With plans to roll the software out across global locations, we wanted to work with a proven supplier of innovative, forward-thinking technology - one that can holistically support us, and whose technology can meet our needs today and grow with us in the future."

Optimizing Performance with Quality Monitoring and eLearning

With Verint Witness Actionable Solutions' quality monitoring, the SAP Global TeleManagement Group can help ensure the consistent measurement of lead quality and agent effectiveness across all of its markets. The software's agent evaluations and reporting capabilities not only help access employee performance metrics, but also gauge performance levels against established business goals. Additionally, SAP can leverage the software's eLearning functionality by creating best-practice clips from recorded interactions and delivering targeted training content directly to agents' desktops - to rapidly respond to learning needs and highlight new campaigns, for example.

Streamlining Business Processes with Speech and Data Analytics

Automatically categorizing and analyzing call content with speech analytics will reveal and help enable the SAP Global TeleManagement Group to take the appropriate action on the root causes of business outcomes and high-call volumes. Further, with Verint Witness Actionable Solutions' analytics, SAP can identify and act on calls containing competitive information, market opportunities and trends that might only otherwise be detected by listening to thousands of calls. Data analytics monitors desktop activity of agents and back-office staff, tracking application use, data entry and screen content to renewal process issues, sending real-time alerts and providing important data for segmenting calls for quality evaluation and analysis.
