Recordant Selects Nexidia for Enhanced Audio Analytic Capabilities

ATLANTA, GA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 6, 2006 -- Recordant, the first company to deliver "Moment of Truth Intelligence (MOTI)" through face-to-face audio capture, analytics and consultative services has signed an agreement with Atlanta-based Nexidia that will turn up the volume on its audio analytics capabilities.

Nexidia is the developer of the most effective phonetic-based technology solutions for audio and video search. Recordant's next generation software platform, Sound Mirror 2.0, incorporates Nexidia's phonetic indexing and search technology through a licensing agreement with Nexidia. Nexidia's licensing agreement also includes word spotting and filtering systems resulting in improved processing speeds of Recordant's proprietary technology by up to 50 percent.

"Recordant is defining an entirely new retail technology sector with our Moment of Truth Intelligence solutions," states Jeff Neppl, chief executive officer and president, Recordant. "Moment of Truth Intelligence empowers retailers to quickly and easily understand what is happening on the sales floor during every interaction, every day. Until now, retailers have never before had access to this type of rich, manageable and actionable intelligence. Nexidia's technology complements our analytical engine by processing captured audio at exceptionally high speeds without ever putting a human ear to the data. The result is qualitative, near real-time intelligence that enables our clients to improve employee productivity, customer service and sales in order to compete and profitably differentiate."

"We are very pleased that Recordant is leveraging our technology in this way. Doing so takes speech analytics into a completely new realm and this growth will open many new doors for us and the industry overall," said John Willcutts, chief executive officer and president, Nexidia.

Recordant believes its timing is ideal as the economy bounces back, consumer confidence is up and yet, consumer satisfaction is down. The recent findings from The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), 1994-2004, show Retail (72.6) and Government (68.3) as two sectors with the lowest customer satisfaction levels, both of which are areas of emphasis for Recordant. Only Transportation/Communications/ Utilities (69.7) is comparable. Banks (74) and Hotels (72) also have significant room for customer satisfaction improvements.

"The ACSI rankings further validate Recordant's primary vertical markets -- retail, banking, hospitality, automotive and government," acknowledges Neppl. "Many of these sectors are suffering from eroding customer satisfaction and until now they have not been able to measure each and every retail customer interaction to identify and correct the underlying issues." Many issues negatively impacting customer satisfaction occur on the sales floor during employee interactions with customers. Recordant's technology enables retailers to identify, qualify, train, monitor and reinforce change within the retail environment resulting in improved customer experiences.
