Contact Centre Efficiency

Organisations require efficiency – your customers demand service

Research has shown the 21st century consumer is more demanding. Always on, technology savvy and more mobile, today's consumers are taking control of how and when organisations contact them and increasingly expecting 24/7 interaction, via a range of channels.

The impact on the contact centre of this rise in consumer expectations cannot be underestimated. In a crowded marketplace where costs are being squeezed and switching is easy, organisations are under growing pressure to revamp the way in which they manage contact with customers and prospects.

Organisations need to consider how they satisfy these escalating demands while balancing costs, or risk losing their competitive position.

Contact Centre Efficiency is at the heart of this revolution. Click here to learn more >>

Automating customer contact

Many customer enquiries will always need to be handled on a personal, one-to-one basis. In an ideal world, perhaps all enquiries would be managed this way. In the real world, however, organisations have to balance the cost of running a large-scale customer service organisation with the value that can be added to each type of customer interaction.

For simple, repetitive enquiries, it can be faster and more cost-effective to allow customers to find the answers themselves. Customer self-service can help an organisation to keep its service costs low, and in many cases, provide a higher quality service by removing the need for customers to wait until an agent is available.

It also benefits customers who do need to speak with an agent by reducing the call load from enquiries that can be handled automatically.

BT Self-Service
BT Self-Service lets you automate response to simple, repetitive customer enquiries so that your agents can focus on more valuable activities. You can provide a 24x7 response, reduce the need to transfer calls internally, and reduce the number of agents required to handle inbound enquiries.

BT Self-Service capabilities are provided for a simple monthly fee, and scale easily to match changing contact volumes. Hosted on BT’s world-class network infrastructure, these managed services are based on solutions from BT and other leading providers, including Eckoh, Nortel SS and Avaya IR. They include:

  • Network Interactive Voice Response – automate repetitive telephone enquires and allow callers to obtain the information that they require.
