QMS 8.2
Content Analyser
Transcriptions and other text-based recordings can be analysed for specific content, automatically tagging the relevant interaction or generating an alert. This is useful in identifying compliance breaches, competitor names, churn risk and more.
Transcription Accuracy Improvements
Enghouse QMS administrators can train the Speech-to-text transcription engine with words and phrases specific to their business and industry, enhancing business insights.
Compliance Recording for RingCentral
Enghouse Quality Management Suite customers and other businesses using the RingCentral platform can now access a complete compliance recording solution enabling legal evidence of customer interactions. Existing customers on legacy platforms can ensure a continuous recording service on migration to RingCentral and can be certain that both historic and new recordings are on the same system. New customers will benefit from encryption and digital watermarking technologies, ensuring recordings can be used as legal evidence during disputes.
QMS 8.1
Native Microsoft Teams Compliance Recording
Businesses that require Microsoft Teams compliance recording can now use QMS to record using the native Teams recording APIs, as well as through indirect methods, such as recording supported sessions border controllers used in Direct Routing, or via Enghouse Communications Centre (to learn more about our Enghouse Teams Contact Centre, visit our Teams Contact Centre page and watch our video). The recording API requires QMS to be hosted in Microsoft Azure. For this reason, Enghouse offers customers three recording methods for Teams, providing both hosted and on-premises options.
- Partners who host QMS will benefit from the new multi-tenant functionality added to QMS, which provides better economies of scale when hosting QMS for multiple customers
- QMS now supports the Ribbon SBC, commonly used in Cloud PBX environments, such as Microsoft Teams Direct Routing; the recording method uses the SIPREC protocol and QMS supports this method on a number of SBCs and gateway devices
- The QMS packet sniffing engine now natively shipping with the product is NPCAP, replacing the legacy WinPCap product and therefore improving the security of this QMS component
- A new QMS System Monitoring Guide has been created to enable customers to improve knowledge on monitoring and logging of QMS for fault tracking and identification.
QMS 8.0
New Analytics
- Enghouse QMS now offers conversation analytics that can be used to reveal valuable customer insights to assist your business. Use audio transcriptions and text recordings, combined with text analytics, to get a real understanding of your customers, helping you to identify trends, risks (e.g., churn), competitor feedback, or business opportunities.
- Text Interaction Analytics – QMS analyses text-based recordings for key words and phrases to identify risks, opportunities or trends (or missing elements) in customer interactions
- Voice Interaction Analytics – QMS transcribes the voice recording to test, so it can perform the same analysis, providing consistency across all channels
- A new heat map provides clear visual data to managers and supervisors

Alerts are now available for Call Recordings, Web Chats, Emails, Transcriptions and Screen Recordings. These can be delivered by Email and In-browser toast pop-ups, with configurable permissions.

- Start, pause, resume and stop recordings (PCI DSS use case).
