cccInteractive Selects NICE Contact Center Recording Solution to Increase Customer Satisfaction and Boost Sales for its Clients

 

Major call center outsourcer picks NICE based on ability to automatically pinpoint areas where additional sales training is needed for select agents

 

Ra`anana, Israel, August 28, 2003 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a worldwide leader of multimedia recording solutions, applications and related professional services for business interaction management, today announced that cccInteractive, a leading call center outsource provider, offering sales and customer service for major utility, financial services and consumer products companies around the world) has selected NICE Systems for a recording and performance management solution to help improve sales closure rates for clients.  

 

cccInteractive is using NiceLog^® (100% recording and random recording of customer calls and agent screen activity), NiceUniverse^® (quality assurance application) and ScreenSense(TM) (screen-event triggered recording application) for several hundred agents across its two Houston-based centers.  

 

Using ScreenSense, the outsourcer can easily program the recording system to automatically capture specific types of calls such as interactions in which the agent checked the "customer not interested" box on the screen, indicating the customer`s disinterest in purchasing the additional product the agent recommended.  The company can then go back and analyze just those calls to identify any areas where agent skills improvements might be needed to ensure better sales closure rates.  It can also share this important information with its clients.  No other vendor offers this type of selective recording capability.

 

"We chose NICE because it offers us the automated recording capabilities we need to ensure we are capturing and archiving all necessary sales calls per our clients` request," said C.J. Johnson, senior vice president for cccInteractive.  "The NICE system also gives us the ability to randomly record select calls based on events occurring on the agents` desktop, such as clicking on the `help` function or opening a certain screen.  This gives us invaluable insight into how our agents are handling specific types of interactions and why certain customers are calling in.  This was previously difficult to identify, and these capabilities are critical to our business and our ability to service our clients more effectively than our competitors do."

 

"Our advanced solutions allow outsourcers to provide true value-added services to their clients in the form of increased sales," said Dr. Shlomo Shamir, president and CEO of NICE Systems, Inc.  "Using our applications, cccInteractive can create a window into precisely what is happening during its customers` interactions so it can quickly work to make any necessary improvements to better serve it own customers."  

 

Prior to installation of the NICE solution, cccInteractive was using a recording product from another vendor that required agent-initiated recording and did not feature integration with the computer telephony integration (CTI) system.  It made it impossible to garner the type of business intelligence it can today on behalf of its clients.
