Notes:
1. Interactive Intelligence Inc. (NASDAQ: ININ) is a global provider of unified IP business communications solutions for contact center, enterprise IP telephony, and business process automation. Interaction Process Automation (IPA) let’s you easily create process flows in days rather than months, deploy in minutes, and get a quick and measurable return on that precious IT investment.
2. Specifies the name of your organization. Used to customize the report.
3. Specifies the closest matching industry to your business. Used to scale salary costs to best represent the opportunities for improvement. 4. Specifies the best description of the call center operation locations. Used to scale salaries to best represent the labor costs for call centers.
5. Indicate the number of staff who will be provisioned with Unified Communications (UC) features, above and beyond contact center staff. 6. The total number of inbound agents, averaged over the past 12 months. If inbound and outbound contacts are handled by blended agents, estimate the number of FTEs utilized to handle inbound transactions.
7. The total number of outbound agents, averaged over the past 12 months. If inbound and outbound contacts are handled by blended agents, estimate the number of FTEs utilized to handle outbound transactions.
8. The total number of locations or sites where these agents are located, not including individual SOHO locations without on-site supervision. Default estimated to be one contact center.
9. The percentage of the total agents which are considered remote, not in a central location with local supervisory and technical support. 10. The total number of call center supervisory and operations staff managing and providing operational and administrative (not IT) support for these agents. Estimated to be the higher of one per location, or one for every 12 calling agent resources. Does not include IT
staff and support, which is tallied below.
11. The total number of in-house IT staff managing the call center staff. Estimated to be one for every 50 call center and supervisory / operations staff.
12. The total number of outsourced IT staff managing the call center staff. All staff estimated to be in-house vs. outsourced by default. 13. The average annual renewal of service cost for the entire system averaged over the next three years to support, maintain the existing call center hardware/software/solutions which are candidate for replacement with a proposed Interactive Intelligence solution. This is estimated at $500 per agent annually. Additionally, consider required upgrades or managed services and support contracts for IT services supporting the call center operations and agents, if these are to be eliminated.
14. For the inbound agents, the number of contacts handled per average day. Calculated by default as 10 calls per hour, with Details driven hours per agent per day.
15. The percentage of inbound contacts that are handled by live agents, versus being automated and not requiring live interaction. 16. The product of the inbound contacts and percentage handled by live agents.
17. The percentage and calculated average number of contacts per month handled by phone. 18. The percentage and calculated average number of contacts per month handled by e-mail. 19. The percentage and calculated average number of contacts per month handled by FAX. 20. The percentage and calculated average number of contacts per month handled by web chat. 21. The percentage total must equal 100% to proceed to the next tab.
22. Of the total work time per agent, the average time per day (as a percentage of total time) which is not spent handling contacts and that could be reasonably be recouped with aggressive policies, procedures, and tools.
23. The average number of outbound calls per day (averaged over a 12 month period). Set by default to be 8 contacts per agent per hour, with average hours worked per day from the Details.
24. The current percentage of these outbound calls which are auto-dialed / automated.
25. Of the total work time per agent, the average time per day (as a percentage of total time) which is not spent handling contacts / idle time.
26. A subset of the total number of inbound contacts, this value defaults to 50% of the quantity specified above and is used largely in revenue improvement sections of the model.
27. Per agent, the average sales transaction revenue.
28. The total number of active customers (purchase over a twelve month period).
29. The average revenue per customer. Can be derived as the total revenue divided by the total number of customers. Set by default to assume 3 orders per customer per year on average.
30. Selecting individual categories of benefits reflects what will be displayed in the results in the tool. Underlying detailed calculations are always available for review, even if not included in the results.
31. Inherent ACD and universal queuing in an IP contact center application suite quickly routes incoming calls as well as Web text chats, e-mails, and other interaction events. Queuing is multimedia-based, the CIC system distributes all media types using the same skills-based
routing as for telephone calls. Also open standards software architecture that makes integrating CRM solutions straightforward: complete a basic CRM integration in hours or days, rather than the weeks or months.
32. Unlike traditional call centers that handle only calls, a multimedia contact center provides service across contact channels for e-mail, fax and the Internet as well as the phone. Responding to e-mailed inquiries and FAQs in a timely manner can improve overall customer satisfaction. Especially in an eServices/ eCommerce environment, issuing accurate and informative answers to customer e-mails can lead to more sales, while automating the e-mail response process can decrease agent staffing requirements and labor costs by off-loading repetitive service tasks including FAQ responses. More and more consumers are using the Internet and companies’ Web sites to access information and conduct business transactions. To remain competitive, contact centers must also implement cost-effective online customer service processes—and actually improve upon the Web media channel in ways that traditional brick & mortar businesses can’t.
33. Tools for dedicated outbound campaign management solution for power and preview as well as predictive dialing. Providing a complete system for blended inbound and outbound predictive dialing, Web-based call scripting, multi-site campaign management, comprehensive campaign staging and more.
34. Personnel costs present the single biggest expense in operating today’s contact center. With rising labor costs and the demand from customers to constantly provide better service, forecasting and staffing in the contact center environment gain in importance. 35. Consumers have become accustomed to conducting business on their schedules, often before or after “normal business hours.” Offering them automated self-service options to access information and conduct basic transactions anytime they want therefore is a smart business decision.
36. Analytics provide an easy way for organizations to attain a rich understanding of its customers and enable insight and action across multiple touch-points.
37. The process of reviewing interactions and then evaluating those conversations for strengths and weakness against an agreed definition of what constitutes a great customer interaction is facilitated with QM and QA tools.
38. Unified Communications (UC) is a commonly used term for the integration of disparate communications systems, media, devices and applications. At Interactive Intelligence and in this tool, this includes the integration of fixed and mobile voice, e-mail, instant messaging, desktop and advanced
business applications, voice over IP (VoIP), presence, video and web conferencing, unified messaging, unified voicemail, and multi-party conferencing into a single environment offering the user a more complete but simpler experience.
39. According to industry analysts at the Gartner Group, a contact center’s soft benefits are “difficult to quantify, yet impact customer expectations and perceptions the most. Coupled with a more quantifiable benefit, this component often brings the most return (by way of lower operations costs, quality monitoring, continuous improvement, higher customer retention rates, etc.).”
For example, by investing in self-service capabilities such as IVR and Web-based eServices, contact centers can achieve the quantifiable benefit of automating more customer transactions and lowering their overall cost per transaction. More so, supporting self-service initiatives helps curb the requirement for long-term contact center growth while maintaining high customer satisfaction levels. Similar quantifiable benefits stem from improved agent and supervisor training via real-time quality monitoring and coaching, interaction recording, agent scoring, and other methods of continuous improvement. With such training and performance processes, agents and supervisors alike are better equipped to answer inquiries, deal with irate customers, etc.—which positively affects customer satisfaction, improves workforce morale, and allows a contact center to realize quantifiable benefits by lowering agent attrition.
