A full-service broadband telecommunications
and video service provider, Cox Communications was among the first cable
operators to enter the telephony market and begin offering consumers a bundle
of video, Internet and telephony services on one bill. With an intense focus on
excellence in customer service and enhancing employee satisfaction, Cox
Communications' selection of Jacada Fusion Agent Portal is a key part of an
enterprise initiative designed to maximize the customer service
representative's (CSR) work experience by providing a simplified desktop.
Jacada Fusion Agent Portal boosts agent
satisfaction and productivity by simplifying the desktop environment and
providing advanced tools that automate cumbersome processes. By improving agent
satisfaction and performance, Jacada Fusion Agent Portal subsequently improves
customer experience and customer retention. Jacada Fusion Agent Portal is
powered by the Jacada Fusion non-invasive integration platform that works with
existing business applications to automate processes and improve workflows,
without requiring any change to existing applications.
"Our key goals for this project focus
on satisfaction levels among our CSRs," said Keith Lindsay, Director,
Customer Care Application Development, at Cox Communications. "By
delivering an intuitive, customizable desktop environment, our CSRs will have
the resources they need to deliver superior customer service to our
customers."
Jacada Fusion Agent Portal provides
advanced tools that simplify tasks for the CSR, reduce new hire training time,
reduce keystroke errors, automate workflows and automate redundant processes. A
dynamic scripting environment provides guided navigation for agents, and
'in-call intelligence' helps automate tasks such as call disposition and call
wrap-up.
"Ultimately, Jacada Fusion Agent
Portal will assist us in streamlining many of our contact center
processes," states Lindsay. The open, standards-based architecture,
together with the fact that the Jacada Fusion platform can work with any of
Cox's existing applications, non-invasively were key to the selection of the
Jacada Fusion platform.
"Companies like Cox Communications
recognize the critical link between agent satisfaction, and the satisfaction
level of their customers," said David Holmes, Jacada executive vice
president. "We are excited that Jacada Fusion Agent Portal is being
received so favorably by some of the leading customer service organizations in
the industry."
