Planning Examples

Leadership Workshop includes assessing whether the contact center strategy is aligned with

organization’s overall corporate goals and helping client personnel “get on the same page”. The

workshop is conducted with the guidance of a Sr. Consultant who can assist with the creation of

a clear vision and roadmap. Each workshop is unique but may include topics such as how to

enhance revenues and/or cut costs through a multi-channel service strategy, outsource or in-

source, implement self-service solutions, change from a cost to a profit center, consolidate, etc.

Assessments are the starting point upon which recommendations are based. DI identifies

areas of strength that need to be leveraged and identifies pain points that need to be alleviated.

We take benchmarks, best practices and key assessment findings and tailor recommendations

to the unique needs, culture and environment of each client. Assessments may cover all areas

of the Contact Center or only one or two areas listed below:

- Operational (i.e. people, process, technology)

- Environment (i.e. location, design, centralization, decentralization)

- Organizational Design (i.e. workforce planning, command center, quality)

- IT Infrastructure (i.e. ACD, network, call routing, IVR/speech, CTI, CRM, inbound, outbound, web/chat, fax, workforce management, quality monitoring/call recording, remote agent, reporting, etc.)

- Security (i.e. PCI Compliance for Quality Recording, Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance, Application Security, Internet Readiness, etc.)

Page 30: Di overview who_we_are_what_we_do_091011-ds

Confidential

Planning Examples

Reporting and Analytics includes a review of current reports, data sources and reporting needs

across organizations. Contact centers generate huge volumes of data and transforming the

details into nuggets of information is frequently an ongoing challenge, often involving an army of

analysts collecting data from disparate systems. DI will work with contact center clients by

collecting relevant data so that it can be "mined" for strategic insights and develop or assist with

the development of operational reports, executive dashboards, scorecards, etc. DI services

include the design and development of Cisco IPCC/UCCE or ICM reports with WebView, Crystal,

InfoMaker reporting systems, Genesys Interaction Center reports with Genesys Info Mart as well

as AT&T BusinessDirect reports and general Crystal reports with any contact center solution.

Business Case Analysis and ROI is an invaluable asset when making a critical technology

decision. DI will analyze the costs and benefits associated with adding technology (i.e. CTI, IVR,

workforce management, quality management, performance management, outbound, remote agent, etc.) to a contact center. DI will also develop the conceptual solution and design, with

options on how to implement a cost effective solution. The analysis will include a high-level

technology assessment, requirements gathering, interviews, time motions studies for agent

productivity improvements and other methods to identify actual business requirements. The

analysis concludes with specific recommendations backed by quantifiable results and cost

justification for securing budgetary approval for capital/operational investments. Fees for the ROI

Analysis typically pay for itself with added savings.

Planning Examples

RFP Development and Vendor Management services include support or management of the

RFP process including initial conceptual design, vendor selection, decision matrix, price

comparisons, and other critical items. The process includes analysis, interviews, and other

methods to identify actual business requirements. Information acquired from the process will be

transformed into a comprehensive RFP. The RFP will be sent to vendors qualified to meet the

overall business requirements. DI will compile the RFP responses, populate a feature-weighted

grid by vendor and will participate in the final presentation made by the top vendors. As options,

DI will structure a contract that will reduce the risk of change orders that are always involved in a

capital expenditure project and will also work with staff through the implementation phase to

ensure that all the features and functions listed in the detailed RFP are installed correctly.

Environment Readiness services assess clients’ readiness to support emerging and/or different

technologies. DI will work with clients to ensure an understanding of the impact of change, both

positive and negative. Services include a readiness evaluation that covers organizational design,

preplanning, human resources/skills assessment, review of existing/require IT infrastructure,

architectural design, operational processes and procedures and security implications.

performance of customers’ contact center voice processing systems, contact center services, toll

free, toll fee, local, remote call forwarding numbers and other telephone-related services. Monitoring

can be provided on as many numbers as is needed; and the frequency of test calls per hour is

specific to each customer’s needs.

Test calls are initiated through the PSTN, using customer systems just as regular callers do.

Greetings, prompts, response times and access to information is verified on every test call. Test call

inputs may be touch-tone, speech, or both. If a test call is not handled according to specifications,

the system immediately generates one or more notification messages to inform Dial Interactive of

the issue. Telephone and/or e-mail notification messages can also be directed to a help desk, an

individual, a voice mailbox or a pager. If the need arises to view completed test calls, review test call

flow documentation, turn notifications on or off or view various step response time charts, access to

a secure online monitoring site, is also available. Performance Monitoring is also available to test

Web systems.

Dial Interactive provides a weekly report with details of the test calls and error notifications. To

provide insight into the cause of errors, Dial Interactive makes complete digital audio recordings of

the test calls and provides .wav files of these recordings via e-mail, as well as online. With the

recordings, you can hear what happened and go quickly to the source of the issue.

Planning Examples

Load / Stress Testing services include performing several iterations of contact center testing in order

to simulate peak historical traffic volumes plus some % of anticipated growth. Automated 3rd party tools

are used to emulate simultaneous callers dialing into a contact center. The load/stress testing includes

dialing numbers and entering information into IVR/CVP systems, listening to (and comprehending)

responses. During load/stress testing, the Dial Interactive team develops high-level views of end-to-end

(greetings, access to account information, call routing functions, screen pop functions, response times)

operation and performance of the call routing, IVR and screen pop solutions.

During load/stress testing there will be focus placed on varying traffic levels in order to verify responses,

measure response times and potentially capture other critical data on test calls. For example, the

testing session may be broken down into several intervals which may include:

Session 1 test drive, not intended to run up to full capacity. The idea is to access, interact with and exercise the target

system. Issues will be noted and addressed prior to the next session.

Session 2 get the system up to full load and hold for a period of time. Issues and problems will be noted, documented

and addressed prior to the next run.

Session 3 get the system up to full load and hold for a period of time (assume one failure). Issues and problems will

be noted, documented and addressed prior to the final run.

Session 4 run the testing again at full load and hold it for a period of time to validate the solution is problem free at full

capacity. Results will be documented in a report that will be included in the system acceptance package.

Testing concludes with an evaluation of findings, gap analysis and recommendations that include

quick hits, short-term and long-term recommendations.

Design, Develop, Implement Examples

Process Redesign (re-engineering) includes global redesign services for clients with complex

contact center environments. Services include documentation of current end-to-end processes and

mapping those processes to identify potential failures at key points, incomplete processes, service

issues, handoffs, manual workaround points, escalation issues, touch points, screen navigation,

system access points, opportunities for self-service applications, etc.

It also includes redesigning processes for the desired end-state such as easy access to legacy

systems, eliminating duplicate handling, multiple handoffs, and redundant steps, identifying sales

opportunities, integration needs, etc. Processes in the review typically include:

Business rules
