Company Expands Dialing Capacity to 4000 Calls Per Minute in Response to High Demand

Chesapeake, VA (September 15, 2009) – CDYNE Corporation, a leading provider of data quality and communications XML Web Services since 1999, announced today that it has increased the automated dialing capacity for its Phone Notify! Web Service to approximately 4000 calls per minute to keep up with growing customer demand.

Phone Notify! sends calls over tier-one provider lines via a simple API connection. Clients can use their own recorded voice files or CDYNE’s text-to-speech to make one or thousands of calls at once. Phone Notify! XML Web Service operations are programmed into a client system using customizable options that fit individual business needs. Real-time reporting can be set to post call information to a client’s Web site or database. Once implemented, all that is needed to run the service is a computer or mobile device with an Internet connection.

CDYNE’s former capacity was large enough for all of its clients to send reminders, alerts, and other notifications instantaneously or in scheduled batches over the Web. But recent increases in use signifying projected growth for clients required that CDYNE expand quickly to prepare.

Phone Notify! is used by many high-profile CDYNE customers for functions ranging from delivery and international tariff notices to appointment reminders auto-dialed from patient management software.

“We have had no problem meeting client demand for Phone Notify!, but we saw the numbers and decided to increase capacity to prepare for near-future demand. These evaluations were based on current projections for many of our clients, whose businesses are growing quickly,” said Chris Chenoweth, CIO of CDYNE. “As our customers’ businesses expand, we will expand our Web Services as well to continue to meet their needs. We are thrilled to do so and look forward to continued partnerships with these dynamic companies.”

Apatar Maximizes Customer Data Quality Efforts with CDYNE Phone Verification

Posted by: CDYNE  /  Tags: , , ,

April 17, 2008, Chicopee, MA – Apatar, Inc., the leading provider of open source software tools for the data integration market, today officially announced the CDYNE Phone Verification connector for the Apatar Open Source Data Integration toolset. The new connector quickly and accurately determines the validity of any U.S. or Canadian phone number using CDYNE Web Services, all without coding. Now Apatar enables any business user to verify and filter customer phone numbers extracted from databases (such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL, Oracle), files (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, CSV/TXT files), applications (Salesforce.com, SugarCRM), and the top Web 2.0 destinations (Flickr, Amazon S3, RSS feeds).

Customer data hygiene as a B2B priority in 2008
Over half of B2B marketers plan to put more resources against creating marketing databases, cleaning up customer data, improving sales force automation and CRM integration, according to Forrester Research in its “B2B CMO Investment Priorities for 2008″ report. Whether you need to assure your customer data is healthy or your marketing contact data is reliable, this new Phone Verification Connector from Apatar and CDYNE enables quick and accurate verification and correction of the area code and prefix portions of U.S. and Canadian telephone numbers.
The combination of contact data from many sources introduces myriad opportunities for error. Because the records in each database were entered by different persons, each person may have introduced typos, placed data in an incorrect field or used different conventions for addresses, phone numbers, and abbreviations. The Phone Verification identifies the phone numbers in your list that have new area codes following a NANPA split and replaces incorrect area codes. If the area code is incorrect or missing, Phone Verification can be used to identify the error or return the corrected one to update your data.

Featured quotes
“It’s obvious that data is the key player in business decision-making,” said Renat Khasanshyn, CEO and founder of Apatar. “The new connector provides companies with clean data, identifies land line and cellular numbers instantly, and provides carrier information making this service a must for Telemarketing companies.”
“Data management is one of those thankless but necessary jobs. It’s never done either. Data degrades, gets dirty, or become obsolete,” said William Chenoweth, VP Director of Marketing CDYNE Corporation. “This new Apatar Connector provides customers the ability to automate their every day data management duties with scheduling features and visual drag-and-drop interface. The more automated the data cleansing process, the less expensive and more consistent the end result will be for your company.”
