Impressed with Calabrio ONE

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently implementing the Calabrio ONE solution. We are mostly done with the Call Recording/QM portion and will be kicking off the Analytics portion next week. The Call Recording/Qm portions are a big upgrade from what we had and the user interface is very easy to use. We plan on enhancing our QM program with the AQM and BYOQ pieces to not only enhance the QM but also to score the vast majority of your contacts rather than a very small sampling. The analytics will be used to determine where we are at, so that moving forward, we have a better feel for what direction to go in based on that data. We are also looking to make business process improvements and offer better service through the analytics findings. The automation of notes is also something we are very excited to leverage. It will save substantial time on our ACW/AHT KPI's as well as provide more consistency in the notes that are being put into our CRM.

Pros

  • AQM, very impressed with the accuracy of the scoring so far and the comments that AQM provides
  • Automation of notes makes us more efficient and provides more consistency in the notes in our CRM
  • The analytics will provide us with data and insights that we could have never uncovered through manual analysis

Cons

  • Allow customers to collect data on AQM forms without putting a score to that data.

Return on Investment

  • Targeting 90 seconds savings on manual notes, which is substantial. Those savings will allow us to handle more contacts without adding staff.
  • Analytics will give us insights that allow us to make more educated decisions on future direction and provide data to make adjustments to improve both the Customer and Agent experiences.

Calabrio ONE Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Centralized place for WFM and QM. The new WFM product is worlds better than the classic version. The schedule optimization feature, built-in Insights, and the list goes on and on.

Pros

  • WFM, intraday schedule, PTO improvements, overtime offerings.
  • QM, evaluation form manager is pretty intuitive.

Cons

  • Maybe rolling out a new QM/QA, or integrating the module hierarchy into the QM/QA side of house.

Return on Investment

  • Calabrio ONE has improved our forecasting ability, where we didn't have the data (or easy access to it) in the past, is now available in canned reports or custom built reports through Insights.
  • Schedule availability to the entire call center. The introduction of the new WFM version has given us the ability for colleagues to easily see who is working that day versus not.

Great product.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for workforce management and quality. It helps address staffing needs and allows us to forecast service needs more accurately.

Pros

  • Real time adherence monitoring.
  • Forecasting accuracy.
  • Scheduling

Cons

  • Forecasting hours vs scheduling hours needs improvement. We have more scheduled hours, and the service level is forecast to be below the goal.
  • Better reporting. Having to go through multiple reports to find information that belongs together makes reporting tedious.
  • Better exporting options. We need to export as a CSV and it is no longer an option.

Return on Investment

  • It has allowed us to better assess our current shrinkage and determine staffing needs.

Calabrio ONE Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Calabrio ONE, contact recording and reports. This provides us scheduling, workforce optimization, contact recording, and quality reviewing, along with reporting to identify trends metrics and more.

Pros

  • Ease of use for agents to see schedule, requests time off and adjust scheduling
  • Easy to adjust scheduling for agents from a supervisor or higher level perspective
  • Identify if we are on track to meet SLAs

Cons

  • Built in reporting functions are difficult to use and understand
  • Building reports is often difficult to identify the right data to select to get the metrics or info you want
  • Every new function requires a new subscription level and what we originally purchased from the company and what was included has changed so much that a lot of the original stuff we asked for is not included anymore unless we pay more

Return on Investment

  • Positive - we have been able to better adjust our workforce to meet business need
  • Negative - we are missing contact recordings that we expect to be there due to system issues
