Compare Call Center Software

ATLANTA, GA — July 28, 2005

Jacada Ltd. (Nasdaq: JCDA) today announced details relating to the enterprise license agreement it signed with Vodafone UK in the first quarter of 2005. Based on the successful outcome of an initial project in the customer retention contact center, Vodafone UK purchased an enterprise license and is implementing Jacada Fusion in more of its UK contact centers and retail outlets. As was announced on March 30, 2005, the software license agreement is expected to yield several million dollars over the coming quarters, with a portion of the revenue being recognized in the second quarter of 2005.

Vodafone UK is a member of the world?s largest mobile network, has 15.2 million UK customers and offers a wide range of voice and data communications.

Vodafone implemented Jacada Fusion to simplify how contact center agents in its SAVES group access and utilize applications across different computing platforms, as multiple problems resulted from having agents accessing two separate systems with no real-time data exchange or updates. With Jacada Fusion, agents can now access and utilize the separate systems through a single user interface, eliminating time consuming processes and tasks brought on by the disparate systems.

Through the single user interface, an agent can now look up customer information; perform a security check; check and order handset stock; build a deal; and automatically complete the wrap-up process.

?By employing Jacada Fusion, Vodafone has cut the time of a successful customer retention call by 50%, and we completely eliminated our manual call wrap-up process,? said Steve Johnson, chief architect at Vodafone.

?Vodafone selected Jacada Fusion because it provided a non-intrusive, rapid and cost-effective solution to help our retention group improve productivity,? said Johnson. ?Jacada Fusion met our criteria on several levels. It utilizes the systems we already have in place and is 100% non-intrusive, so it required no changes to our existing Windows and host-based legacy systems. In addition, the rapid design and development environment provided for an unmatched ten-week development cycle of the Jacada Fusion-enabled transactions.?

?Jacada is very pleased that Vodafone had experienced such success with Jacada Fusion,? said Jeremy Young, UK country manager for Jacada. ?We look forward to working closely with Vodafone as they deliver a Single User Interface company wide to their retail stores, inbound call centers, and corporate functions.?

Outsourcing Inbound Call Centers: The Road to Successful Customer Care

<!– @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } A:link { color: #0000ff } –>

Business organizations show reluctance in contracting an inbound contact center to provide customer services. Though they do agree that costs are reduced, but still they feel qualms on the capacity of a service provider to meet the objective of improving customer satisfaction for a longer period. Furthermore, they put no trust on the agents deployed by call centers because they have this belief that the telephone operators fall short in verbal communications and other required skills. The bad news circulating around about call center inefficiencies and ethical issues remain a steadfast barrier that prevents companies to risk their investments.

However, one of the roads in a successful customer care is through outsourcing. This is neither a fact nor a lie. Yet, it is a generally accepted strategy. If you want to liberate your firm from the costs and time needed to manage an efficient contact center, outsourcing is the choice. When you decide to concentrate your assets to core business, your top choice is to seek the assistance of an inbound house. And then again, you will contract a third party service provider if you want to obtain low costs without discounting customer satisfaction. Well, these are just snapshots of the outsourcing splendor.

]]>

A big issue in outsourcing is the transparency of a customer service solution. Meaning to say, customers must feel that they are calling your business entity that they are conversing with your workers. Customers need to speak with someone who knows your products or services by heart, who learns your work culture and your vision, mission and goals. In addition, it is but your unalienable right to demand that agents do possess competence in cross-selling and up-selling and that the contact center ought to quick respond to changes, both in the market where your company belongs and in your decisions as well. With this, you just have to exercise professional skepticism and due care in selecting a best-in-class inbound call center .

Aside from those mentioned above, here are some additional circumstances why you have to access the expertise of contact centers:

Your own customer care center deviates your focus on the core competencies of your business and resources are directed toward the services for customer support.

Your contact center is not producing the benefits that you expect to harvest. Thus, all investments, including time and efforts, are thrown away for nothing. This situation looks like you are adding costs without ROI.

The in-house call center casts key people skilled in product and service enhancements. The talents of this competitive workforce are exhausted not to the optimization of the developments for company offerings.

You only need a supplement and complement in your present customer care, something that serves as multivitamins to your existing programs.

Your firm lacks specialists in live answering service, expert order takers, effective handlers of inquiries and complaints, chat support and other services.

It is not of common knowledge that aside from lead generation, customer service is vital in customer relationship. The thing is when you opted to outsource your customer support, it is very crucial to pick the right telemarketing firm that fits into your shoes, that provides a wide array of services and that gives you and your customers quality aid while incurring reasonable expenses.

Recommendations for Employee Training in Inbound Call Center

Human brain is one of the finest technology that has the potential to turn every impossible dreams to a reality. But this is possible only when the process is systematic and guidance is provided to grasp the concepts in a sequential manner. If we take the example of an inbound call center, we cannot deny the importance of employee development and training. It is the foundation stone of success in any organization and needs proper up gradation and intensive care from time to time. As technology is changing at a faster pace, it is hereby essential to prepare the employees in respect to the particular job profile, they have been appointed for.

An employee in a call center outsourcing company may come from multiple backgrounds. But whenever you appoint the make sure that the candidate takes interest in the profile and align him/her as per the company’s interest and goals. Training offers them the opportunity to communicate with the innate goals of the firm and permit them to lay their path for the coming years. The human resource management professional are responsible for imparting the training sessions with a special attention to the present market dynamics. These sessions are not only important for the employees but also for the company that relies upon them for the future prospects.

]]>

If you want that your team of professionals excel the inbound customer services with a dedicated approach then you might have to take some considerations.

Most organizations keep their training programs optional due to initial high costs involved and do not consider it as an essential part of long term corporate strategy, which eventually will even out the expenses involved. Make training a necessity as it is very common phenomenon that mostly of the outsourced call centers minimize the training period in order to reduce the cost involved in it. Consider it to be the vital and try to develop some better strategies to impart the best by hiring best professionals.

Try to involve the management because without their participation all the training designs would fail. The entire training program can only be successful when there is a sufficient training manual or trainer is available with your firm. Training on a regular basis will maintain the skill levels of your inbound call center team and further motivate them to grow and get better at their professional areas of expertise.

Check out the results and measure the quality of work in comparison to the last project. You will be surely surprised with the success level going high and the confidence level of the employees that drive the business of inbound customer services to the top.
