Serenova, the most globally scalable contact centre-as-a-service (CCaaS) provider, has announced that it has completed the acquisition of TelStrat, a leading provider of call recording, quality, analytics, and workforce management (WFM) solutions. The acquisition plays a pivotal role in Serenova’s mission of enabling simpler, brighter customer experiences that drive revenue, retention, and loyalty. With the addition of TelStrat’s team and customers, Serenova now serves more than 1,100 customers and is the second largest independent CCaaS provider worldwide.
Consumer expectations for a reliable, always-on customer experience begins with contact centre management and how agents are empowered to deliver on organisational promises. For that reason, enterprises are focused on finding innovative ways to provide the best possible customer experience with workforce engagement strategies that address staffing, coaching, and training needs. By adding TelStrat’s Engage Workforce Optimization (WFO) product line to the already robust Serenova portfolio, customers now have access to native, easy-to-use, world-class WFO capabilities that deliver fast adoption and enhanced ROI. Coupled with Serenova’s commitment to an API-First architecture, customers have even more freedom of choice in how they build, deploy, and run their contact centre for optimum performance.
“Combining the power of CCaaS and WFO allows Serenova customers to quickly realise benefits to their bottom line through the reduction of employee and customer churn, enhanced contact efficiency, and increased customer satisfaction,” said Tom Schollmeyer, CEO of Serenova.
“Our acquisition of TelStrat’s technology and expertise allows Serenova the opportunity to provide its customers with a natively-integrated solution for CCaaS and WFO, and to accelerate its own revenue growth through cross-sell and channel synergies. And, because we believe strongly in offering an open, flexible platform to our customers and the market, we remain firmly committed to our existing WFO and WFM partnerships with Verint, Calabrio, and Teleopti as well.”

It delivers tools for compliance and disaster recovery recording, service quality assurance, agent performance improvement and workforce management, as well as analytics and reporting.
