The versatile new development platform brings together the company's multichannel interaction management software and workforce optimization solution with Microsoft SharePoint, Lync and Dynamics CRM unified communications and collaboration technologies, providing an innovative foundation for next generation customer contact (NGCC) applications.

Aspect Applications Foundation helps companies deliver a differentiated customer experience by enabling organizations to be agile in how they respond to such challenges -- not only within the contact center but across the enterprise.
"Providing great customer service is more complex than ever, and now encompasses front and back office resources, social media engagement, proactive outreach efforts and self-service experiences," says Jim Foy, CEO, Aspect interaction management division. "The combination of interaction management, unified communications and workforce optimization solutions, popular enterprise technologies, and the expertise to make it all work together, is what's needed to meet the interaction demands of today's consumer."
Aspect Applications Foundation addresses the critical areas that often thwart customer-pleasing experiences while maximizing the efficiencies of business processes across the front and back office.

"One of the most compelling things about Aspect, aside from Seamless Customer Service™ meeting the needs we had defined, was the company's breadth of experience with Microsoft technologies and how their own leading contact center applications could work on top of that," said Wayne Dunn, SVP and CTO, HarborOne Credit Union. "That is what really enabled us to bring our vision of a connected enterprise to reality."
"Aspect's priority is to provide our customers with the tools needed for an innovative, individualized approach to customer experience in an increasingly crowded marketplace," adds Foy.
