History

Since 1984, DiRAD Technologies has been providing innovative communications solutions. DiRAD began as a provider of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems, and in 2000 become a Genesys (then Interactive Intelligence) partner. With this partnership, DiRAD soon became a well-known call center solution provider for government agencies. The company deployed systems for large metropolitan agencies such as the New York Police Department, Atlanta Housing Authority, Minneapolis Bureau of the Treasury, the New York City Board of Elections and New York City Poison Control.

In 2014, DiRAD was acquired by long-time employees Maria Massa, John Michne and Rami Hachem. As a result of the acquisition, DiRAD was certified as a Women-Owned Business, and has since added certifications in a number of states, plus the nationally recognized designation WBENC.

2015 Brought DiRAD into the Enterprise Hosted IP/PBX (VoIP) industry, when the company launched Nextphone, a soft-switch VoIP phone system platform that would provide independent, reliable, and low-cost telephone services to business and government entities throughout the United States.  DiRAD continues to offer Nextphone to select clients.

In 2018, DiRAD was contracted to provide helpdesk support for a new DMV initiative in New York State that serves over 11,000 auto dealerships. As a result of this project, DiRAD now operates its own, separate call center facility and offers outsourced contact center services to companies and government agencies.

In the last 10 years, DiRAD has increased its revenue sixfold, and from 2018 to 2024, we have added many new staffed contact center clients, large agencies running Genesys Cloud, and IVR applications processing millions of transactions every month. We are also busy migrating our Genesys PureConnect customers to Genesys Cloud CX, and we’re very excited about what the next decade will bring.

Culture

Throughout its long history, DiRAD has been able to retain the best and brightest people by promoting a workplace that is professional yet laid back; a think-tank culture where ideas are freely exchanged and adventures with “bleeding edge” technology are encouraged. Change is mandatory, fancy clothes are optional, and egos are left at the door. We value the customer above all else and go to great lengths to ensure complete customer satisfaction. We’ve been successful for over 40 years by adhering to one credo: Take care of the customer first, and everything else will take care of itself.

Mission

Our mission is to help organizations create happy customers by providing technology and services that dramatically improve customer service while ultimately lowering costs. Our goals and objectives revolve around the fact that DiRAD’s owners are not entrepreneurs, but technologists whose day-to-day objective is to make sure our customers are happy – if we’re successful in that objective, our company will grow.

Values

During our 40-year history, we’ve seen many exuberant companies come and go. We prefer slow and steady growth, without taking on long-term debt.

We value respect, transparency, collaboration, and direct feedback. We have no tolerance for disrespect, office politics or discrimination of any kind.

We have a healthy dissatisfaction with the status quo – how can we improve? Where is our technology taking us next? Who is a potential partner?

Do the right thing.
