Case Studies

Business Communicator

Business Communicator



    Introduction


    One of our clients who are a national provider of data, voice and cloud services to the Australian market wanted to have a business communicator or desktop client which is mandatory in most leading contact center solutions. They wanted to expand on their hosted voice offering to include a series of features comparable to industry leading alternatives that will enable them to successfully position their product in the market place as a leading alternative to the known brands. If they fail to deliver on the next generation of hosted voice services, they risk becoming irrelevant in the fast evolving cloud movement and risk losing not only new opportunities but existing customers seeking whole of business solutions that they would be unable to deliver.

    Business Solution

    The Company used to receive huge number of customer calls for various inquiries and transactions. They bank wanted to have a solution which can automatically attend some of the customer queries as well as help in serving the customer by providing the right information quickly. The solution initially focused on customer service only. The solution also included an IVR system (Asterisk VOIP Based) for the customers to call in, authenticate and get online services. If required, at any point of time during the call, the customer can contact an available customer service representative (agent) in the company for more information. Some of the unique features required by them are:
  • A hosted unified communications platform
  • Web based management for add/move/changes
  • A software client for end user interaction, supporting full Lync style contact list, IM, call control and contact center engagement.
  • Two way fax support
  • Video conferencing
  • Voice, SMS, Email and Text Chat contact center
  • Outbound predictive dialer


  • Solution

    Our domain and technical team analysed the requirements and developed an asterisk based solution for the customers to call in. The solution proposed by us was to develop a unified communications platform based on the following software packages.

    Technology

  • Asterisk Open Source PBX
  • OpenSER SIP proxy and router
  • Linux HA and DRDB for high availability
  • MySQL database with replication and unified storage
  • Jitsi software communicator and SIP softphone
  • PHP web based configuration and administration of the PBX system.
  • The team of 8-10 resources took 6 months to create the phase I solution. The complete implementation and testing takes around 2 months.

    The Results

    The solution is developed and tested at customer site. The system reduced the waiting time of the caller by efficient management of queues. Many of the day to day Customer service related tasks were done without / very less human intervention.

Customer Support System

Customer Support System



    Introduction

    One of our clients wanted to have a platform which is intended to act as a centralized support management platform that allows customer service personnel (CSP) to handle calls during on-call hours. And when CSP is not available the calls should go to voice mail which should initiate a ticket in a ticket system.

    Business Solution

    The proposed Service Delivery platform will provide a means for Customer Service Personnel to respond to requestors in a manner that is audible, traceable, reportable, and measureable.

    Solution

    We analysed the requirements and developed a web based solution which integrates Asterisk for call management and OTRS for ticketing. Following processes / steps were involved in the system.
  • Administrative Process
  • Dedicated Customer Service Personnel (CSP) will be handling the direct inbound calls during specified hours. CSPs will be created and assigned to queue by the admin.
  • End User Process
  • End Users will dial the client’s on-call number, and be redirected to the CSP. When CSP is not available end user will leave a voicemail message and hang up.
  • System Process
  • Once call has terminated, the system creates a new service ticket request with information related to the call, caller id etc along with the copy of voice message left, to be passed to the ticketing system. The ticketing system will generate a support ticket based on the information received. With the new ticket in place, the system will then contact the CSP via Email, SMS to deliver the initial ticket reference. If no confirmation or acknowledgement of receipt is received, the system will follow pre-defined escalation paths until acknowledgement is received. System will be able to provide metrics-based reports based on SLA performance, as well as gather the necessary call details to generate accurate billing statements
  • CSP Process
  • Primary documentation and call management will be done by CSP through the web-based application. He receives notification and acknowledges receipt. CSP open up ticket, listens to request, and reviews it. CSP contacts requestor and manages issue to logical conclusion.
  • Customer Process
  • Customer may log into the application to review the actions taken on any given event and tracks status of the issue and also accept that the issue is resolved.

    Technology

  • Asterisk Open Source PBX
  • OTRS Ticketing System
  • PHP / MySQL database
  • The team of 5-6 resources took 6 months to create the phase I solution. The complete implementation and testing takes around 2 months.

    The Results

    The solution is developed and tested at customer site. A cost effective and efficient customer support system is in place which is also scalable and auditable with reports highlighting performance against SLA.
