Verint Presents BMO Bank of Montreal and Garmin with 2016 Engage Global Customer Awards


Verint® Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT) today announced that BMO Bank of Montreal has been named the winner of its 2016 Engage Global Customer Awards Program in the "Enriching Interactions (News - Alert)" category. Garmin was also recognized, receiving the "Highly Commendable" distinction in the same category. The awards were announced at the Verint Engage 2016 Global Customer Conference that took place last week at the Hilton Chicago.

Winner: BMO Bank of Montreal

The "Enriching Interactions" honor was presented to BMO's Gigi Gonyea, senior manager, voice of the customer, and Kelly Carver, manager, customer experience analytics. Both were recognized as power users behind the organization's implementation of Verint (News - Alert) Speech Analytics. BMO has leveraged the solution to create a Customer Experience Analytics team that has become a trusted source of insights for customer and agent experience across five contact centers in North America. In fact, the data collected in these centers yields intelligence that the organization uses to identify and respond to high volume, low value calls and to quickly surface and act upon the call drivers that yield longer handle times and frustration.

BMO leverages speech analytics to create substantive categories, identify call drivers, and develop mitigation tactics to proactively address them effectively across the organization. In one example, the organization took corrective action that resulted in a reduction of 3,000 calls per month. BMO also identified the top five drivers of repeat calls, developing training materials, employee communications and manager coaching to address the root causes.

Highly Commendable: Garmin (News - Alert)

Garmin's IT Web Application Manager Shari Barr and Product Support Manager Meggan True were honored with the "Highly Commendable" distinction for their ork creating a unified customer experience vision. Garmin looked to Verint Engagement Management and Workforce Optimizationsolutions to help address differences in customer expectations across countries, such as varying contact center staffing levels, time zones and language requirements.



Under the leadership of Barr and True, the organization leveraged voice of the customer post-contact surveys, call recording/quality management and agent scorecards to support its global customer engagement management efforts, as well as to provide meaningful feedback, proper training and impactful recognition of its contact center agents. Doing so has resulted in Garmin gaining new levels of visibility into customer call drivers; benefitting from intelligence that has brought valuable insights in its engineering, marketing and operations teams; and reporting increases in both customer and agent satisfaction levels.

"Once again, we would like to congratulate our winners-this time in the enriching interactions category," adds Ryan Hollenbeck, senior vice president, global marketing, Verint. "This is an area where our customers continue to reinforce a commitment to driving high-quality customer experiences, and the critical role it plays to their success in optimizing customer engagement."
