Business Systems have added a new recording solution to the already popular ‘Vocal’ range of recorders. In response to customers concerns over capturing and monitoring mobile -to-mobile telephone calls, Business Systems has introduced VocalMobile. VocalMobile offers a reliable method of capturing all mobile telephone calls with playback of calls via secure password protected browser access. This solution closes the loop hole in any high security environments such as trading where mobile to mobile communications have not until now been able to be tracked. This solution operates entirely separately to existing call recording. Pricing is calculated on a per minute usage basis plus a small set-up charge. VocalMobile is ideal for any trading environment, or for increased safety in high security environments.

Recent industry research reveals that nearly 70% of customers become frustrated with chatbots and prefer speaking to human agents, and abandonment rates for basic chatbot interactions continue to remain stubbornly high.

Blog 4 November, 2025 End-of-Life Voice Recording Systems: Why Doing Nothing Is No Longer an Option in Voice Data Compliance Across regulated industries, a silent risk is growing. As legacy voice recording platforms reach end-of-life (EoL), they don’t just age, they expose organisations to compliance blind spots, data integrity issues, operational fragility and accrue mounting maintenance costs.
