WFO is a dynamic puzzle of technology, processes and resources, that when properly put together can be the key to optimizing the contact center. Join us as we show you how to put the WFO pieces together to save your contact center money and valuable time!

There’s no denying that the contact center is becoming more complicated.  Every time a new channel is added, or a new customer type is identified, the contact center must quickly adapt. Fortunately, the contact center already has a powerful set of tools to leverage; their workforce optimization (WFO).

WFO puts automation, insight, and predictability easily into your hands.  Not only will WFO save your contact center money and valuable time, it will also provide you with an incredible understanding of your customers and agent needs.

Join ICMI and inContact as we show you how to put the WFO pieces together!  We’ll review the findings from ICMI’s latest workforce optimization research and truly show you how to harness the power of the contact center.

You will learn:

  • The pieces of the 2014 WFO puzzle that you need to have
  • How you can leverage WFO in your contact center and your company
  • How WFO can reduce the manual challenges of the contact center
  • The ways to connect your IVR, ACD, Dialer, and WFO together for predictability and insight

ICMI and inContact will show you that no matter what your size, or what your budget, WFO can work for you.  You just need to know how put the WFO pieces together.

Join us for this interactive and informative hour—complete with audience polls and live Q&A.
