Investment in the latest technology is designed to make it easier for patients to contact their GP and access the information they need, while also reducing the burden on GP receptionists. Jones points out that on-hold messaging solutions like AudPro’s Messaging on Hold have an important role to play in achieving these objectives by providing callers with their queue position, call-back options, up-to-date opening hours and call routing information. He said: “Messaging on Hold offers far more than just on-hold music and messaging. It provides resellers with satisfied customers, organisations with a seamless system and callers with the information they need – something that GP surgeries will value as demand for consultations continues to increase.” Jones added: “The UK Government’s investment in GP telephony solutions has opened a new market for resellers of Messaging on Hold to explore the potential to improve caller experiences on a national scale.” www.audpro-onhold.com WithSecure award KryptoKloud, the UK-based cybersecurity solutions and services provider, has been named Most Certified Partner of the Year by WithSecure.
