AVST Highlights UC Applications That Facilitate the 'Always-Connected' Mindset at EDUCAUSE
(firmenpresse) - INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- (Marketwired) -- 10/28/15 -- We live in a world of instant connection, where callers want to get to a live person on the phone or instantly see the presence status of a colleague. According to a recent survey by Consumer Reports, customer service continues to be a major thorn in companies' sides. The higher education market is not immune, as large colleges and universities receive a steady stream of inbound callers.
This week at the Annual Conference, (AVST) is spotlighting two applications that facilitate the always-connected mindset: ®, an informal call center solution, and ®, a virtual personal assistant. Both applications help ensure that callers' needs are met and that each caller feels important.
Higher education institutions rely on their call centers to manage a high volume of inbound calls. These call centers contain a growing segment of next-generation workers who not only field inbound calls, but also have additional responsibilities. AVST's TeamQ delivers productivity features for teams that regularly handle customer inquiries and helps them to manage their time and control their workflow. A cost-effective alternative to traditional call center solutions that are costly to buy and maintain, TeamQ delivers the functionality found in traditional call centers, but at a fraction of the cost. In fact, compared to a traditional call center solution, research has shown that TeamQ delivers a cost savings of up to .
With total office and mobile capabilities, Atom significantly increases workplace productivity and keeps people connected by delivering relevant and timely information to the caller. Always running in the background, Atom knows your location, presence and calendar status -- and automatically informs callers when you're out to lunch, in a meeting, on vacation, or just unavailable. Now, callers have the latest details at their fingertips, which can inform their decision to take an appropriate action.
"With more than 1,200 educational institutions utilizing our technology for campus-wide communications, AVST has a long-standing history in the education sector," said AVST Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing Denny Michael. "We continue to extend the power of our CX-E platform, with call center and personal assistant apps that efficiently manage customer interactions, problem/resolution inquiries and make every caller feel important."
TeamQ and Atom are easy add-ons to AVST's UC platform. Recently, AVST announced the latest version of CX-E, 8.7, which includes new enhancements to TeamQ and Atom.
