Woori Bank, which means ‘Our Bank’ is 98% government owned, and is as commonplace in Korea as Natwest is in England! The bank has 624 branches.

A couple of decades on, the bank decided to stay with long-term provider, Business Systems, upgrading to a fully digital voice recording solution for new offices. Working closely with the Business Systems City Account Management Team, Woori Bank selected the best-fit solution, which was a NiceCall system. Richard explains why be preferred the NiceCall logger over competitive options: “The Business Systems recording solution easily integrated with our recently acquired Reuter’s dealer boards and the in-house Samsung switch, a requirement that competitive quotes could not fulfil, this coupled with Business Systems excellent track record made them the preferred supplier.” Even with imposing infrastructual restrictions, due to Lloyds Shipping being a listed building, Business Systems carried out a quick, no fuss installation with no noticeable disruption, Richard comments: “The service from Business Systems has been first class. They managed complications of analogue to digital conversions with no difficulty.” The digital NiceCall recorder offers advanced features, Richard comments: “With the NiceCall, recordings can be played back directly from the logger by date and time, which makes it very easy to playback a call and my life far less stressful!” The NiceCall recording solution gives Woori Bank a compact recording system providing an affordable, easy-to-use and maintained solution, which facilitates fast access and retrieval of calls. Flexible playback options include: via the logger itself, over the phone, LAN or speaker. The solution supports total recording environments as well as record-on-demand and real-time monitoring.
