If your organization records communications, you know how quickly those recordings accumulate and how difficult they are to manage. Data often sits in outdated systems, locked in proprietary formats, and becomes hard to retrieve when audits, investigations, or analytics demand it.
These challenges slow compliance responses, hinder insights, and prevent you from leveraging your data for AI-driven improvements in customer experience.
At Wilmac, we have spent decades helping organizations overcome these obstacles. Continuity Replay was built to simplify how companies capture, store, and leverage their voice and interaction data. More than an archive, it is a solution that centralizes fragmented environments, ensures compliance, and positions your data as a strategic asset ready for analytics and AI.
WHAT
What is Continuity Replay?
Continuity Replay is a vendor-neutral archiving platform that liberates your voice and interaction data from outdated systems and fragmented environments. It extracts, converts, and centralizes recordings from multiple sources into a single, searchable archive.
Centralized data is no longer just stored; it becomes accessible for audits, analytics, and AI initiatives designed to improve operations and customer experience.
With Continuity Replay, you can:
1
Unlock data trapped in legacy or proprietary systems and make it usable for analytics and AI
2
Centralize recordings from multiple vendors and locations in one searchable platform
3
Store your data securely in the cloud or on-premises while keeping it ready for AI use
4
Meet strict retention regulations without relying on outdated hardware
5
Reduce long-term storage costs while ensuring data remains accessible for compliance and AI models
…and the list goes on.
Continuity Replay turns complex, locked data into a resource your organization can actively use to improve efficiency and strategy.
Where Wilmac Technologies Specializes
Every industry faces unique challenges when it comes to storing, accessing, and using customer interaction data. Regulations, retention requirements, and operational demands vary, but the need for a secure, accessible, and AI-ready archive is universal.
Continuity Replay was designed to meet these needs across industries, providing compliance and unlocking the full value of your data.
Banking
Banks must meet strict requirements under regulations like Dodd-Frank and SOX. They need to store and retrieve call recordings, customer communications, and transaction data for audits and fraud investigations. Continuity Replay centralizes these records, ensuring secure access, retention compliance, and AI readiness for analytics that improve risk detection and customer service.
Financial Services
Financial institutions require instant access to client interactions across voice, email, and chat to maintain SEC and FINRA compliance. Continuity Replay provides a single platform that lowers long-term storage costs while enabling quick retrieval for audits and AI tools that enhance trading oversight and compliance monitoring.
Insurance
Insurers manage vast amounts of policyholder calls, claims documentation, and underwriting records. These records must comply with NAIC and state-mandated retention policies. Continuity Replay consolidates this data in a secure archive, enabling fast searches for claims investigations and powering AI models that can improve claims processing and fraud detection.
Healthcare
Healthcare organizations must store patient interactions, telehealth communications, and provider calls in a HIPAA-compliant manner. Continuity Replay ensures these sensitive recordings are secure, easy to retrieve for compliance checks, and structured for AI-driven initiatives that improve patient engagement and operational efficiency.
Energy and Utilities
Energy and utility companies must retain customer interactions to comply with FERC, NERC, and state utility commission rules. Continuity Replay offers a cost-effective way to manage these recordings, preparing data for audits and disputes while enabling analytics and AI to optimize operations and service delivery.
Public Safety
PSAPs, Fire, EMS, and Police agencies handle decades of mission-critical recordings often stored across outdated media. Continuity Replay consolidates this data, making it searchable, audit-ready, and usable for AI-driven trend analysis and training enhancements that improve emergency response.

HOW
The “How” behind Continuity Replay lies in how it addresses the real obstacles that keep organizations from using their customer interaction data as a strategic asset. These challenges stand in the way of compliance, operational efficiency, and AI-driven insights.
Continuity Replay was built to remove these barriers and give you full control over your data.
The Six Core Challenges Continuity Replay Solves
1. Data Still Residing in Legacy Systems
Decades of recordings stored in outdated, on-premise systems are hard to access, migrate, or integrate. Continuity Replay bridges these systems with modern platforms, extracting and centralizing data without the burden of maintaining costly legacy infrastructure.
2. Proprietary and Encrypted Formats
Vendor-specific formats often lock data away, making retrieval and migration expensive and time-consuming. Continuity Replay unlocks and converts these recordings into open, accessible formats, reducing compliance risks and ending vendor lock-in.
3. Siloed Data Across Multiple Platforms
When data is scattered across systems like NICE Engage, Verint, and Genesys PureConnect, compliance and analytics become difficult. Continuity Replay consolidates these recordings into a single, searchable archive, improving access and insights.
4. Complex Retention Regulations
Strict requirements under regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and Dodd-Frank make managing retention policies challenging. Continuity Replay automates policy-based management, ensures secure storage, and provides audit-ready access to help you stay compliant.
5. Data Stuck in Long-Term Cold Storage with CCaaS
Cold storage in CCaaS platforms drives up retrieval costs and causes long delays. Continuity Replay keeps your data accessible and indexed, allowing quick, cost-effective retrieval without compromising compliance or operational continuity.
6. Data Readiness for AI
Your customer data may be archived and searchable, but are you using it to improve your customer experience? Continuity Replay makes your interactions AI-ready by centralizing them in an accessible format. This empowers organizations to use calls and chats for memory, analytics, and continuous improvement of both individual and general CX. When all your data is unified, it can seamlessly feed into your AI strategy, unlocking powerful value for long-term growth.
