Improve quality of agent handling of interactions by deriving insights from interaction recording along with recorded desktop activity, quality evaluations, speech & text analytics and post-interaction survey.

What's the challenge?

Contact centers are required to record & retain customer interactions across channels. They also need to record agent desktop activity during interactions to meet compliance requirements and gain insights on Agent performance. Contact centers need an easy to use interface for evaluating the quality of specific interactions and an integrated survey solution to identify opportunities for improvement.

What's the solution?

Genesys Cloud CX records and retains all customer interactions, to meet regulatory requirements. Recording the agent desktop activity provides insight on agent effectiveness in addressing customer needs. Genesys Quality Evaluation includes evaluation forms for use with recorded interactions. Voice transcription enables Speech to text conversion of voice recordings. Post-interaction Survey is built in to the platform. These integrated Quality tools helps improve the Quality of the Contact center.

Use Case Overview

Story and Business Context

The success of a contact center hinges on its ability to provide a high-quality experience to customers, achieve consistently high levels of quality and meet regulatory compliance. Further, Quality evaluators, Quality administrators, and Quality managers need efficient tools and integrated automated processes to ensure that all interactions are handled effectively and efficiently. Hence, Contact centers need systems that provide the functionalities to monitor, record, and evaluate the quality of agent customer interactions on all communication channels combined with recorded agent desktop activity. Further, the system should also have features to obtain customer satisfaction feedback through surveys upon the conclusion of their interaction with the contact center.

Businesses must evaluate the quality of their interactions to identify opportunities for improvement, but it’s not efficient to evaluate every interaction. There is a need to distinguish important from routine interactions and generate the results in a consistent and automated manner. Also company's need to prevent risk arising out of lack of compliance and loss of valuable information.

Genesys Cloud CX^TM Quality Assurance and Compliance consists of Integrated tools that help customers meet the above challenges. Genesys Cloud CX Interaction recording reliably records all voice and digital interactions and makes it easy to search and access recordings. Genesys Multi-monitor screen recording captures the agent desktop activity for up to four monitors while handling ACD interactions.

Genesys Cloud CX Speech and text analytics is a set of features that provide automated speech and text analytics capabilities on all interactions to provide deep insight into customer-agent conversations. For voice interaction, speech and text analytics provides automated transcription and employs speech-to-phrase grammar-based recognition. Along with non-linguistic analysis of recordings, speech and text analytics creates meaning from otherwise unstructured data. Sentiment analysis and Topic spotting enable Quality Managers to understand the overall sentiment of the interaction.

Genesys Cloud CX Quality Evaluation features includes flexible evaluation forms for use with any recorded interaction. The evaluation workflow provides both automated and ad hoc assignments, easy access to results and scheduling for ad hoc coaching. Quality Evaluation results enable contact centers to analyze performance for continuous agent improvement and improved customer experience.

Genesys Cloud CX's survey is built in to the platform and is used to send a survey to customers after any media interaction i.e. call, email, chat, and messaging. The survey includes an easy to use flexible form builder with multiple question types for a standard post-interaction satisfaction survey or a post-interaction NPS survey. Genesys sends the survey to the customer via email with a web link to the survey. Geneys Cloud built in survey solutions allows organizations to gain insight into customer satisfaction/experience regardless of the channel and other related contact center metrics.

Organizations can use Genesys Cloud CX Quality Evaluation and Compliance tools to fulfill key use cases around agent performance improvement (decrease AHT, increase FCR, sales conversion, compliance, and customer satisfaction). These precise tools help improve employee culture, technology, and operations to plan and execute strategies that bring contact center quality to new heights.
