Manage Risk and Ensure Compliance
Compliance Recording Manage Risk and Ensure Compliance Analytics-Driven WFO Data Analytics Speech Analytics Customer Feedback Traditional WFO Performance Mgt eLearning Enterprise Value WFM Another way to look at the components of Impact 360 Workforce Optimization is illustrated on this slide. Each element of the WFO suite is plotted on a graph where the x-axis is the complexity associated with the business objective and where the y-axis represents the value to the enterprise and contact center. In the prior slide we said that workforce optimization is a journey that begins with compliance recording. Recording calls is the first step along the WFO journey. Compliance recording is sometimes mandated by controlling authorities or government regulations. Sometimes businesses simply find it prudent to record all calls in case of disputes over verbal transactions. The ability to record, store and easily retrieve contacts protects organizations against customer disputes. While there is no huge ROI associated with compliance recording, it only takes one successfully resolved dispute to create real value.

Strategic Application for Contact Centers
Quality Monitoring Strategic Application for Contact Centers Analytics-Driven WFO Data Analytics Speech Analytics Customer Feedback Traditional WFO Performance Mgt eLearning Enterprise Value WFM If the decision to implement quality monitoring isn’t made at the same time as the purchase of recording, it isn’t very long until a QM purchase is made. The irony of pure compliance recording is that everything is recorded but nothing is ever listened to unless a dispute happens. It occurs to many that there is great value in listening to a sample of contacts to gauge the quality of the interaction. Perhaps the term “quality” is not quite precise. After all, what QM teams actually assess is not exactly quality. Quality, we are constantly reminded, is purely in the eyes of the customer. What QM teams actually do is perform brand management – the team defines the “perfect” interaction in terms of their company culture Make no mistake, whether we call this Quality Monitoring or Brand Management, there is enormous value in identifying holes in the skill and knowledge of customer-facing employees.

Quality Monitoring - Basics
QM is implemented to monitor, evaluate, and improve Agent performance (soft skills and workstation skills, accuracy) Contact center processes (use business rules and desktop activity monitoring to improve return merchandise authorizations, order confirmations, change of address calls, case management issues, etc.) Records voice and screen capture of contact center agents Major Features include: Various call recording/selection methods Random- Sampling of agent contacts by percentage Schedule Based Rules: A business rule that records contacts for agents based on a date, day(s) of week, and/or time period. Event Based Rules: A business rule that records contacts based on one or multiple conditions (CTI or desktop data – record 1-100% of calls) Customized agent or process evaluation forms Comprehensive built-in and ad-hoc reporting capabilities
31
Easy to Use and Intuitive
Reduces admin & training costs Rules-based recording easy to set up Random Schedule-based Event-based Easy playback of recorded sessions Evaluation forms are simple to create and auto-populate with information Evaluation screens are easily created and modified Comprehensive built-in reports and ad-hoc report writer Searches are easy to perform Verint QM is browser-based and very intuitive to use. It is easy to administer and set up the rules that govern recording, as well as create the forms used to evaluate interactions. We added to the convenience of the solution by auto- populating information to reduce keystrokes and minimize entry errors, while also enriching the information available to help assess the quality of interactions. Making the QM team efficient requires more than powerful assessment forms with auto-populate. Easy to use tools are available to make searches into the pool of recorded calls productive and less time-consuming.

WFM - a key Building Block of WFO WFM includes eLearning and Performance Management Analytics-Driven WFO Data Analytics Speech Analytics Customer Feedback Traditional WFO Performance Mgt eLearning Enterprise Value WFM For many contact centers, the next step on the WFO journey involves Workforce Management (WFM). WFM is the term for forecasting and scheduling. Impact 360 WFM gathers historical data on queue and agent performance in order to provide accurate forecasts of future interaction demand. Using proprietary simulation algorithms, Impact 360 WFM produces optimized schedules designed to fit the needs of the business and the employees.

Customer Retention and Business Growth Enhance customer experience Minimize crisis management Provide decision support & management tools Communicate effectively Differentiate through service Premier service for premier and profitable customers Employee Satisfaction Preferences Schedule needs Vacations Consistent and fair processes Participate in WFM process Communication and information sharing Impact 360 Workforce Management addresses a set of challenges facing contact centers today that can be grouped into 3 main areas: customer service and retention, employee satisfaction, and costs. Employee Satisfaction – There are a wide range of issues that fall into this category, all of which affect employee satisfaction. (Review some bullets on slide) Costs – Controlling or reducing costs is an ever-present challenge. Some of the underlying issues that call centers must face in order to manage costs are….(review some bullets on slide). Customer retention and growth – For most companies, this is the primary objective. But it often conflicts with the other two. Some of the specific issues and opportunities that affect customer service levels, customer loyalty, and business growth are…. A good WFM solution should balance and optimize all of these factors. Costs Create optimal schedules Accurate forecasting Precise resource scheduling Minimal over/under staffing Optimized use of overtime

WFM – More Than Forecasting and Scheduling
Workforce Management Sophisticated and flexible techniques for accurate forecasts and schedules Patented algorithms targeted at inbound and/or outbound scheduling that manage unique differences in call activity Individual Skill and proficiency-based scheduling Advanced Adherence management tools ‘What-If’ scenarios with Agent Profiles (Phantom agents) Strategic Planning Long term strategic planning – Trending and Special Event handling Unique Workforce Optimization Integrations include Unified Interface Scheduling of eLearning Drill to Interaction from Adherence and Scorecards Quality Scores in Scheduling Impact 360 WFM is among the most powerful and sophisticated solutions available anywhere. Our solution goes well beyond just forecasting and scheduling. Here are just a few of the unique advantages gained by employing Impact 360 WFM: Impact 360 WFM has a very sophisticated forecasting and scheduling “engine” that forms the core of the solution. It supports inbound and outbound centers, and a key point to note is that our outbound scheduling uses completely different patented algorithms than that used for inbound scheduling. Competing solutions don’t do that. Our solution schedules not only for skills, but also can understand the proficiency of individual agents within those skills. Two agents may speak Spanish, but one speaks it like a native while the other only has basic comprehension. They have very different proficiencies in this skill that ought to be reflected in the scheduling process. Most competitive solutions don’t. Impact 360 WFM also contains capabilities within Advanced Adherence that enables supervisors as well as WFM specialists to identify and manage exceptions to schedules. There may be legitimate reasons why an agent did not stay on the schedule defined for him or her, and you want the ability to note exceptions to avoid penalizing the agent for a deviation from a schedule that is excused. A particularly powerful feature is “What-If” scenarios coupled with Agent Profiles. Every WFM solution has a What-If capability where sensitivity tests can be performed such as: What happens if Average Handle Time goes up? What happens if a new self-service initiative diverts 20% of the easy calls? What is the impact of a new queue? The inclusion of Agent Profiles makes What-If particularly powerful planning tool. Essentially, Agent Profiles are made-up agents that you can define as working any way you can imagine. Split-shifts, part-time, whatever. You can add Agent Profiles to your existing workforce to easily determine how new shifts impact the overall scheduling outcome or you can run a simulation using only Agent Profiles to determine the very best scheduling outcome you could possibly achieve. As we noted before, our solution does more than just WFM. We also include Performance Management and eLearning capabilities in a software package. We do this for a simple reason, the inclusion of other Impact 360 WFO elements closes the loop with the agents, leading to positive behavior change. We include scorecards that deliver powerful feedback to agents, supervisors, managers and executives about performance against goals. It is easy to understand trends – are things moving in the right or wrong direction. The scorecards reflect information from WFM and eLearning, and if you are using Impact 360 Quality Monitoring, that application’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are included too. We have a powerful long-term strategic planning tool that answers questions that often confront managers regarding future courses of action. We’ll discuss those questions in an upcoming slide. Finally, Impact 360 WFM enjoys unique integrations. WFM and Performance Management and eLearning are unified – enjoying a common system admin framework, common security structure, and common login. You can drill to Adherence screens from a scorecard, optimize training schedules to meet Service Levels, and include training results into the scorecards. If you have Impact 360 QM, you can even include Quality scores into your scorecard views.

Optimize Forecasts and Schedules
Individual agent skill and proficiency Single, multi, virtual and outsourced sites Inbound and Outbound Multi-media – phone, , & chat Back Office work Outsourcer coordination Events and training Powerful work patterns and rules Multi-week scheduling Agent-defined preferences Easy to use Impact 360 WFM optimizes forecasts and schedules. As noted in the last slide, we schedule not only on skill but also on proficiency. This is important because it affords you the opportunity to put your most skilled agents on at peak times. Since your most skilled agents are your most productive agents, you can deploy fewer resources at peak times than if you scheduled lower-skilled agents, reducing your costs. We support single sites, centralized or decentralized multiple sites, and even manage schedules that are shared with outsourcers. Both inbound and outbound contact centers are managed with our solution. We forecast and schedule multiple types of contact – phone, , webchat, and can even manage back office work. If you contract with an outsourcer for some of your calls, our solution lets you coordinate schedules with them. Because of our integration with eLearning, it is easy to schedule training with minimal impacts to your Service levels. The same is true for meetings and events, eliminating a big headache for schedules and training departments. Your schedulers create agent schedules based on the rules that govern your contact center. Hours of operation, agent shift preferences, shift assignments based on performance, and many other variables are considered in building schedules. Above all else, this powerful solution is easy to use. It is browser-based using familiar navigation and command elements. Agents can easily manage their self-service options with very little training. Supervisors and managers can master the solution with just a few hours of training. Outbound Service Level goals are easy to set

Performance Management is key to getting to the next level
Analytics-Driven WFO Data Analytics Speech Analytics Customer Feedback Traditional WFO Performance Mgt eLearning Enterprise Value WFM Impact 360 WFO offerings are arranged so that Impact 360 QM and Impact 360 WFM may contain elements of both eLearning and Performance Management/Scorecards. We do this because the inclusion of eLearning and Performance Management with QM and WFM enable more closed-loop processes surrounding the agents. Specifically, Scorecards provide constant feedback to agents about how they are performing against goals and expectations. Moreover, the scores agents achieve on KPIs may automatically trigger the assignment of eLearning knowledge clips that address the situation.

Performance Management
Scorecards Deliver Visibility and Trigger Actions Views for agents, supervisors, managers and executives Choose from full range of KPIs (key performance indicators) to design your center’s scorecards Trends are easy to see Compare performance against goals Scorecards are a powerful tool to communicate performance results for agents, supervisors, and managers. Agents can see their individual performance, how they measure up to their peers, and their trends. Supervisors can view the results for their team of agents as well as view individual agent results. Managers can view their supervisors and their agents’ results, as well as see center performance in a holistic view. We provide over 30 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for our Advanced Scorecards out of the box, and you select the ones that are most meaningful to your operations. This is out of the box – no custom integration needed. Of course, if you do need a specially-designed KPI, our scorecard can be customized to incorporate information from CRM and sales management systems, or any other application you choose. If you also have Impact 360 solution, the KPIs can include the quality scores from evaluations of recorded interactions. Impact 360 Scorecards integrate metrics from all WFO modules
38
Optimally Schedule Learning Breaks
Minimize training getting delayed or cancelled Immediately correct and improve agent skills We said before that our WFM solution is more than just Forecasting and Scheduling. We also include eLearning. You can easily schedule learning breaks – with careful consideration so as to not impact service levels, and ensure that all agents are receiving the right training. It is easy to set up your rules about who receives training, and any constraints on scheduling training. Shifts can be defined that contain training time as a part of initial schedule creation or after the schedule has been published, the solution can find spots for eLearning sessions that minimize service level issues. When training sessions, meetings, one-on-one’s and learning clips are scheduled, you can manage agent adherence to their training schedules too. Learn with Minimal Impact on Service Levels

Customer Feedback & Speech Analytics deliver the Why factor!
Analytics Driven WFO Customer Feedback & Speech Analytics deliver the Why factor! Analytics-Driven WFO Data Analytics Speech Analytics Customer Feedback Traditional WFO Performance Mgt eLearning Enterprise Value WFM You’ll recall from an earlier slide that Level 3 Contact Center management teams realize that service delivery itself can be an effective enterprise weapon in hyper-competitive times by providing a sustainable competitive advantage. While products and services are rather easily duplicated, people and processes are not. Level 3 Contact Centers acquire powerful speech and data analytic tools as well as customer feedback management systems also known by the term surveys. Level 3 centers become valuable strategic assets to their enterprises because they become the true voice of the customer for the rest of the organization. And this is the only way to become customer centric – to tap directly into their voices.

Customer Feedback How it works: Customer calls Contact Center
At end of call, two options: agent asks for feedback and transfers caller to automated Customer Feedback system Program “return vector destination” in VDN to auto transfer upon agent disconnect (blind transfer) CF System asks dynamic questions about the customer interaction Customer uses keypad to provide feedback Customer can also leave verbatim feedback Business acts on real-time feedback through alerts TARP, a customer experience consultancy in the SE USA, says unequivocally that if you really want to know what a customer thinks, you have to ask them. There is no reliable way to deduce how they feel. While “surveys” can have a bad reputation, it’s most often the result of bad survey practices. Impact 360 Customer Feedback, together with best practices advice from Professional Services, avoids these problems. Here’s how it all works. At the end of the interaction there are two options. The agent can ask for feedback and transfer the caller or a blind transfer occurs when the agent disconnects. The CF solution asks dynamic questions which means that the second question asked depends on the answer to the first question, and so on. This avoids a frequent complaint of survey-takers – being asked irrelevant questions. The customer uses the keypad to provide answers to Yes/No or Likert Scale questions (press 1 for very happy, 2 for amused, 3 indifferent, 4 annoyed and 5 irate). But the customer can also choose to leave verbatim verbal feedback in case the survey did not touch on an important point for the customer. Finally, alerts surrounded by business rules can be enacted such that very negative feedback responses will trigger an electronic alert. The recipient can access the recording of the interaction that led to the negative survey to determine what is going on and to reach out to the customer proactively.
41
Customer Feedback: Easy to use
Easy to record questions Minimal/ No IT intervention required Easy to modify questions One of the best parts of Impact 360 Customer Feedback is that it doesn’t require IT support. The solution is designed to be easy to use for contact center people. It is a simple matter to record IVR survey questions and implement multiple surveys. The ease of use enables contact centers to change surveys frequently so that they can gauge customer sentiments on not only the agents skill and knowledge but on the enterprises’ products and processes. Customer feedback scores are maintained on an individual agent basis and can be cross-correlated with internal QM assessment scores for a much better insight into the ability of individual agents to contribute. Customers love the ease of use
42
Customer Feedback: More Metrics about Quality
Impact 360 WFO scorecards deliver information about agent and enterprise. Customer Feedback gets customer reactions to interactions. This chart from the Yankee Group, a technology research and consulting company, depicts the range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that typically exist in Level 3 and 4 Contact Centers. The KPIs are plotted on a graph where the x-axis ranges from efficiency to effectiveness and the y-axis ranges from the individual agent to the enterprise to the customer. Essentially, Yankee Group is saying that KPIs derived from the customers themselves are highly valuable.
43
Getting a Complete View of Customer Experience
Bring insights to the surface from interactions that would otherwise be ignored SPEECH ANALYTICS & CUSTOMER FEEDBACK Can analyze all calls The reality of call recording/quality monitoring is that only a tiny fraction of all the transactions that occur in the contact center are ever listened to by anyone. Even though great value derives from quality monitoring, imagine the treasure trove of information buried in the thousands of hours of recorded conversations. If only companies could tap into this rich source of unstructured data. With Impact 360 Speech Analytics, they can. EVALUATED FOR AGENT QUALITY 43

Speech and Data Analytics
Customer Complaints Brings the root cause of key business issues to the surface Continuously mines all calls surfacing top drivers No need to predefine terms or reprocess calls Non-categorized calls are used as a reference group delivering true root cause for every category or search results Change policy Technician didn’t show Activity fees Wrong information Speech analytics is a very powerful tool that can extract nuggets of intelligence from the tens of thousands of hours of conversations and interactions recorded through Impact 360 Recording. Using leading edge technologies such as Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) and Phonetic processing algorithms, Impact 360 Speech Analytics “listens” to recorded conversations and transcribes them into text. The text is indexed and cross-referenced, creating a complete semantic index that means never having to reprocess calls as new search terms are desired. The solution can organize calls into categories that you suggest and can also self-suggest categories of interest. The solution can inform you about changes in call patterns from day to day, as well as bubble up potential root causes for each category of contacts.

Speech Analytics Address Key Contact Center Pains
Root Cause Identified Results Why Are My Customers Calling? Website Password Issues Company Saves Op Ex by Identifying Improvements to Site First Contact Resolution Back-office Claims Process Lagging Timeline Clarification Improves FCR from 60% to 70% Sales Effectiveness Marketing Offers Too Complicated Agents Required to Read Scripts Less Complicated Scripts and Agent Retraining Increases Sales by 18% Customer Retention Dissatisfaction with Specific Financial Products, Rather Than Company Performance Agent Training in Cross-Selling Improves Customer Retention Rates Early adopters of speech and data analytics have successfully employed it to deal with typical and persistent contact center pain points. Cases in point include: One company investigating “Why are my customers calling?” found through speech analytics that a significant number of calls had to do with a particular website relating to the password sign-on process. The company was able to quickly address the site design flaw and the center realized a drop in caller demand. Another center was investigating first contact resolution. By zeroing in on calls that had identifiers embedded about “calling again” the company identified that while the agents were trained to communicate a 5 day fulfillment cycle, back office processing issues are pushing fulfillment out to 10 days. After 5 days, many customer would call again. With this insight, agents were immediately instructed to set appropriate expectations. A company found that over time they had inadvertenly created too many offers resulting in too much complexity for the agents. Unable to mentally navigate among so many options and requirements, agents were forced to read scripts. The results were leaden. With the insight provided by speech analytics the company focused on simplifying the offers and scripts, enabling more agents to “own” the script and add their unique personalities. This drove both agent retention as well as sales. A financial services company analyzed customer defections using speech analytics. They found evidence that a significant percentage of customers who quit doing business with the company actually expressed dissatisfaction only with specific financial products. They were still fairly positive about the company as a whole. As a result, agents were given special training in cross-selling and up-selling between different financial instruments and the company measured a significant “save” rate. A company with many skill definitions in their contact center organized along product lines used speech analytics to sort calls into well-defined categories and deliver particular category calls to specific quality assessors. Speech analytics can be used to super-charge QM assessments by only presenting transactions of particular interest to the QM specialist. A health service provider used speech analytics to research customer complaint calls. They discovered that “welcome kits” shipped by a 3rd party vendor were being promised by the service provider’s agents in 3 days but the vendor was routinely shipping them over a week later. New scripts were implemented and the complaint calls decreased significantly.
