Efficiency drivers
Challenge: Operational Efficiency
Challenge: Compliance
• Every aspect of the industry is heavily regulated
• Documentation of virtually all communications and transactions is required
• All processes and technology investments must consider compliance impact
High cost of regulation
How do you balance these challenges?
Process Efficiency• Train on processes• Monitor performance• Provide tools to
accelerate delivery
Compliance• Document all
transactions• Secure private
information• Verify and
communicate key information with client
Challenge: Striking a Balance
Solution: Voice Documentation
• Technology that creates digital media documents from business telephone calls
• Centrally stores voice documents in secure network appliance
• Provides the ability to organize, retrieve, comment upon and share voice documents
How This Works
1. A credit card specialist takes an application over the phone
2. You review the application and the voice document3. The process was not followed properly – SSN
verification was not given – so you note the error and share the voice document with your notes with the specialist
Efficiency Uses
• Provide best practice examples to staff for training
• Review periodically to monitor process adherence
• Retrieve specific documents to manage disputes or problems
• Give phone users ability to review voice documents rather than repeat calls to correct mistaken information
Process administration
56% of business contact attempts fail at least on first attempt* - slowing delivery!
