Uniphi Connect centralises management of all of VAA’s contact centres and remote agents to its operations in the UK. VAA retains time-division multiplexing (TDM) phones at its contact centres while enabling 140 home-based agents to move to an IP infrastructure. It is also reducing network traffic costs when routing calls between contact centres, especially when call volumes are high. By leveraging the existing Aspect CallCenter ACD using Uniphi Connect, the company can now deploy new centres faster and more cost effectively without installing new hardware.

Leveraging Performance Optimization to Help Achieve Corporate Objectives
Looking at the intelligence created in the contact centre from a strategic perspective provides greater opportunity for engaging customers, maximising agent performance, optimising resources, and improving the quality of interactions and the customer experience delivered. And, when contact centres align strategic business objectives with the goals of front-line employees, it is much more likely to achieve success. Setting expectations in advance ensures that employees can be praised for meeting corporate goals or held accountable if they don’t.
