- Perficient an Alcatel-Lucent business partner specializing in the sales, deployment and integration of VitalSuite Performance Monitoring and Alerting software. Perficient was named Business Partner of the Year for 2010 because of our high level of service we provide our mutual customer.
- So what is the Dynamic Call CenterThe Dynamic Call Center is made up of four components.Network – Ensuring the delivery is timely, having the right capacity and expected performance so the people that are customer facing can do their job at the best of their ability.People – These are the that are customer facing. Understanding the impact of performance of the infrastructure is critical in their delivery. Process – The people drive the processes in a contact center. The process is support by the applications the people use daily.Knowledge – The process is created from the knowledge learned and information gain from customers. Know what product and services customer require and making the delivery predictable and repeatable on each and every call.
- The main objects of any contact center is either customer retention or revenue generating. Increasing employee job satisfaction is reflected outwards and noticed by customers. It also reduces staff turn over leading to better trained contact center staff.The experience any customer has when dealing with the contact center should be the same no matter the location. Agents can be located in corporate office or working from remote.
- Contact centers performance monitoring covers to distinct areas:Staff and call flow – monitoring staffing levels, having people with the right training to handle different types of calls, being able to schedule based on passed trends and future campaigns.Application and Network Infrastructure – this is monitoring the infrastructure that delivers the service. Knowing and predicting application and infrastructure performance, being able to know when added capacity is required and where it is needed, applying and monitoring the SLA for application and network to ensure contact center agents can perform at their optimum levels. This in turn provides a good experience to customers.
- What frustrates customersWaiting on hold too long - This is a classic frustration and the typical answer is to assign more people to handle the call volume. This may not always be the answer because what if the contact center is maxed out and can not support any more bodies – all seats taken at the workstation.Customers having to repeat information multiple times – Another typical problem, customers calls in, is prompted to enter the account information via the IVR only to be asked again by the contact center agent. This leaves the customer wondering what happen to the information they just entered.Longer then average call resolution time – No matter the type of call, inbound/outbound, chat or email you need to get to a resolution as quickly as possible. Having critical information readily available will only aid in the time to complete the call. The quick the resolution, the happier the customer.Being put on hold multiple times – Another classic issue. Agent puts the customer on hold multiple time possibly because of the next point, not having all the information. The customer perceives this as poor agent support, training or lack of efficiency or even poorly run company.What frustrates call center agentsSlow or no application response – Nothing worse then having a customer on the line trying to resolve an issue when the application on their screen is not responding. Providing pertinent information they require in a timely matter will reduce the time to resolve the call. The happier the customer is, the happier the agent is knowing they provided good service. Random computer issues – Contact center staff are customer facing. When they have computer issues affecting they ability to help customers, that frustration is transmitted through the phone to the end customer.
- In order to provide the ability for contact center agents to perform at the optimum, monitoring the Genesys platform and all that supports it helps eliminate Ghosts in the Machine and removing Another Brick in the Road. To do this we need to be Looking for Errors in all the right places.That means “Taking Care of Business”
- Call centers need to be Dynamic to handle the changing daily needs. That mean to understand performance and monitor the infrastructure with proactive tools Customers expect the very best in customer service Increasing call agents efficiency will reduce call time that will increase the number of calls handled by days end. Proactive monitoring in real-time will provide immediate notification to understand the impact and aid in the root cause analysis. Asset allocation, knowing when and where to add capacity based on real trend analysis. At the end of the day, it’s important to increase the over all efficiency that will over time reduce downtime.
- Monitoring the Genesys means looking at all aspects that make up the solution. Understanding the what the Contact Center Agents are experiencing with desktop applications, looking at VoIP voice quality and network usage, monitoring the various components with in Genesys such as T-Servers, monitor all the back end servers and application the run on them as well. Knowing how email, CRM or WEB servers are performing is critical to the over all delivery of a Genesys Call Center Solution.
- Monitoring for performance from End to End and every point in between means decreasing call wait and resolution time while increasing the number of calls a contact center can handle on a daily basis. VitalSuite Proactive monitoring will reduce escalation.
- Level 1 Reactive or best effort – most enterprises work in this mode, as events happen and affect availability, people get engaged to try and solve issues. Level 2 Proactive – setting thresholds for performance and receiving notification before availability is affected; looking at usage and monitoring for trends to help predict problems before they escalate.Level 3 Services – The applications drive the services, so understanding the End to End availability and response time is mission critical; Looking at capacity to know when and where to provide more resources, intelligent asset allocation.Level 4 Value – Every IT Department wants to add value to the goals of their enterprise. By providing a verifiable SLA ensures they become more service aware. Call center is not just an application but a mission critical service to the enterprise’s line of business.
- Taking a look at all the components to monitor with in a large Genesys infrastructure means monitoring End to End and every point in between. Knowing the performance of the back end servers and application running on those server. Looking at all the server hosting Genesys components such as T-Servers, Universal Routing Servers, SIP Server, Config Servers and GVP servers. Also looking a components running on GVP such as text to speak. Also know the call statistics like number of successful vs fail calls, number of call rejects and when they happened. Analyzing network performance of you routers, switches and circuits and if Voice Over is part of your deployment as well, then looking at how network utilization affects voice call quality. Monitoring the QoS is another very important aspect. For the Voice Over components, looking not only at the call server or media gateways but also down to the IP Phone. Monitoring the MOS and R-Factor scores. Tracking application performance from an end-users perspective provides insight to exactly what a contact center agent is experience. When and by how much are delays affecting their productivity on a day to day or hour to hour basis. Find out where efficiencies can be gained only improves their ability to deliver your companies message.
- VitalNET collects these statistics directly from Genesys.These monitoring points provide call volume on either a minute by minute basis but also by the hour, day, week and month. It also provides the ability to look at trouble indicators such as rejected calls by the minute, hour, day, week or month as well. For Genesys Solution Control Server (SCS) version 8, SCS T-Server Link – messages transmitted (#, avg rate, peak rate), messages received (#, avg rate, peakrate) is also included
- Monitoring statistics for Genesys is knowing what exactly is happening throughout the day. Looking at the number of calls on each T-Server or SIP-Server. Being able to know exactly when call failures or rejects begin to happen and getting someone alerted before it escalates.
- Monitoring Genesys means understanding all the server to server communication. Understanding the IP flow, number of transaction and if there any issues between them such as TCP connection drops or high latency. This especially true when monitoring communications between two T-Servers when they are in separate Data Centers. What happens when the communication between a primary T-Server and its failover partner drops momentarily. The failover T-Server communicates with the PBX to change the call route point. In the mean time TCP recovered and the failover T-Server returns to failover mode but calls may have been already routed to the failover T-Server. Those calls will be abandon or lost.
- VitalSuite provides simplified view of all key performance indicators and how they affect the operation of the call centre like VoIP Quality.
- In the past monitor Genesys meant only looking a Agent call performance. Now we need to look at all aspects including network elements because those links provided the plumbing to delivery the content the Concenter Center Agents require to do their job. Looking at network interfaces and connections for congestion and errors, understand when issues start to surface, where to look for a root cause.
- Customer databases, email, DNS, web apps are all critical to the operation of the contact center. Understand the End to End performance from an end user’s perspective provides insight into the concenter center agent’s experience in real-time. Having this kind of detailed information to make decisions presents new insight into application performance.
- Network wide performance management provides a complete overview of the enterprise's physical infrastructureMaximum uptime as a result of proactive performance monitoring and network-wide visibility across the entire IT infrastructure Increased Quality of Service by improving available bandwidth and managing time sensitive servicesInvestment protection: VitalSuite integrates easily with existing and emerging technologiesImproved IT efficiencies and reduced cost by centrally managing network performanceLow cost of ownership - reduce CapEx and OpEx outlays with a simple, economical licensing model, cut training time and expense with an easy to use web-based management interfaceSimple and effective capacity planningFast, easy deployment: identify trouble spots, verify Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance and optimize resource utilizationEnhanced end-user experiences: access real-time data to identify performance issues before they affect usersImmediate ROI: track usage data to consolidate or eliminate operational resources
