Washington, DC August 12, 2008 -- CAPTEL and 3CLogic announced the launch of foneathon™, a web-based telephone contact software application suite, to more fully engage volunteers in soliciting donations, organizing political action campaigns or get-out-the-vote (GOTV) initiatives. foneathon™ offers the same features, tools and functionality as the systems used by large professional call centers.
foneathon for work at home volunteers
"We wanted the capability to quickly set up large numbers of volunteers to campaign for various causes. Our clients wanted to give their volunteers the flexibility and ease of working from home or from phone banks. With foneathon™ we are able to create and launch virtual call centers with volunteers working from anywhere in the country," said Phil Smith, President and CEO of CAPTEL.
foneathon™ enables an authorized volunteer or organizational member to login remotely to the foneathon™ system via a web browser and to call targeted names from an organization's database. The system provides all the tools necessary for a volunteer or organization to conduct a successful "peer-to-peer, colleague-to-colleague or neighbor-to-neighbor" calling campaign, including suggested scripts, prior contributions or voting history of the contact, and forms to capture response information, including donations and voting preferences. Moreover, the system generates detailed reports and response data files for action and follow-up, including credit card contributions, opinions and voting preferences, and GOTV campaigns.
"foneathon™ leverages the Internet and personal computers to create a VoIP-based Telephony Application Grid (TAG) that can galvanize large numbers of volunteers for multiple campaigns. It brings unprecedented momentum, flexibility and speed to organizing and managing campaigns like state-of-the-art call centers do. We are excited about the flexibility foneathon™ provides to campaign managers to enroll and empower volunteers who would not otherwise be available," stated Raj Sharma, President and CEO of 3CLogic.
foneathon™, the Internet Call Center and Contact Management for volunteers, enables organizations to build a comprehensive, feature-rich contact center without any hardware, software or other capital expenditures. foneathon™ allows for easy set-up and administration at single-site or distributed, multi-site centers, including home-based volunteers. Now, any volunteer with a PC and broadband connection can access an affordable suite of outbound campaign applications.
