BTSLogicBTSLogic provides Directory Assistance and Information Services solutions to telecommunications carriers and operator services companies worldwide. BTSLogic’s commitment to seamless integration and standards based architecture enables our customers to set the standard for customer service while delivering innovative products.

BTSLogic's SEDA™ (Speech Enabled DA) seamlessly integrates the BTS-DA™ Search Engine, VoxLinx™ Multi-Modal IVR, and enhanced screen pop technology featuring Continuous Knowledge Retention™. Seamless integration means better service: in 2004, the Paisley Group certified that the SEDA at Consolidated Communications achieved a customer care grade of 90.5, the highest among automated DA services, and rivaling the best operator services. The same system has an automation rate of over 50%.

BTSLogic’s flagship product, BTS-DA Search Engine, uses proven database technologies such Oracle and PostgreSQL instead of proprietary, vendor-controlled databases. BTS-DA’s flexibility allows delivery of innovative services such as Enhanced DA, location-based services, speech automation, and SMS/MMS/Web/WAP access. BTS-DA’s stability and short search time allow non-stop delivery of high quality customer service. For example, Eniro Sweden (ENIRO118118) has used BTS-DA to deliver a map/“find the nearest” service. Eniro1181118 was the winner of 118 Directory Enquiries award for “Best European Directory Enquiry Service” in 2004.
