In the call center culture, workforce management is a common denominator across the board. Call centers need to properly forecast and schedule their staff while maintaining service levels and keeping costs in check. The right workforce management software solution can not only help manage the aforementioned, but it’s not a solution that has to be a luxury or costly expenditure.
Monet Software and their workforce management solution, Monet WFO Live was recently featured in Customer Interaction Solutions magazine, of which highlighted the affordability of using their workforce management solution and running a tight ship that is extremely cost efficient and optimized when it comes to managing call center staff.
Workforce management has come a long way with cloud computing technology now one of the biggest movers in technology. Workforce management in the cloud goes beyond traditional WFM solutions in that it’s easily integrated without having to deploy extra software. For Monet, that was a big request, to move over to the cloud.
