 High availability for compliance voice recording and to allow them to
replay one half of the call (just what the caller said).
 Recording a set of extensions across the campus with all calls to
and from them recorded in stereo
 Simple to deploy and maintain IP telephony recording with full audit
trail and stereo replay
 Cisco / Witness solution cost significantly lower than traditional
telephony design
 Efficiency improvements in locating and replaying the right calls
because of the enhanced tagging available in Witness’ IP recording
