Currently, when a recording is archived to a 3rd party, they are organized by folders. Using folders to navigate to recordings is fine, but as the number and volume of recordings grow, being able to search for them can become a massive challenge.
By populating recordings that are archived with metadata using APIs (there are metadata APIs available for Box, Dropbox and GDrive), it will make searching for recordings by date, time, type, caller, handler, etc. far less painful.
Consider use cases for legal holds, employee sat situations, HR claims.
