RETELL LAUNCHES
SENSE LITE FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES
RETELL HAVE RESPONDED to
requests from channel
resellers and their end users
by creating Sense Lite which
is compliant (GDPR, MIFIDII
and PCI-DSS) and allows
smaller businesses to
record, store and keep calls
encrypted for up to 8 SIP
channels.
The issue for companies
in the professional services
sector, who are required to
store calls for up to 7 years,
is that they may be unable to
take their calls with them in
an encrypted state if they
switch their VoIP provider.
Sense Lite is a simple
solution using a mini PC
which runs the recording
software and holds all of the
recorded calls in a compliant
state independently of the
SIP/VoIP services. It is seen
as an ideal way to add value
for current SIP users or for
anyone looking to switch
from ISDN to SIP.
Neville Bird, ReTell CEO
commented “The take up of
cloud-based recording,
especially for businesses
which have to adhere to
regulation, is still taking time
to penetrate the market. A
major factor in the slow
uptake is confi dence in the
security of cloud-based
services. A further issue for
small businesses faced with
compliance is the cost of
on-premise call recording.
We’ve spoken with dozens
of end users to survey what
they want from a call
recording solution and
we’ve responded by
launching Sense Lite. ReTell
can now provide a low cost,
easy to use and fl exible
solution that will meet the
needs of businesses in
many sectors including the
professional services and
retail, when it comes to
compliance and regulation
for call recording.”
