No matter the size or location of your company, every organization has an ongoing mission to deliver exceptional customer service at every customer interaction. That includes finding ways to overcome communication difficulties between the call center representative and customers needing technical support. If the customer experience is unsatisfactory, not only does it weaken confidence in the support team’s abilities, but it also reduces trust in the reliability of your product. This session will address various technology choices and the impact they will have on your contact center deployment. Discussion will include such emerging technologies as SaaS (Software as a Service), video in the contact center, and new multimedia standards, as well as traditional choices like VoIP, CRM and more.

In the rush to exploit the advantages of IP telephony in the enterprise and the contact center, call recording can be an unexpected speed bump. In traditional TDM environments, call recording has long provided a wide range of benefits, including government and PCI regulatory compliance, transaction non-repudiation, contact center quality management, and agent training. Preserving these critical benefits as the telephony infrastructure migrates from TDM to IP presents IT architects with some interesting choices. This session examines a variety of strategies that an enterprise can adopt to preserve the security, availability, and reliability of its call recording environment as its telephony infrastructure evolves from TDM to IP.

Every company wants a deeper understanding of their customers and they will gladly leverage any technology that promises to give them a deeper insight into who their customer really is. Customer experience solutions should enable businesses to adapt rapidly to changing economic and competitive circumstances, enabling companies to capture and effectively anticipate and respond to customer behavior in all channels, in real time.

The session would also delve into how service providers can pick through existing customer data to identify social network dynamics among users, and tailor specific offers to network influencers, connectors and early adopters, each of whom has significant influence over other social group members. This can allow them to cost-effectively increase sales of high-margin services by targeting the offers to receptive audiences, as well as reducing churn by proactively addressing the concerns of influential group members.
