Live Chat Platform - Cloudagent Chat

The next big leap for Ozonetel's communication platform. Cloudagent is already the platform of choice for cloud call centers with more than 1000 businesses using it to power their communications. From today, all these businesses and new ones too can use the same stable platform to power their web site chat communications too.

In 2009-2010, we introduced cloud telephony in India through our KooKoo platform. What was new at that time has become the standard now with businesses adopting the cloud for their communication needs. Last year, we realized that the Cloudagent platform that we had built was one of a kind and its design would work for other communication channels too. We even rebranded our company messaging from Cloud Telephony to Cloud Communication. The first outcome of that thought process is Cloudagent Chat.

Cloudagent chat contains all the robust features of Cloudagent. Skill assignments, Live agent monitoring, Queues, numerous dashboards and reports. In fact, existing Cloudagent customers can just opt for the new add on and have blended agents who can receive calls and also chat with online customers. This is a one of a kind solution which is not available anywhere else.

With this step we are now in competition with Zopim, Olark and other live chat platforms. But we believe that we have a unique offering and our offering will be much cheaper than any other solution.

Getting started is simple.
If you are an existing customer, please contact your account manager or send a mail to support. We will get in touch with you and help you setup.

If you are a new customer:
1. Signup
2. Once you buy the solution, we will share a javascript snippet which you have to embed on your site.
3. Ask your agents to login and start receiving chats.

The current signup process is manual. You will be contacted by our sales team to help you setup as this is an early release version. Very soon we will have an online only onboarding process.

Google's approach to business communication

Google has been making silent moves in the business communication space. Google has mostly lost the instant messaging wars. But it does not want to lose the business communication war. WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook have been making their own moves to enable businesses to reach their customers through their channels. Its all about who has control over the communication channels. Especially communication which leads to business. That's where the money is. Currently, Google is the king of search and most online transactions start with a Google search. FB, Amazon, Apple and others want to change that. They want the search to start on their properties. And they have started making the moves. WhatsApp business allows small businesses to conduct their transactions on WhatsApp. FB and Instagram have long supported small businesses to manage their business on their channels. Apple has also made some nice moves with Apple business chat. They have integrated a whole shopping expe...

Telugu ASR speech data collection

Image Source: IIIT-H Developing an indigenous ASR for Indian languages has been a goal for us since a long time. In that regard we have been experimenting a lot, trying out various neural network architectures. While doing these experiments we found that there was no good dataset for Indian languages. While discussing with IIIT professors we got to know that the government of India was also exploring options to generate a good dataset. We immediately offered our help and our platform for this endeavor. So, as a starting step we have come up with a few campaigns to encourage users to donate speech data. We wanted to make it fun, so our first few campaigns are along the lines of JAMs(Just a Minute speech topics) etc. A topic will be provided and you need to speak for a minute on that topic. We have started this campaign for college students to start with. Of course anyone can participate and contribute their data. The more the merrier :) We will adding a lot more innovative ways ut...

Ozonetel. Take 2, The Text Edition

Ever since we introduced cloud telephony to India in 2009, Ozonetel has always been known as the go to startup for cloud telephony requirements like cloud call centers and virtual numbers. Voice has been our mainstay for a long time and it will continue to be so in the future too. But starting this month, we at Ozonetel have decided to have an increased focus on text based communication channels in addition to voice channels. It's not that we did not support these channels earlier. We already supported, chat and some email functionality. But it has been in bits and pieces only. But starting this month text channels, including email, chat and social media will become First Class Citizens in our stack. They will get the same love that our voice channels get. Unsplash To achieve this we have planned several upgrades to our platform which will unfold over the coming weeks. Here is a sneak peak of what we are planning. Built in Contact Manager: This has bee...
