About Call Center SoftwareInteractive Voice Response (IVR)
With an IVR system, companies can automate routine inquiries, such as requests
for account balances or questions about the status of orders, so agents are free toaddress more complex problems. Customers use the numbers on their touch-tone
phones to make their requests (i.e. enter in their account or order number), which
are then sent directly to a database where information is pulled and spoken back to
the customer using pre-recorded phrases, or text-to-speech technology. Many IVR
systems also offer speech recognition capabilities for additional convenience, as well
as survey functionality to gather feedback from customers after an interaction has been
completed.
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)
CTI bridges the gap between IVR systems, phone switches, and agent workstations.
For example, a customer exits your IVR system halfway through a transaction. As the
call is transferred to the appropriate live representative, all the information they already
provided travels with it, and dynamically appears on the agents screen when he or she
picks up the phone. This accelerates handling time and resolution, and saves customers
the frustration of having to give the same information twice.
Call RecordingYour call is being monitored for quality assurance. Anyone who has heard that line
has witnessed call monitoring software in action. Calls are recorded, and can be played
back at a later date for a variety of purposes (i.e. to evaluate an agents performance, to
settle a customer dispute, etc.).
Call Monitoring
These systems take call recording one step further, allowing companies to set pre-
defined thresholds, such as the use of certain words or calls that pass a certain length.
They work by either flagging certain recordings for supervisor attention at a later time, or
by sending an immediate alert to a manager, who can then monitor the call live, as it is
taking place.

About Call Center SoftwareCall center Analytics/Performance Management
Key performance indicators are critical to the ongoing management and improvement
of contact center operations. Call center analytics solutions allow supervisors and teamleaders to track their most important metrics such as first call resolution, call handle
times, survey results, etc. Armed with this information, they can identify the positive and
negative trends that impact customer satisfaction, and take immediate corrective action
when needed.
Workforce/Agent Management
The availability and effectiveness of agents is what makes or breaks a call center.
These solutions fully automate critical workforce management-related processes such
as scheduling, performance assessments, and training.
Key Benefits for Your Company
There are tremendous advantages that can be realized through the use of the many
types of call center applications. With call center software, companies can:
Increase customer satisfaction through the delivery of a higher caliber of service.
Improve agent productivity and retention.
Minimize overhead costs through a reduction in phone service fees and agent training
expenses.Boost revenues by empowering representatives to actively participate in marketing
promotions, and identify and leverage new sales opportunities.
Does My Company Need Call Center Software?
Every company has something to gain by enhancing customer interactions through
the use of call center software. The proof is evident in a recent CFI Group study, which
cites a direct link between call center performance, company reputation, and client
loyalty. According to their research, only five percent of customers indicated that they
were likely to take their business elsewhere if their issue was successfully resolved
by a contact center, while 79 percent stated that they would spread positive word of
mouth. Customers whose issues were not resolved promptly had much greater potential
defection rates percent and were more likely to tell other buyers about their bad
experience 76 percent.

About Call Center SoftwareAdditionally, a Genesys survey demonstrates that 7 percent of customers would
repeatedly buy from a company based on a great call center experience, while 0
percent would end the relationship if an interaction was unsatisfactory.
What to Look for When Choosing a Call Center Software Package
Integration
In order to be most effective, call center software applications must seamlessly link to
existing telephony systems such as switches and predictive dialers. This will provide
a complete picture of all call-related activities, allowing managers to gather additional
statistics such as call volumes, hold times, and transfers. As a result, they can better
manage workloads, and gain greater insight into the true customer experience.
Multiple Communication Channels
Even if your call center only conducts business by phone today, customers are likely
to demand service via email, chat, fax, and other channels in the near future. So, be
sure the contact center software you choose can extend its capabilities beyond phone
interactions to support communications via any vehicle.
Support for Virtual Contact Centers
The virtual model is becoming an increasingly popular one for todays contact centers.If your call center consists of agents that reside in numerous disparate locations, or you
plan to move to a virtual call center model in the near future, youll need contact center
software that fully supports your operations.

About GenesysNow a wholly owned subsidiary of the French voice and data communications company,
Alcatel-Lucent SA, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories was founded in October
1990 to prove that companies could provide better service to their customers by bringingtogether computers and telecommunications. That insight made Genesys a pioneer in
computer-telephony integration (CTI). It also established Genesys as one of the first
companies to understand that technology integration could solve a pervasive business
problem: poor customer service.
The companys first product was a client-server architecture that tied together all the
systems that had previously worked separately to offer customer service: the telephone
system, company data repositories, and applications.
Genesys delivers customer data to agent desktops the instant calls arrive, eliminating the
need for agents to search through separate data repositories for customer information.
The Genesys screen-pops of customer data saved agents time, reduced call durations,
increased agent productivity, and decreased overall call center costs. In addition,
customers received faster and better service.
Through the years, Genesys engineered an entire suite of sophisticated solutions that
give companies more insight into and control over their call center operations. In additionto computer-telephony integration and routing, Genesys provides call center managers a
comprehensive view of agent activities and real-time reports that reveal which agents or
agent groups are busy with incoming calls, how many agents are on revenue-generating
calls, customer hold times, and more. The Genesys platform also supports all major
switches, server hardware and operating systems for easy integration of existing and
new third-party applications - even across multi-site call center operations.
Today, Genesys continues to operate as an independent subsidiary, providing best-
in-class infrastructure-independent contact center solutions across any media for the
enterprise, e-business, and the service provider. Genesys has established an important
brand promise: software products that companies can trust to turn customer interactions
into richer customer relationships.
