Integration Verint and ProcessRunner improves insight into front and back office work volumes

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

Until now, the focus in Workforce Management (WFM) had mainly been on front-office work. The planning of back-office activities, however, is equally important. This is why Morphis and Tele'Train integrated Verint and the multi-channel customer service platform ProcessRunner.

Esther Segers with Morphis: "This integration ensures that the complete work stocks are visible in a single glance. And this, in turn, means that from now on the customer contact centers can actually fulfill their service promises. Even if it regards work originating from channels such as email or post."

Insight into types of customer processes

The ProcessRunner and Verint integration ensures that back-office activities too are included in the capacity planning. Ron Apontoweil, director of software solutions at Tele'Train: "All the tasks that are still open and the decisions still to be taken are presented clearly, if desired per customer process, channel and department. It is not just about the number of emails and web forms, there are clear details about the subject of the contacts (contact drivers). In combination with the accumulated history regarding the exact settlement times for each channel and process it is ensured that each customer service can now operate with a very accurate forecast, capacity planning and efficient schedule."

Unique input

No one else in the market can provide the detailed information that the integration of the two systems delivers. More traditional email management and contact center software solutions have features for managing work stocks, but insight into the type of outstanding stock is not available. In addition, these systems struggle to bundle work stocks from different channels. Nor are they able to send a list of tasks through the workflow from front to back-office. In brief, the newly realized integration delivers crucial input for the effective deployment of personnel.
