Have you heard of an offering from Nuance that could compete with Portico?

I spoke to someone from Ball Atlantic yesterday and they said demos from both Nuance and Portico looked very good. They also had some internal projects.

But somehow I think there could be some confusion here. People who are not directly involved can get products mixed up. Do you know of anything from Nuance that we should be aware of? Nuance has some impressive products for customer call centers which is another very hot area worth investigation. These offerings vary from simply receptionist replacements to systems that handle more complicated customer transactions.

It was interesting to hear that Sears catalog services cut it's staff of operators from3000 to 80 (this is from memory).

Regards,

Mark

PS Just for fun, if you want to try MIT's Jupiter Weather Information that is a test system for SR, the number is 1-888-573-8255
