Varolii Corporation (News - Alert), a provider of cloud-based proactive customer interaction management solutions, announced that TMC, an integrated media company, has honored the company with the Customer Interaction Solutions 2011 Speech Technology Excellence Award.

TMC recognized Varolii for its Progressive Engagement suite, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) solution that assists organizations to enroll patients and members into healthcare programs and engage them to influence behaviors and positively impact health.

"Varolii has demonstrated to the editors of Customer Interaction Solutions that its product is both innovative and a leader in the speech technology industry,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO at TMC (News - Alert), in a statement. “Varolii's Progressive Engagement suite has proven its superior capabilities and has ultimately improved the bottom line for its customers."

A Varolii press release said through the 2011 Speech Technology Excellence Award, TMC is recognizing companies who have made significant contributions to improving speech applications for their clients and offer clients a competitive edge in the market.

"Winning this award for two consecutive years validates Varolii's commitment to helping businesses improve customer and patient interactions," said Andrea Austin, vice president of healthcare business at Varolii. "The single largest cause of preventable morbidity is lack of patient adherence to prescribed therapies and recommended self-care.”

“Disease management and wellness programs positively influence behavior and increase adherence, but only if members stay active in the programs. Varolii's Progressive Engagement suite helps healthcare organizations reduce costs while improving patient and member adherence through highly tailored voice communications,” Austin added.

Recently, Varolii announced the launch of new Varolii Interact Portal for real-time reporting, analytics and controls for customer interactions. Varolii Interact Portal empowers large corporations to gain deeper, real-time insights into their customer communications performance and business operations, and the ability to automatically monitor and manage Varolii's SaaS applications in one easy-to-use interface.
