Sacramento, Calif. (Mar. 26, 2007) - SOS, an expert in voice and data solutions for business, will present a day of free seminars on Voice over Internet Protocol technology on April 11 at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento. The day includes case studies on Sacramento-area companies and presentations by local executives.

The first half of the day is titled "Extend Your Contact Center with IP." After a free interactive breakfast, attendees will learn about Remote Contact Center Agent Technology Strategies and view a live demonstration. While most contact centers are forced to hire 1 of every 3 candidates just to fill seats, those that use home workers can choose from an average of 20 candidates for each open position, allowing managers to select the best from a broader range of skill sets and experience.

Then Chris Ewing, CEO of Cost-U-Less Insurance Services in Rancho Cordova, will discuss the lessons learned in moving a call center to an IP platform last year, and the dollar-for-dollar return on investment. Sacramento-based Cost-U-Less serves 600,000 Californians from its Rancho Cordova headquarters and 60 offices statewide. A question-and-answer panel will follow.

Following a complimentary lunch, the afternoon session will look at "Successful Strategies for IP Business Communications: How to Profit from VoIP in 2007." The afternoon includes a demonstration of Mobile Workforce Solutions. Unified communications gives mobile team members "anywhere access" to corporate files, a single inbox for e-mail, voice mail, faxes, calendaring and more. To explain how unified communications quickly pays off, SOS executives will discuss the mechanics and results of several regional firms' moves to IP communications.

Attendees of each seminar will also receive take-aways worth $1,000 that help put the day’s knowledge to work. The tools include a voucher for a RealityCheck Report that shows in detail how a company’s call center compares to hundreds of others (retail value $500 and offered in partnership with BenchmarkPortal).

To register for either seminar or both, go to www.team-sos.com/news-events/.

Those who cannot attend are still invited to check off the box “just send me the take-aways” and submit the registration form. They’ll get four of the 10 tools to be given out at the seminar.
