High Availability
That's Affordable, Reliable, Easy-to-Use

State-of-the-art high availability isn't as expensive and complex as you think. Not only does Echo2 cost about half of other solutions, it is so dependable, automated and self-managing that monitoring of the system usually takes less than an hour a day, and production-to-backup switchovers can be reliably accomplished in minutes.

Agent Integrator Adds a Human Touch to Call Center Software
by Alex Woodie

It can be one of the most irritating things when dealing with computerized telephone systems.
