Carmel, IN (Vocus) September 18, 2008

Interactions, Inc., the leading provider of voice hybrid solutions revolutionizing the customer experience for contact centers, announced today that it has closed Series C funding of $12 million led by Cross Atlantic Capital Partners with participation from lead investor, Sigma Partners, and its other investors Updata Partners, and North Hill Ventures. Commensurate with the funding, Richard Fox, Managing Director at Cross Atlantic, will join the board of directors.

"I am pleased that our Service Factory's ongoing maturation and growth with new and existing customers has led to securing this important funding round," said Michael Cloran, CEO of Interactions.

The Service Factory™ is a voice hybrid service that blends human labor, in real time, with automation. Interactions has handled over 15 million customer service calls to date.
