This showed up in my e-mail box this morning:
Notice the salutation. "Dear Chief Executive Officer". I guess they mean me.
The product is designed to make it easy for those who wish to use their corporate money to influence the outcome of our elections. The entire idea is entirely corrupt. Individual citizens do not have the resources to run campaigns such as the ones that users of this product can, and will, run.
When the candidates come to your door, and they will, ask them what their stance is on third party involvement in elections. We don't need the best democracy that be bought by big business.

AutoCaller V4.0
ITI Software proudly presents AutoCaller Version 4.0, a versatile automatic calling machine and predictive dialer. It can also receives calls and run as an ACD (Automatic Call Distributor), or an incoming interactive voice response system.
AutoCaller is a multi-line automatic calling system and Predictive Dialer. This is a great utility to make announcements, remind meetings and conferences, do telemarketing, run simple or complex surveys, etc...
The automated calling system calls a list of phone numbers, and plays a single message or a script of messages to the person who answers the call. It can also read touch-tones, record a voice message, transfer to an operator using
3-way call or direct transfer for instant communication with a connected agent.
System size ranges from 8 ports to up to 240 ports. A port is either an operator line, or an outgoing line. You can use the system as a predictive dialer with some ports for operators and some for outgoing lines, or all lines can be used to dial out, as a “super-dialer”.
Since operators are connected to regular ports in the system, they can work from home, which is a great advantage for small offices.
For pricing information, please call us at 514-597-1692.
Predictive dialer
Running AutoCaller in Predictive Dialer mode allows you to immediately transfer call answered to a live operator, as if the operator dialed himself. The information related to the called party, like the name and address can be displayed on the operator's phone (requires ADSI type phone like the Nortel's Vista 350), or on a computer using Internet Protocol. This means that the operator can work at the office, or from a remote location like home.
When a call is answered, it is transferred to an operator based on different mechanisms:
* the least busy
* based on an operator category, i.e. your best salesperson can get calls whenever he/she is free
* next available based on connected line number
At the end of a call, the operator enters a Touch-Tone indicating what is the call result and become ready to receive an new call.
All calls are logged in a statistic file, which can be used to generate reports.
If a call is not answered or if the line is busy, the system will retry later. They can also be rescheduled in a relative to now or fixed time later.
For example, you may reschedule busy calls in 10 minutes, no answer calls in 2 days, 10 hours.
Operators can also reschedule calls in days or months based on the conversation they had with the called party.
Recorded response can be listened to simply by clicking its name in the stats window.
Responses, voice or Touch-Tones, can be saved in variables, and the result of the calls can be emailed to up to 3 e-mail addresses right after the call is finished. This means you can receive your leads right away, even if you are not at the same location as the dialer.
Many lists of phone numbers can be maintained separately, multiple lists can run at the same time. There is no limit in the number of phone numbers found in a list. The numbers are called sequentially, using all the available lines in the system (fewer lines call also be used). A list can be configured to make calls only between certain hours.
The system can also be configured to receive calls and run the same script as if it called itself and a person answered. This is useful when leaving messages on answering machine, you can leave a number where the people can run your questionnaire afterward.
Phone numbers can be imported from comma separated text files, fixed size field text files, DBase, Paradox or any ODBC data source, like MS-Access
