FREE WEBINAR:
Binding People, Process, Information and Systems to
Improve the Customer Experience with Operational Intelligence
Thursday, September 17, 2009 2:00 PM EDT / 11:00 AM PDT
|
Current business intelligence approaches or business activity monitoring (BAM) systems are falling short of the mark of today’s demanding business environments. Data provided by these systems are typically limited in context and recency and do not provide guidance for actions to take when there is a threshold violation. When it is no longer acceptable to add resources to an environment that is only 70% optimized, organizations need to look elsewhere to find the ways in which they can optimize operations in order to improve the customer experience. Operational Intelligence is the key. Richard Snow, VP & Research Director for Customer & Contact Center Management at Ventana Research, will discuss how to use Operational Intelligence to improve the customer experience. Stuart Granger, VP of Performance Management and Analytics, and Jeff Woodland from the Product Marketing team at Genesys will further discuss how customers have applied Operational Intelligence to not only make a difference in their customers’ experience, but also how they were able to leverage the operational intelligence to further optimize their operations.
What attendees will learn:
- Why focusing on operational and event-focused data will help you improve customer experience
- Why it is necessary to combine both real-time and historical data to get a true picture of what is happening
- How to apply the three step process of operational performance management to create stronger alignment between the contact center and corporate strategies.
Who should attend:
- Contact Center Managers
- Contact Center Operations
- Customer Experience Managers and Executives
- Customer Care Managers and Executives
- Customer Service Managers and Executives
- Operations Managers and Executives
