Aspect Unified IP is the main dialing management system in the call center, it consolidates all dialing lists and manages the outbound campaigns to reach customers by phone. Due to service providers' landline-specific characterĂ­stics, Aspect Unified IP was the solution that best fits our dialing needs and management campaign capabilities.
  • Outbound voice campaign management
  • Very effective predictive dialing algorithm.
  • Friendly agent user interface.
  • Very expensive professional services
  • Complex dialier configuration
  • Improve high availability
Aspect Unified IP is perfect to handle multiple outbound dialing campaigns, with tools that allow you to configure how customers must be reached, call them at different phone numbers by the time of the day, set priorities when dialing, or gather information about all running campaigns in dashboards in real-time.

  • Reduced 30% of dropped calls when dialing to customers (Fine Tunning over Dial Ports).
  • 11% improvement in transferring good calls to agents (excellent CPA).
  • 15% overall agent productivity improvement (good calls + better contact rate = outcomes!).
Aspect Unified IP has proven dialing and campaign management capabilities over many customers who had adopted its solutions over the world. Well-designed predictive dialing algorithm with a fine tunned solution to work properly with your telephony service provider make the whole solution the best of class in the market. The main negative aspect of Aspect Unified IP is the professional services to deploy and configure the solution which is the most expensive I've ever known.

Customer service agents that provide information status, requirements, additional information needed to move on internal process and analysis of customers requests and collections representatives that contact customers to handle their debts.

The IT team is in charge of Aspect Unified IP support on a daily basis, to promote script adjustments, new configurations, add, moves, and changes of features, skills, and user configurations. When maintenance or technical support, the IT team opens a case in the manufacturer to solve the problem with the platform or open a case with the service provider if the problem is related with calls.
  • Automated customer debt notifications
  • Automated process status notifications
  • Strategic Outbound campaings - High debts
  • Fine tuning of dialer ports to reach the best performance with our service providers.
  • Automated white list to avoid fines due to exhaustive regulations.
  • Integrate Omnichannel
  • Use other channels with AI to reach customers
  • Implement AI and ML to improve campaign management
Aspect Unified IP is very competent to handle most customers' needs in the contact center and it delivers what is promised. The only negative aspect is the costs of services, maintenance and professional services, too expensive.

The company was going through a situation of disorderly and inaccurate communication, which is why I decided to take the advice of a friend and manage all calls with this application. It has been amazing to me how my internal and external clients have managed to organize many adequate things including its way of serving.
  • When I administer and support this software for a few months, I can comment that, without a doubt, it is good software to start a call center with.
  • The main thing is to indicate that the software can be configured to have high availability with several servers that will help keep the service active.
  • You can count on several telephone lines that will be centralized in the appearance system.
  • The big advantage is that you have call recording and live video, you can also locate the video recordings of all the calls.
  • The reports are very basic.
  • There may be a broader reporting line, perhaps with more detailed records.
The system is very complicated for the initial installations in the servers, which requires highly qualified personnel for the start-up. It cost me the installation at the beginning but I knew it would be worth it because the use of an administrative control of calls is important and more when you have many service providers.

  • My financial control has been much more controlled.
  • I identify in my indicators everything that has changed before and after having the service.
  • The results obtained can be appreciated just by checking my profits.
  • The objectives set according to this application and the annual cost is being adequate.
The seal of this service was through the revisions according to my corporate needs and I really needed a system that would manage all kinds of calls and support that would give me an active service for a better business management. In fact, he gave me and discovered additional services that the company is using correctly in their daily activities.

Aspect Unified IP is used for managing our interactions with our customers and business partners. 75% of the business we do comes on the telephony infrastructure of Aspect. Its is used by our 55,000 retailers to place their orders and resolve their queries. Our end customers use it extensively for inquiries, leads, consulting and complaints. We have not extended Aspect to our employees .

Aspect was positioned to unify all the local EPBAXs we had and move on to a digital telephony system that allowed for personalization. Integration with our back end systems for context based interactions was another issue we solved with Aspect.
  • Aspect is a pretty stable and scalable solution
  • Aspect allows you enough hooks to build applications around it
  • It handles outbound dialing extremely well
  • Their professional services are capable
  • It needs build-in seamlessness of Channel - Omni channel is still not available
  • Aspect services are costly
  • Need to add AIML in Aspect
Aspect Unified IP is best suited if you have a good mix of inbound and outbound calls. I also like the fact that Aspect allows you to pick up critical information like voice packets outside the system.

Aspect may not be ideal if you are stitching an omnichannel experience that is out of the box.

  • Aspect Unified IP has been a great investment for us, and we have been their customers for 10 years now
  • Aspect is important for us in delivering WOW experiences for our customers
We had evaluated Avaya. It was pretty good as well. However, we wanted a more software driven solution. Aspect also was able to give better results in our Proof of Concept.

We use UIP, AQM, and ALM to manage the telephony needs both inbound and outbound for all of our servicing and funding call center agents. By using the same telephony platform across all of our groups it allows us to have consolidated real-time reporting across the organiation, as well as extremely robust call center reporting.
  • Integrates inbound and outbound call routing in one platform, allowing agents to work in a seamless blend mode between all call types (inbound, predictive, manual).
  • Allows you to associate an account number with every agent phone call, the call type, and the reccording ID giving you the critical datapoints necessary to research, put together a customers experience from a telephony perspective, etc.
  • Create agent templates to streamline agent setup reducing the potential for admins to configure an agent incorrectly, placing them in services they aren't skilled for and vice versa.
  • Their upgrade cycle is too agressive, especially for larger organizations that might not need to update their telephony platform so often. This is the main issue I have had with Aspect since we started using them over 10 years ago.
If you are a call center looking to take advantage of agents being able to work in both an inbound and outbound capacity at the same time I think Aspect is a no-brainer. There is no CTI connectivity to deal with. It is all 100% seamless between all call types (inbound, dialer, manual). The tools are very intuitive, and the backend reporting tables are easy to use/query. If you are a smaller inbound only shop or even a small blend shop this product might be cost-prohibitive especially if it is an on-premise solution. In those cases, their cloud-based solution might make the most sense.
  • As stated before, we have been using UIP for over a decade now. Prior to this tool we had agents logging into Avaya for inbound, and using CTI fuctionality to bounce the agent back and forth between inbound and any predictive campaigns. By moving to Aspect it allowed us to streamline that process, reduce agent downtime, lost efficiency, while at the same time consolidationg all of our call center telephony data into one central location allowing us to easily track a customers telephony experience over any period of time.
  • The only negative impact is due to the upgrade schedule that has made for some interesting challenges forcing us to utilize IT resources that could have been used on more critical corporate projects. These upgrades might not be as big of a deal for any company out there that does not have a lot of integration with Aspect such as custom reporting, data loads, API hooks, etc.
I have not spent any time recently doing a detailed analysis of other vendors to comfortably answer this question. I will say that the last time I checked, the ability to have all 3 call types (inbound,outbound,and manual) managed in one convenient seamless platform was not available which is very important to me.
