CHELMSFORD, Mass., 13 February 2008 - The PerformanceEdge Group of Aspect Software, the world’s largest company solely focused on the contact center, today announced the general availability of expanded quality management features through PerformanceEdge™. Aspect Quality Management 2.8, part of the PerformanceEdge suite, offers a newly released add-on module, Customer Measured Quality 2.8, which provides users the built-in ability to email post-interaction Web-based surveys to customers and correlate feedback directly to that recorded interaction.
