IN THE SPOTLIGHT

NetVision Improving Customer Service With Nortel Contact Centre Solution AIRPORT CITY, Israel - NetVision Ltd., one of Israel's leading Internet solutions providers, has deployed solutions from Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT] for its new contact centres to deliver accurate, prompt service to its business customers and consumers nationwide.
NetVision's new contact centre systems are making it possible for the company to respond quickly to customer inquiries by promptly routing them to the most appropriate of its 300 service agents with pop-up screens of account information to personalize assistance. Minimizing customer wait times and unnecessary referrals among agents helps enhance customer service and improve agent productivity while eliminating network bottlenecks and reducing operational costs.

"NetVision's new system from Nortel allows us to serve our large customer base much more efficiently through a seamless operation of our contact centre sites," said Yuval Tzeiri, vice president, technology, NetVision.

"Everything pertaining to customer service is of exceptional importance to NetVision because continuing commitment to excellence in service is a core focus of our operations."

"By implementing Nortel's advanced and cost-effective solution, NetVision is not only gaining flexibility for increased organizational efficiency, it is also better equipped to add new features as its business requires," said Sorin Lupu, president, Israel, Poland and South Eastern Europe Region, Nortel.

The Nortel Contact Centre solution integrates with the Nortel Contact Centre Manager and the Nortel Communication Server 1000M platform to allow customer service agents to build on NetVision's initiative to offer specially tailored services designed to meet each customer's unique requirements. Implementation of the enhanced call centre was completed by Nortel channel partner GlobCall and in cooperation with Aspire A.S., a developer and integrator for Nortel.

Nortel has also upgraded NetVision's existing telephony system based on the Nortel Communication Server 1000 solution, demonstrating the continued success of the relationship between the two companies.
"Implementation of the project - one of the largest and most sophisticated in the country - illustrates the successful, ongoing cooperation between the companies," said Erez Aharoni, vice president, sales and business development, GlobCall. "The current deployment joins a series of similar projects recently performed by GlobCall using Nortel solutions."

The new system provided by Nortel enables NetVision to define the parameters needed to promote smooth operation of the call centre, such as real-time prioritization and call routing based on agent proficiency, subscriber identification, workforce dynamics and more. The system is also designed to provide instant account histories via pop-up screens. In addition, this solution can offer insight as to the quality of service and level of performance.

The contact centre solution also includes Nortel CallPilot*, a unified messaging application for businesses that combines voice mail, e-mail and fax messages into a single mailbox accessible by phone or any browser-enabled PC; and Nortel Telephony Manager, an advanced management application that provides an integrated suite of management tools for configuration, control, and analysis.
Aspire implemented the SFDA PRO solution to provide full integration between Nortel's CTI platform and NetVision's databases and software via Web services, and the DialTone Dialer.
