Contact Center Strategic Platform Assessment

WWT assesses a customer's current state people, process, and technology in specific areas against the Gartner top Magic Quadrant vendors. WWT Contact Center Advisory Team evaluates a customer's use of applications including Supervisor Desktop, Agent Desktop, Channel Management, Customer Self-Service, Computer Telephony Integration, Workforce Management, Quality Management, and Reporting Platforms to ensure it is maximizing the capabilities and driving success. The result is a road map and technology recommendation to the best-fit vendor that meets the customer's functional requirements.

What to Expect

The WWT Contact Center Advisory and Service Team works with the operations and IT Teams to evaluate current state functionality, define gaps to drive business outcomes, and recommend ways to close gaps and optimize solutions across three work streams.  These engagements are targeting key opportunity areas to improve workstreams and processes around Supervisors, End Users, and Administrators impacting Customer Service Engagement.

Assessment length is eight weeks (per application or solution – e.g. Channel Management, Customer Self-Service, etc.)

  • We consider your contact center's effectiveness from a comprehensive lens across tactical and strategic aspects.
  • Within each of the three personas, we assess the business requirements and identified pain points against the in-place technology.
  • This enables the IT and Operations teams to understand if mitigations are achieved through new technology, updates in processes, or through training and communications.
  • By aligning and working with a select stakeholder set we also ensure that the business needs have been voiced and that the overall solution meets IT and business requirements.
