Big Data: Too Big? Too Much? What's REALLY Needed in the Contact Center?


Air Date: November 14, 2013
Time: 1 PM Eastern Time
Presenters:

Sarah Stealey Reed , John Neely , Erica Marois

Watch the webinar video below.

Join us as we show you how to use data to the best advantage of your agents and your customers.

Data hits the contact center from all sides. We’re inundated with metrics, reports, and unstructured contacts, on a constant basis. If used correctly, all this data can bring the contact center closer to the customer, identify areas that require improvement, and help improve overall efficiencies. 

But which data truly matters? How much does it matter? What data should you share with your agents AND your customers? And is there such a thing as TOO MUCH DATA?

Customers and agents alike are saying YES; we are in a data overload!

During this webinar we’ll look at which data points mean the most in the multichannel contact center and to the connected customer. We’ll review findings from ICMI’s latest research, “Actionable Data for Actionable Results: Using Big Data Inside the Contact Center,” and discuss which technology investments help the most in wrangling all these metrics.

You will learn: 

  1. How to use data to increase engagement and improve the customer service experience
  2. Which metrics are no longer necessary in the multichannel contact center and which ones should be reported up and out
  3. Where data is best used to solve customer problems faster and more efficiently and helps agents better assist customers

You’ll get an understanding of how to turn all this big data into ACTIONABLE data!
