Article : Technological Impacts of 2010

Every time the year changes, we look forward to what the new year will bring. 2010 is no different – most people have a positive outlook that this year will bring better things than 2009. That includes the positive impact technology will have on the industry over the next 12 months.

Ken Reid
Marketing Director
IMImobile
United Kingdom

"Possibly automated technology, where the customer could get their answer faster at a cheaper cost to the provider – although if this is not done in the right way, it could actually alienate customers.

Also multichannel technology which will give the customer a single view of the supplier. Contact centres are rapidly moving towards a multi-channel future, with email, SMS/Text and web chat increasing. This presents specific challenges, such as the need to have agents who have the relevant technical and IT skills to work with it.
So contact centres need to have systems that can be updated and that are simple enough for staff to use.

Owing to its strong research and development ethic and years of experience in the field, Rostrvm provides simple, cost-effective, bolt-on products.

With the ultimate vision of Unified Communications in mind and seamless use of multiple channels, it is no surprise that every single system that Rostrvm has installed for contact centres in 2009 has included Voice over IP. Advances in technology have meant that VoIP now offers a stable infrastructure, enabling many businesses – and not just the largest – to save on equipment, software, network maintenance and administration, management and operational costs."

"I think performance related technology will be instrumental in ensuring that Customer Service excellence continues to be delivered effectively. I also think Speech analytics will begin to have an interest in the marketplace. However, budget constraints may prevent the procurement of this, at this stage."

 
Lou Krost
VP Workforce Optimization
United States

"Workforce Management systems (namely eWFM) will lead the call center industry in 2010 to enormous savings. With 70% of call center overhead tied to FTE, huge gains will be realized in the way of budgetary cost avoidance. If Aspect continues to focus intently on enhancing their Collections modules, they will surpass their competition at even greater lengthes and reap a harvest of new customers."

"SELF SERVICE technologies are rapidly improving and companies are constantly looking for new ways to provide answers to their standard customer queries. So, in the near future many customers will take care of themselves with intelligent and interactive self-service tools, and therefore, contact center employees will have to be experienced and emotionally intelligent who will mainly be dealing with special inquires and more complicated cases."

 
Dru Phelps
4D Value Partner, in private practice
United States

"Technology will outsource specialized system needs or as I call it 'resource' to optimize their practice. The 'try before you buy' concept has great merit when saving cost and development time. Or make it easy for callers to use 'Self-service' to ease workload."

"Virtualization of agents , of working from anywhere in the world to serve a customer anywhere"

 
Colette Yee
Director of Strategic Marketing
Genesys
United States

"Speech analytics is the technology to watch in 2010. It provides the breakthrough transparency (insight) on people performance, process effectiveness and end-customer experience that will revitalize the contact center industry and propel it to a more prominent role within the organization. Other business units will be looking towards the contact center for insights on product usability, customer needs, campaign effectiveness, competitive information, website abandon reasons, back-office bottlenecks, as well as, for liability protection.

By automating the recognition and analysis of unstructured human-to-human conversations in a non-intrusive and highly scalable way, speech analytics is able to dive into both the customer and agent side of the equation for comprehensive root cause investigation, trend analysis and hypothesis validation. It uncovers the first call resolution per issue per agent, the customer satisfaction per product per agent, among others. It further provides targeted recommendations for quality assurance, agent coaching, process improvements, sales conversion factors and customer satisfaction drivers. This enables executives to focus their investments and efforts on the areas that will give them the biggest bang for the buck.

Moreover, speech metrics can be easily tied back to operational and corporate KPIs like average handle time, resource utilization, customer satisfaction, first call resolution, sales conversion rate, collections promise-to-pay and customer propensity to churn. This allows the contact center to be fully aligned with corporate performance goals and metrics."
