February 14, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
TORONTO, Ontario. – 24-7 INtouch, an award winning contact center outsourcer, announced today the partnership with Aspect Software, the world’s largest company solely focused on the contact center, in selecting their Aspect® eWorkforce Management™ tool. The addition of the industry leading workforce management (WFM) software promises 24-7 INtouch increased efficiencies in staffing, forecasting, scheduling, and greater productivity of their agents, ultimately providing improved and consistent service to clients.“By adding Aspect Software as a technology partner, we are able to improve our current WFM methodologies and ensure all our clients are receiving quality service levels for each of their calls. This added focus on consistency will translate into increased competitiveness, revenue growth, and a strong reputation among our clients,” says Greg Fettes, President and CEO of 24-7 INtouch.
Workforce management is a constant balancing act between work required and resources available, especially within an outsourced environment. A contact center that is unable to anticipate call volume precisely will experience overstaffing or understaffing. The results are additional cost to the company due to excess manpower, or inferior service due to a shortage in staff thus translating into customer and client dissatisfaction.
“Many companies do not understand the importance and sensitive nature of contact center scheduling. With WFM, we constantly strive to hold ideal agent occupancy rates and consistent service levels, all while simultaneously controlling costs,” states Fettes.
“By implementing Aspect eWorkforce Management, 24-7 INtouch is embracing innovative workforce optimization technology to maximize resources and increase productivity, which ultimately helps create positive company-customer interactions,” says Ralph Breslauer, executive vice president of sales and marketing, Aspect Software.
