Benefits of the Coud Mode 20
Reasons to Migrate to the Coud Situations that require companies to consider making the switch: Business event causes a trigger Current technoogy does not have fexibiity Companies have infrastructure to run business; something changes in business; card stack crashes down; some event that causes you need to seek new opportunity; product reiabiity Known cost structure 21
Key Factors to Success Reay define your needs Organizationa (not repicating what you are doing today; how are needs evoving over time?) Do your homework up front what is driving you to seeking another soution? Make certain that you invove I/T or Business Unit (if driven by I/T) so you have a stakehoders invested in soution Needs are documented and considered eary on (you don t want I/T to find out too ate and throw a monkey wrench into it; bring them in eary to the project Not with patform itsef but it becomes infighting within business units themseves Fai to recognize the importance of I/T in the evauation equation Make certain that provider you choose has I/T skis to suppement 22
Coud and Integration How we do coud soutions work with existing appications (CRM, Anaytics, Ca Recording, Workforce Management, etc.) Look for someone that has depth of bench internay Can support a cient of your size and your appications; if custom interfaces have to be designed (custom systems/home grown) what it wi cost and how that wi affect decision Does provider have actua experience with integrations? References? Systems outside of their hosted/coud soutions they provide 23
Commitment Time If I go with a coud based soution, how ong am I committed for? Typicay for one year; in most cases, monthy agreements are avaiabe; good for outsourced ca center/seasona operations with high fuctuation of agents 24
Home Based Agents How do coud based systems faciitate the use of home based agents? Agent ocation doesn t matter Ony need high speed internet connection Easy integration Fexibiity Virtua desktop (agent wi aways have atest upgrades) Scaabiity (on-boarded/trained quicky) Training can be done onine; chat, emai, tier tutoring 25
Biggest Drivers to Move What are biggest drivers for moving customer interactions to a coud based service? Biggest reason is that there is one piece of infrastructure that is aging out where mfg. is not providing support; practica motivation for moving to coud patform Benefits of coud patform are very obvious; proven over studies and actua use; scaabiity; pricing, cost efficiency; proven over time; Wi this integrate with? What if it doesn t work with the IVR we just put in? The CRM? Compex integrations w/o robacks (from vendor) 26
Size Threshod Decision Is there a size threshod that shoud make your decision? Seen it based around # of agent positions rather than ca voume 25-50-75 agent positions; historicay you woudn t want your 1000 agent ca center in the coud What are your coud options? What does it mean to their organization? Does that mean that everyone ends up in the coud? NO There is a private coud option; trending 100-200-300 agent ca center is growing towards the coud 27
Outbound Notifications How wi mutimedia outbound notifications be accommodated with a coud soution? Proactive outbound notifications (boosts customer satisfaction) Let me know when my pane wi be deayed Let me know when my package wi be deivered But ony et me know when I want to know and how I want to know Pay by transaction rather than by the minute How do you hande an outbound transaction that turns into an inbound transaction w/o oss of service or information (effectiveness) 28
Chat How wi cick for assistance Chat for customer service turn it into a chat session or a ive phone ca (another too in your bag of tricks) to hep customers Many coud soutions have chat capabiity 29
