Where it fits in the global strategy: The Customer Conversation
Engage Expert & departments Link Interaction with context Extend for social and mobility Delivery Optimization Enterprise resource Optimization Business Agility Open System Multi-channel conversation Performance Management Solutions & Products Voice Only Solutions: OmniTouch CC Standard Edition All-In-One Solutions: Genesys Compact Edition Unified Solution OpenTouch Customer Service Point Integrated Solutions: Genesys 8 The way the customer conversation is changed is threefold – they can begin by Engaging Experts and specific departments, or designed to link interactions with context and finally extended to include social media and mobility. In each area there are different technologies that can support and deliver these conversations: First, Engaging Experts & departments This is supported by topics like Delivery Optimization which is the capability to present or route the interaction with the best fit between the subject of the call (whatever the media) and the responder The Enterprise Resource optimization is the conjunction of several factors : the skills based routing, the possibility for the Agent to enter in a collaboration session with needed back-office resources and the capabilities to share documents or even to use CRM and other Business applications. The usage of SIP by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise enables the Resource optimization by: - exposing to the Agent the presence (availability, preferred media, etc…) of the suitable expert/Manager and - blending of applications with the integration of OpenTouch collaborative conversation applications within the agent desktop. Next, it links Link Interactions with Context Business Agility: The evolutions towards full SoftWare (Full SIP, Virtualization routing and other modules such as IVR, Supervisor, Reporting, Outbound, Media server, middleware, OpenTouch suite , open the door to the multitude of IT deployment schemes. Communication application as such Contact center is no longer a silo and can interact with any Business Application ( Business Intelligence, ERP, BPM…). As a consequence Alcatel-Lucent developed business homeland security (working with the Alcatel-Lucent strategic industries, many references across EMEA), context routing for branch leveraging ALU middleware (business contact and the distributed architecture of OXE/OT) Open System: The usage of Open standards fosters IT integration without compromising the budget by optimizing the usage of IT resources (servers, OS, IT managers, etc…). This leads to Virtualization to address the new services consumption models: OPEX , CAPEX or hybrid (hybrid mode to start with Hardware in CAPEX, Software in OPEX Lastly it can Extend Social Media and Mobility Multi-Channel conversation: Thanks to the multi-channels brought by OpenTouch (voice, chat , fax, , SMS, video) and social media functions (analysis, capture and classification, and send notification by to agents), Alcatel-Lucent helps Enterprises improve their image, and to manage and increase its Customers asset. Contact Center mobility fosters new business practices as maintenance technicians, agents hired for dedicated campaigns working from home Performance Management: To participate to the Business Agility, the Alcatel-Lucent Contact center Solutions deliver multitude of indicators to help Businesses to monitor and control the effectiveness and the quality of their Customer services.

What is our proposition: The market segmentation

What is our proposition: The product mapping and evolution
The differentiation factors: A disruption: sophistication doesn’t mean complexity and high TCO A unique technology to address all market needs A solution enabling enterprises to act as One TCO (License +Professional services + Support) Sophistication Genesys suite Smooth evolution Synergies with OT Unified interaction First Call resolution Multi-channels Business support OTCC SE GCE OTCS We map the Alcatel-Lucent Contact Center offering taking two criteria: The Sophistication Level (from first call resolution to Business support) of the Solution and the Total cost of ownership (TCO). Why this mapping? It will point-out the Alcatel-Lucent Contact Center offering uniqueness: First, Alcatel-Lucent will provide market with a solution which will not increase the TCO in regards of the need of sophistication as current established practices . We propose a smooth evolution of the Alcatel-Lucent Contact Center offering as followed: In a short-term, OTCS will take benefits of synergies with OpenTouch -an unified configuration and management system with OpenTouch; communications and Collaboration services . Furthermore, OTCS will be provided as an add-on of OTCC SE to add multi-channels services In a mid-Term, the whole Alcatel-LucentContact Center offering will be based on OTCS technology.

What is our proposition: Ecosystem
Unified communications suite Workforce Management Conversation Management Performance Management CRM Business analytics IT Softwares SoftPanels Management Alcatel-Lucent developed and managed a rich ecosystem through different programs (externally and internally): Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Application Partners Program (AAPP) Business Partners Accreditation Program (targeting VARs) Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise internal Product reviews With more than 30 Application Partners, dedicated openness connection packs, services contributions and innovation partnerships, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise offers a wide range of enrichment possibilities. If we take a few examples: MediumSoft has developped a CTI based solution that allow to locate callers based upon their caller-ID or GSM cell position. The solution is integrated within our OmniTouch Contact Center range and allows emergency services to locate callers on a map and attached enriched contextual data to the interaction. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Professional services organization has deployed more than 20 customized solutions based upon the SoftPanel server.

What is our proposition: Customer profiles fit
Budget sensitive Customers Experience/ Live style Multi- Channels Time sensitive IT skills CC as Business support CC as Intrinsic Business OTCC SE Profile 1 GCE Profile 2 G suite Profile 3 OTCS Profile 4 Through the overall contact center solutions positioning, we provide a coherent range of contact center solutions, allowing our partners to provide the right solution, answering our customer’s business needs in terms of Customer Conversation. So the overall portfolio reflects a coherent and easily understood comprehensive contact center strategy: First, it extends Communications to the Contact center Next, we Propose solutions answering clear business requirements Finally it has defined migration paths without Business disruption So the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise strategy for its contact center solutions is summarized in the “customer profile fit” grid. Their are also myths to de-bunk the current beliefs that Large Contact Centers and Mid-Sized contact centers are two different contact center markets. The first belief is that “contact center is a business where large contact centers look for the best-of-breed solutions and mid-sized contact centers only look for solutions less powerful.” This is actually not true. Enterprises will select the right solution that fits their customer service needs, whatever their number of agent seats. The second belief is that “Mid-Sized Contact Centers usually look for more integrated solutions with a simplified integration path because internal teams such as IT, workforce management, reporting, flow management, etc… which support the customer service operations are less numerous.” This is indeed very true. The total cost of integration services does not depend on the number of seats. If you intend to integrate your Contact Center solution with your CRM application, the integration cost will be the same whether you have 75 agents in your contact center or one thousand. As a result, to minimize the Total Cost of Ownership per seat, complexity must be minimized. This rule is more applicable to mid-sized Contact Centers. A license is only one cost among others and you, as sales representatives, have to keep clearly in mind that the licenses we sell are just a portion of the costs involved to implement a complete contact center solution. Thusly it’s important to focus on the Value provided by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Contact Center solutions integrating all dimensions like the time to market, the ramp-up budget with resources training, the evolution capabilities, the business goals control . This list is not exhaustive nevertheless we intend to raise your awareness to decision criteria where the license price is not the fundamental one! Focus on value rather than size
