GVC3200 Android-based Video Conferencing System Honored for Exceptional Innovation

Boston, MA (March 23, 2016)

Grandstream announced that TMC, a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online, has named the Grandstream GVC3200, a ground-breaking video conferencing system, as a 2016 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award winner.

The GVC3200 is Grandstream’s revolutionary HD video conferencing device that is changing the way businesses experience conferencing. Packed with unprecedented flexibility and support for multiple popular video conferencing protocols and platforms, the GVC3200 offers a powerful platform with state-of-the-art video features and an intuitive user interface at an unprecedented price point.

The GVC3200 offers market-leading flexibility by supporting most third-party SIP, H.323 and Android video conferencing platforms and applications, in addition to Grandstream’s robust IPVideoTalk Video, Audio and Web Conferencing service. In December of 2015, the GVC3202 Video Conferencing device was launched to offer a slightly lower capacity option within the GVC3200 series.

“It gives me great pleasure to honor Grandstream as a 2016 recipient of TMC’s Unified Communications Product of the Year Award for their innovative product, the GVC3200,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “Our judges were very impressed with the ingenuity and excellence displayed by Grandstream in their groundbreaking work on the GVC3200.”

Winners of the 2016 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award will be published in the April 2016 edition of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

Better manage your business with Xima Realtime monitoring. While the Cradle to Grave view and Chronicall’s detailed reports allow you to see call data after calls have ended, the Xima Realtime module uses live data about agents, hunt groups, and queues to provide customizable displays and information at a glance. This is true real-time, there is no five-second refresh rate. As soon as a call comes in, or an agent’s status changes, Chronicall incorporates the new data into the unique Agent Timeline, Group Timeline, and Realtime Canvases.

With the Agent Timeline, you can see each agents’ current activities and statuses in a simple timeline format. Unlike other reporting software that only shows what agents are doing at the moment, the Agent Timeline leaves behind a record of each agent’s behavior in the past. This gives a contextual understanding of the data and allows the ability to make critical decisions with confidence and accuracy.

Accurate queue statistics are vital for efficient call center management. The Group Timeline displays these statistics for each hunt group with a set of continuously updating graphs representing the number of queued calls, the longest wait time, and the average wait time side by side. As calls enter or leave a hunt group’s queue, the graphs change accordingly, giving you the knowledge you need in order to adjust your resources in real time.

Turn any screen into a wall board with a Realtime Canvas. Create updating text, marquees, charts, graphs, and images to turn a blank white screen into a customized information portal for yourself or your entire team that looks and works like your own custom-branded software.

With Realtime, you can even run reports on an agent’s status information over a period of time, like idle time, time spent logged into a group, or time spent in Do Not Disturb status. Since these reports plug directly into the familiar Chronicall interface, you can start running them right away.

With Chronicall’s revolutionary Agent Dashboards module, you can take Realtime data out of the web browser and onto the desktop. Agents can keep track of customized Realtime data with desktop widgets. Pop-up notifications provide information and tagging options for inbound and outbound calls. Chronicall Presence offers an easy way to see the status of other Realtime agents and send them chat messages.

Once an agent logs in to Agent Dashboards, they’ll be able to view live call data with a desktop widget, customized with Realtime values that fit their needs. Agents can monitor statistics about themselves, their hunt groups, or the entire system without opening Chronicall or looking at a wallboard; everything they need to know is available on their own screen at all times. The Agent Dashboards window can be resized or docked for maximum flexibility, while multiple animation settings allow agents to choose the style they like best.

Agent Dashboards also generates helpful pop-up windows for the agent whenever they make or receive calls, set themselves on DND status, or log out of their extension. These windows allow them to see who is calling and where they are calling from, assign account codes and hunt groups to calls, and give a reason why they are stepping away from the phone. All of this information is stored in Chronicall’s database and can be used to generate detailed reports.

Chronicall Presence is another Agent Dashboards desktop utility that lists the current status of each Realtime agent, along with their agent image, extension, and current call details. Through Presence, agents can even chat and send files to each other or to customers throughout the world. Every chat message is stored within Chronicall and can be reviewed or reported on later.

Take some of the work out of teamwork. Turn each agent’s desktop into a powerful and connected Chronicall workstation with Agent Dashboards.

With the Xima Recording Library module, the calls you record with your phone system will be automatically cataloged and ready to listen to from within the Cradle to Grave interface. Finding your recorded calls has never been so simple.

When a recording is created, Xima Recording Library takes the file and compresses it into an efficient Speex (.spx) file, which is optimized for high quality voice playback. Recordings like this typically take up 100 KB of file storage per minute. This means that with only 32 GB of storage space, you could record an agent for eight full hours every workday for two years.

Xima Chronicall intelligently matches each recording with the appropriate call and places a small icon next to that call’s data within Cradle to Grave. This gives you yet another way to easily search, filter, and sort your calls to quickly find the information you need.

Clicking on a recording icon opens an audio player within Cradle to Grave, allowing you to listen to the call instantly. Stop, mute, rewind, fast forward, and jump to any position as easily as you would with any other media player, all without opening any other windows or programs.

Sharing recordings with others is as simple as typing an email address. Send .spx or .wav files to as many recipients as you want without the need to download and attach them over a separate email client. If you want to save a backup copy of a recording or play it later, you can download it to your computer with a few simple clicks

Chronicall is available to install on Windows and Linux operation systems.

Chronicall is supported on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 2003, 2008, 2012 r1 & r2.

Chronicall can be installed on Linux Debian and Red Hat-based (Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora) Linux servers.

Please note that you must have Oracle’s Java 7 or 8 installed prior to the installation.

Xima’s “Minimum Server Requirements” are 125GB Hard Drive, 2 Gigs of RAM, and a Dual Core Processor. However, if your customer increases the amount of Realtime Agent licenses, or call recording you will want to increase the PC’s hard drive space, RAM and processor so Chronicall can perform at its optimal performance.

To get an exact recommendation for your customers please contact your Xima reseller.

Please note that Chronicall is NOT supported by Xima Software or Avaya to be installed on the same server as IP Office Server Edition or the Application Server. Simply install Chronicall on another PC / Server on the network.
