Release Notes 9.3

December, 2023

We are pleased to announce the release of Version 9.3!

New Deployment Model

Version 9 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 9.3.0 are supported.

New Features and Improvements

Quality Management UI enhancements – We are modernizing the look and feel of the UI. As we roll out the changes you will find the look of some screens and elements change. These changes do not affect feature functionality.
Speech Recognition Enhancements – Additional functionality has been deployed in this version. Take advantage of automated language identification or transcription tuning in this version.
Search by Emotion – Quickly find conversations in the Conversation Explorer based on the emotion of the agent, the customer or both.
WFM support for Absence Requests – Individuals can make requests for vacation from within Eleveo WFM. Managers can view all requests and approve or reject them from a single screen.
Organizational Hierarchy in WFM – Supervisors and managers can manage only agents that they supervise. This can be configured. Please refer to the documentation: Editing Users
