My Calabrio ONE Review
Score 9 out of 10

We use Calabrio ONE to communicate each of our employees' schedules and days off. Some issues we may face as a business are employees not being scheduled how they want or wish. Another issue is employees had to send us emails with their preferred shift or day off and this is time-consuming and causes delays. With Calabrio ONE, employees are now able to view each other's schedules and submit shift trade requests. The request is immediately sent to the other party and once accepted the immediate supervisor is acknowledged and can either accept or decline.
- Submit shift trade requests.
- At home access.
- Very user friendly.
- Requests are automatically declined with supervisor's acknowledgement.
- Automatically changes schedules.

Calabrio ONE WFM v9.3
Calabrio One is being used by a few departments, not company-wide. We have both AQM and WFM modules. I don't regularly use AQM, so this review is for WFM only. I have been using it since mid-year 2016. We replaced our prior WFM software with Calabrio as part of a multi-system upgrade in Dec 2015. There are some positives and some negatives switching from our former WFM software to Calabrio. Part of the problem is we have an older version of Calabrio WFM. I believe the newer version(s) will rid me of some work-arounds I've had to create when we changed software. We are due to upgrade to a newer version in Dec 2018.
- The Copy Schedule feature has definitely been a plus. We did not have that feature in our former WFM software.
- The particular window views for the Scheduler Role are more aesthetic/user friendly than our former WFM software.
- Being able to add activities, exceptions or projects in as little as 5 minute increments is a plus.
- Our Version 9.3 needs a lot of improvement with sorting, filtering capabilities that I believe later versions address.
- Version 9.3 does not send notice emails to agents when a schedule has been changed. Our former software did. I believe newer versions have this feature.
- No "what if" function or module to test schedules/forecasts without Agents seeing their own schedules. If you want to "play with" scenarios, you have to use a time frame/schedule far into the future to prevent Agents from seeing this. I don't believe any of the newer versions have addressed this problem/issue.
- Agents are not able to submit Shift Preferences in Calabrio. Our former WFM software had that capability. Now I have to record Agents' preferences on an Excel spreadsheet and schedule regular intervals for which they can submit their preferences.

Calabrio ONE... The multidisciplinary tool you were looking for!
Calabrio ONE is being used in our organization by some departments, with plans to have several more use it in 2019. Since we have several different lines of business, the applications are different. Some use it for first call resolutions opportunities, some for compliance, staffing, forecasting, call recording, and quality assurance. The list goes on. Being able to quickly identify those areas of concern is a big item for us, as well as being able to staff accordingly to maximize our customer experience and minimize agent burnout.
- Call recording is very easy to navigate and find the calls you are looking for without complicated filters.
- Planning (Forecasting, Staffing) - The fact that within 5 minutes you can run a forecast, schedule, and know what your needs are... AMAZING!!
- Analytics are very intuitive. It is easy to create dashboards so your information is more "digestible," which is a big win. We're still pushing the limits to see what else we can get out of it.
- Workflows... they sure make your job that much easier!
- Reporting I think could be a little more robust, but then again, they do have Calabrio advanced reporting. We are not using it at this time, but it is on my wishlist. The reporting that comes with it is still pretty decent. You can create some good reports for high level information from your automatic call distributor data, but for the Calabrio Data, it is really good. I wish it would have more ways to summarize the information instead of interval. Having that option would be nice.

Our quality assurance team utilizes Calabrio to evaluate calls that our counselors are making. This helps us to uphold GCU's policies, procedures, and service standards.
- Great customer service!
- They listen to our feedback to implement new feature requests.
- They hold a convention each year which provides educational and networking opportunities.
- It would be great to see Calabrio add a feature for chat teams. We can create an evaluation for those on our chat team but we have to view the actual chat interactions in a different system.

Calabrio One Intuitive by Design

Calabrio One has allowed our company to listen and evaluate over 5,000 calls a month. Our quality assurance department uses Calabrio as their main system for daily use. We also train all new employees on the use of Calabrio, so they can also listen to their calls and view their scored evaluations.
- Calabrio focuses on the needs of the customer. They really want to know how they can advance their product.
- Calabrio has made it easy for our end-users to be involved in the QA process. Agents regularly are in Calabrio listening to their calls and reviewing their evaluations.
- Love the Calabrio Champions Network that gives all users a way to stay in touch with new happenings in the IT world as well as within Calabrio.
- Reporting, we often pull reports directly from the Recording Tab since it allows for more data.
- Goals, we are currently working tandem with Calabrio to create a way for Goals to work for our organization.
- I would like to see a few small changes with how the hierarchy is set up when creating teams and groups within the system.

Calabrio's strengths and weaknesses
We use Calabrio to monitor calls and as the forecasting, scheduling and reporting system for our contact center. Calabrio is used to forecast upcoming customer volume, monitor the quality of the contact that we have with our customers and to report on many of the key metrics within our contact center.
- Calabrio's greatest asset is it's simplicity and usability. We are able to quickly train employees on the usage of the software and have them up and running on certain functions within day of introducing it to them.
- The intra-day staffing in the WFM module does a good job of tracking intra-day volume patterns that would be tedious to track in a spreadsheet.
- The dashboards in Kronos gives agents a quick view of many of the stats that they will be measured against.
- Calabrio's scheduling module has room for improvement. I recommend adding options that will allow you to quickly add or delete multiple exceptions for a group or an individual.
- Calabrio should add an option the will automatically optimize existing breaks and lunches based on the schedule rules and updates to schedules since they were initially published.
- I'd like to have a feature in Calabrio that will automatically approve or deny employees requests for vacation based on the staffing number and other staff rules that are set.
- For shift bidding, I'd like to have the option to create several schedule types and have Calabrio create the best coverage based on the available staff and the existing forecast.
- In my practice, I have found that some reports have stats that should be weighed but are presented as a standard average (arithmetic mean) instead.
- I'd like to have granular reporting on staff shrinkage that has occurred in the past so that I can use that data for future staff planning.

Calabrio ONE is used within our organization for quality management through call evaluation. The application is used in all areas of our organization for call recording and coaching purposes. Calabrio ONE assists with ensuring excellent customer experience in all contacts.
- Ease of Use - Calabrio is incredibly easy to use, train and maintain.
- Streamline Processes - Calabrio allows for the streamlining of the call evaluation and reporting processes.
- Thorough - Many quality management products record only a small selection of calls, however, Calabrio does a fantastic job of recording all calls made on a daily basis.
- Some features within Calabrio are, essentially, great features, however it does not seem as though these features were created with the end user in mind.
