Release Notes 9.2

October, 2023

We are pleased to announce the release of Version 9.2!

New Deployment Model

Version 9.2 is a cloud-only software as a service deployment. Many legacy deployments will not be fully compatible with the new Cloud Architecture. For customers who wish to maintain their on-premise recording solution, Eleveo supports Hybrid deployments. In a hybrid setup, your recorders remain on-premise, but your media records are uploaded to the Eleveo Cloud for playback and review. Contact your local Eleveo representative for more details.

Upgrading?

Upgrades from previous versions (6.x, 7.x and 8.x ) are NOT supported. Data migration is partially supported. For details related to data migration, please speak with an Eleveo representative.

Upgrades from V 9.x to V 9.2.0 are supported.

New Features and Improvements

Full-text search – Enhancements to Speech Recognition enable users to search for words or phrases in transcribed recordings from within the Conversation Explorer.
Speech Tags – Speech Tags have been reintroduced in V 9.2. Functionality for users is very similar to previous versions. One thing to note is that speech tags and phrases must be configured before calls are processed by the speech recognition engine in order for Speech Tags to be identified. Re-scan functionality is not currently implemented.
Automated Quality Management enhancements – Eleveo Automated Rules have been enhanced. A wider variety of attributes are now supported. Create rules that assess conversations based on Agent, Customer, or Conversation-specific attributes.
WFM Intraday Management – Introduced in V 9.1.1 Intraday management monitors the current day's volumes and trends. Having this data available and comparing it to the original forecast enables the schedule to be updated based on actual volumes and calculated trends.

New Release Policy

Version 9.2 is a Feature To Market Version (F2M).
We will continue to provide long-term support for Version 7.x – Important dates are listed here.
Please review the Release Policy to familiarize yourself with the changes.
