(NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions to drive performance, today announced that ACCENT Marketing Services, a global provider of outsourced customer lifecycle management solutions, has expanded its strategic implementation of NICE SmartCenter with the addition of NICE Perform. ACCENT has been using NICE's workforce management solution, IEX TotalView, since 2007 and will now be expanding with NICE Perform to help improve agent performance for delivering the highest quality of customer service and to support compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

ACCENT's outsourced customer lifecycle management solutions include lead generation, customer care and technical support, cross- and up-sell campaigns, loyalty marketing campaigns, and product recall management using multiple channels such as phone, email, fax, and mail. ACCENT serves companies in a variety of vertical markets, including telecom, manufacturing, insurance, healthcare, and retail.

NICE Perform will provide ACCENT's contact center supervisors with enhanced technology and tools to support precision quality management for improving agent performance, customer satisfaction, and training effectiveness. It will also enable ACCENT's contact center supervisors to proactively evaluate and improve the quality of service provided to its clients' customers. By targeting key calls as well as correlating them with agent screen activity supervisors will be able to more accurately identify what agents can and should do to deliver world-class customer service, as well as to develop programs for performance improvement.

ACCENT will also use the NICE solution with its advanced media protection capabilities, including end-to-end media (voice and screen) encryption, to ensure compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), providing assurance to their clients that their customers' account information is safe. Using the NICE solution will help ACCENT decrease the risk associated with non-compliance and avoid punitive measures.

Our clients rely on us to help them acquire, support, retain and grow their customers.
