7. Self-Service Solutions you can use during those “Tight Budget” times, that will…1) Reduce Operating Expense2) Increase Revenues3) Improve Customer Service

8. What is the simplest definition of Self-Service? • Any application that can give, get or collect information • May complement Web Self-Service • Sometimes in a Call Center environment • System: Avaya Voice Portal • Each port equates to one 24*7 virtual agent • Interfaces to telephone switch or network • Application follows a preplanned script and expected outcome • Understands caller input via touch tone or speech recognition • Interacts with callers using Speech Recognition or Text-to-Speech • Gets / puts data from and into an enterprise data base • May transfer some callers to agents • May transfer data about caller or collected on the call • Generates logs and reports for managing

9. Who uses Self-Service to provide their customers 24 x 7 access to information they need? Just about any organization you can think of… • Reduce most costs associated with serving callers • Proactive applications can increase revenue • All applications can increase caller satisfaction • Many solutions are cross-industry • Others are industry specific • Some solutions can be ‘packaged’ • Others must be unique for your enterprise

10. Example: Improve Customer Service Outage Reporting: Automate cable, utilities, or IT problems. Hint: IT use can simplify getting the box in the door for other uses. Use of other media • Out-faxing of forms improves speed, currency of forms used, decreases costs • Email and SMS messaging to reach lots of people quickly • Data collection for transcription concentrates interrupt-driven work • SIP trunking will allow pushing short “how to” videos to cell phones • CEBP will allow automated predetermined actions based upon observed events (such as drop in grades generating parent-teacher conference.)

11. Example: Generate Revenue… • Out calling: Fine China • Can call husband to offer a completer piece for wife’s birthday/anniversary. • Annual Christmas ornament order can confirm grandchildren’s addresses using TTS, or send some to the party location • CRM/CTI Call Routing (can be transparent) Efficiency and accuracy of agent calls • Pay by Check or Credit card • 24X7 ability to get paid: in and/or outbound • Avoid risk of agent access to financial info

12. Example: Reduce Expense & Generate Revenue… • RX refills: Cook County Stroger Hospital: Cheaper calls, PLUS timely meds keep patients out of hospitals at County expense • Appt Reminders: Carilion-Trihealth-Riverside-Affinity etc. • From Doctor Appointment at $90.00 up to MRI at $1000.00 • PET Scan: $400. 00 - $500.00 cost to hospital • Given costs and half life of radiological isotopes, appointments cannot be missed! • Call Ahead / Service Complete for HVAC service calls • Call ahead to confirm appointments (Saves $$$ in labor and gas) • Service personnel call dispatch office at end of service call • Collects homeowner caller ID and adds time stamp • Use TTS to read next appt location: accuracy and dispatch svgs • Avoid loss of services to Side Jobs. • Quality Survey: Call to access service levels • Services: Can also confirm and match dollars collected. • Call Center: Can match with agent, low score can transfer to manager • Medical: ID unhappy patients and avert malpractice suits

13. We use Benchmarked Best-in-Class tools to identify Cost Justification • Monthly Justification • Monthly Revenues • Monthly Costs Savings • Monthly Total Investment Cost • $ Justification = ($ Revenue + $ Cost Savings) - $ Total Investment Cost
