Cable & Wireless Partnership

Netcall PLC 30 August 2007 30th August 2007 NETCALL PLC ('Netcall' or 'the Company') Cable & Wireless partnership agreement Netcall plc (NET), a leading provider of callback, auto-messaging and contact solutions, is pleased to announce that it has signed a new 3-year strategic partnership agreement with Cable & Wireless Europe, Asia & US. The new distribution agreement will see Cable & Wireless integrating a hosted platform into its existing infrastructure to deliver Netcall's flagship product QueueBuster as part of its product and service portfolio. QueueBuster helps reduce call centre queues by offering callers the option of accepting an automated call-back, instead of waiting on hold. The call-back option can be tailored to meet particular customer service objectives, depending on a customer's specific requirements. The agreement builds upon an existing relationship which has seen the Company supplying Cable & Wireless with QueueBuster as a product and hosted solution using Netcall's infrastructure. The offering has proven to be a success with clients such as STA Travel. The integration of Netcall's solution into Cable & Wireless' existing infrastructure will allow multiple users to access QueueBuster simultaneously, as well as facilitating a simpler and more cost effective deployment process for C&W's customers. Henrik Bang, CEO of Netcall commented: 'A key part of our strategy has been to widen our market reach through partnerships with leading industry players. We are therefore delighted to have signed this new agreement with Cable & Wireless, expanding our partnership further, which to date has proven very beneficial.' Alex Connors, Cable & Wireless' business manager for CCS and telebusiness, added: 'Our main priority is to provide our big business customers with a service experience second to none. QueueBuster has helped us to do that. Now, by taking the technology a step further and integrating it into our platform, we can provide a broader and more attractive offering to our customers.'
