By utilizing current data collection and publication tools, Spectrum has helped organizations improve their corporate communications, customer service, and bottom line profits.

Of the many, one success story comes from an insurance conglomerates need to identify real time, accurate data delivered to staff and management.  The company, already an internationally recognized leader in their business, recognized that information that did not reach the right channels could deter the decision making process. Therefore, after doing a preliminary research into the capabilities of many industry competitors, Spectrum Corporation was chosen to correct the issue. 

 

The main problem was the dissemination of “key” information to a large audience.  Management was concerned that a visual tool could be ignored by their agents and subsequently would provide less and less value.  Due to the size of the main facility and the company’s other world wide locations, Spectrum decided to deploy a solution that would remain a constant visual aid to agents and supervisors around the clock.

 

Utilizing Spectrum’s powerful neXorce Enterprise and the XorceView Desktop client application to run custom reports for data collection/distribution purposes, it was decided that a real time feed coupled with a running “snap shot” of historical data would best meet the needs of the customer.  Using the robust collection engine Spectrum was able to collect data from the Avaya CMS and the Email Server making the already potent statistical information from CMS all the more important as a component of other converged data.   

 

Using this solution allowed for data collection, management, and distribution to a desktop client application running at every agent’s, as well as, ever manager’s desktop computer.  The solution utilizes TCP/IP delivery protocols, allowing distribution to hundreds of clients with minimal, if any, effect on network traffic load. 

Any process including a Spectrum solution will normally follow these steps:

A company spokesperson told Spectrum, “The neXorce Solution allows us to be more proactive, better manage our time, and feel like an important part of the team.  Our group’s performance has increased in our average speed of answer, total calls handled, and overall abandoned rate.  As a center agent, it can be very difficult to know exactly which line to answer or to which group or queue I should spend more or less time.  With the new [neXorce] solution we have created new metrics like Premier Callers Holding, Revenue in the Queue, and Dollars per Campaign.  I enjoy the new desktop client and have needed little time adjusting to its capabilities as well the instant messaging feature.”
