual contact center solutions in the DACH region of Central Europe.  Bechtle is one of Europe's leading IT service providers with more than 50 system houses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland serving more than 56,000 industrial, public sector and financial market customers.

Since 1983 Bechtle has been a trusted provider serving the wide and varied IT needs of enterprises in their region. To meet the growing demand for professional contact center solutions, they forged a strategic partnership with global virtual contact center technology provider CosmoCom. As a result Bechtle will serve as both distribution partner as well as systems integrator of CosmoCall Universe™ (CCU) in Central Europe.

"We extended our partnership with CosmoCom so we could provide robust, best-in-class solutions to customers with call and service centers," said Michael Sterker, Head of Business Communications at the Bechtle Rhein-Main system house. "We were impressed by CosmoCom’s unified contact center technology because it combines many of the functions typically implemented on multiple different systems in a single, multi-tenant platform. That greatly simplifies administration and reporting."

Bechtle as a systems integrator implements the CCU-based contact center solutions for enterprises as a multi-tenant platform or as an online service for the entire Bechtle Group in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. "The IP-based technology improves customer service while reducing costs," said Michael Sterker.

“With Bechtle, CosmoCom has gained a powerful partner in the Central European market,” commented Wolfhart Krischke, CosmoCom Managing Director Central and Eastern Europe. “Together, we can further extend the benefits of Contact Center Consolidation and CosmoCom’s Unified Customer Communications solutions to enterprises in the DACH region.”
