The Australian arm of electronics company Acer has chosen a Drishti Ameyo solution to upgrade its inbound customer service.

cer Australia said it required a solution to handle all interactions from customers and its wide-spread channel partner network by providing the right information to its agents in a unified screen for fast query resolution. "We were looking for a solution that could integrate with our backend system to provide appropriate information to agents, thus maximising their productivity, something which our previous solution was not forthcoming with," said Acer's Dan Balachandra.

Acer says the new solution provides the company with enhanced agent productivity, real-time monitoring of performance levels and allows management to make changes when required. "Providing our customers and channel partners fast and quality support can be a daunting task if our agents have to access disparate applications at the same time," Balachandra said. "Dristhi provided us with a comprehensive technology that integrated seamlessly with the ticketing system of the back-end CRM, and displaying a unified interface to our agents."

Multi-channel Service Strategy Methodology
Thursday, February 16, 2012

Today I conducted an Asia Pacific Webinar on the topic of how to 'Design an Enterprise-wide Multi-Channel Service Strategy'. We had close to 400 attendees, which is exceptionally cool and indicative of the interest APAC organisations have in this topic.

Some interesting info and stats I used in the webinar include:

  1. Australian contact centre industry about 214,300 seats
  2. About 7.6% growth in seats since 2011
  3. Expected to grow 4.1% by end 2012
  4. Predicted 223,100 seats by end 2012
  5. 56% multi-channel integration

And now for the Kiwis...

  1. New Zealand is about 29,610 seats (1% decline)
  2. The industry predicts stronger growth over the next 12 months with a projected seat size of 31,500 by end of 2012
  3. 37% multi-channel integration
