SALT LAKE CITY and TAMPA, Fla., July 10, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- UCNN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- UCN, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCNN), innovator of on-demand contact center software for intelligent contact routing and agent improvement, reported Amacore Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACGI), of Tampa, Florida, has deployed UCN(TM) inContact(R) as a replacement for its premises-based Nortel contact center technology. Additionally, the company has immediate plans to utilize the UCN eLearning and workforce management products.

The Amacore Group offers a range of healthcare options for uninsurable, underinsured, and uninsured consumers within its two national provider networks, Amacore Vision and Amacore Dental. The company selected inContact to consolidate disparate call center functions into one system. InContact provides an open architecture with customizable reporting, support for at-home workers, and true business continuity allowing real-time call rollover to Amacore's other call centers. Multiple locations act like one location while improving managerial control.

"The difference with inContact is night and day," said Gaston J. Fouche Jr., Amacore director of information technology. "The open architecture facilitated the integration with our proprietary back office application (L.I.S.A.), creating a single system to manage our multi-site call center business. Since inContact is hosted, we can easily route calls to our agents and call centers throughout the United States."

"Partnering with UCN is the single biggest thing we have done to improve our customer service with a major positive impact to our bottom line," said Bill Heneghan, Amacore chief marketing officer. "The functions we have developed with UCN create additional revenue streams for our company. We also have greater insight into our call center performance with real-time reporting, even at the remote agent level. We are creating the next generation of insurance agents."

Amacore benefits from the ease and flexibility of the inContact development tools in building custom applications and allowing the IT staff to react faster to company needs. "The inContact hosted model simplifies all call center functions, yet allows us the flexibility and control that we need," said Fouche. "The inContact platform is now the umbrella that covers and protects all of our locations. It is a complete solution to manage, monitor and ensure quality and consistent service for all our agents and call centers."

UCN CEO Paul Jarman commented: "UCN's inContact solution has enabled companies like Amacore to affordably implement telework programs for their contact centers. It is becoming increasingly critical for companies to turn to the work-at-home model to attract and retain quality agents while combating the continual rise in fuel costs and high agent turnover. UCN's ability to deliver call routing and agent performance tools for the remote worker responds to this growing concern in the marketplace."
