Altitude Software Starts to Deliver Cloud Contact Center Solutions in Scandinavia


Altitude Cloud Brings Modular Solutions, Reduced Costs and More Flexibility to a Very Competitive Market Orebro, Sweden, and Lisbon, Portugal, May 15th, 2012 Altitude Software, a global leader in contact center technology, today announces that it has started to deliver cloud contact center solutions in Scandinavia, following the acquisition of a majority of Sweden-based Software-as-a-Service provider ASP Nordic from private investors.



The new venture advances the delivery of next generation cloud solutions, under the Altitude Cloud brand, initially with a focus on Scandinavia. Since 2008, ASP Nordic has been an Altitude Software partner, running operations in the Cloud for thousands of users in leading contact centers in Scandinavia. The transaction financial details were not disclosed.

"Altitude Software's investment in Sweden underlines the strategic importance of the Northern Europe market as an early adopter of Cloud software solutions to manage customer service operations. Increasingly, companies prefer to focus on their core business and use advanced technology solutions delivered by reliable specialized providers", states Gastão Taveira, Altitude Software CEO. “The new venture combines the Cloud provider experience of the Swedish team with the global product skills of the Altitude Software team to present a powerful Contact Center in the Cloud offering in the market”.


Altitude Cloud empowers contact center operations to focus on business Altitude Cloud Contact Center is a completely modular solution that can be up and running within a matter of hours with little to no capital investment. Contact Center operations are able to scale up or down based on demand, while optimizing resources and saving time and money. Free from IT management tasks, contact centers can focus on their core business relationships to become more productive and competitive.

"In the last few years, as cloud computing has fast become a top priority for decision makers and investors on the Nordic region, we have developed and refined SaaS offerings, providing contact centers with very competitive solutions", stated Henrik Sjostrand, General Manager for Altitude Cloud in Sweden. "The Altitude Software investment enables us to take the next step and provide leading edge contact center business solutions requiring minimum investment, no specific IT knowledge or competencies, while providing user friendly self-service and management tools".

Contact Centres in Northern Europe can now benefit from a new generation of powerful applications to manage multi-channel interactions, directed at sales, telemarketing, customer service, debt recovery and other business needs. From voice self-service to intelligent routing, from outbound to inbound dialling, from desktops to knowledge base integration, Altitude Cloud Contact Centre has solutions to speed the roll-out of new campaigns and services, enforce confidentiality and security. Key advantages to having operations in Sweden are the ability to leverage the operational experience gained in Cloud services, the strong platforms for Data Centers in Scandinavia and the customization of easy to use management tools that gives contact centre managers the ability to maximize business in real time. The new venture becomes the latest addition to a network of Altitude Software offices covering 16 countries in four continents.
