OUTCOME
Vistrada’s initial solution provided real-time and aggregated reports within 72 hours of the start of the program. Over time, we enabled 24×7 reporting on an ongoing basis for 18+ months, supporting data created by 3,000+ virtual, work-at-home agents handling 12,000,000+ interactions with local citizens. Service levels improved due to decreased call wait and call handle times relative to pre-pandemic levels.
Challenge
Client had an urgent need for call center reporting and analytics, in near real-time, due to the COVID-19 shutdowns across the brick-and-mortar facilities responsible for servicing millions of citizen requests. They needed to create and optimize the operational responsiveness of a new virtual call center servicing multiple governmental agencies. The scale of the response effort required analytics to be performed on the call center activity of thousands of agents and hundreds of thousands of calls within days of the start of the program. Mission critical reporting had to be provided to multiple stakeholders. Data was available via custom APIs but was not in a readily consumable data warehouse format. In addition, no infrastructure for data collection, data storage or analytics/reporting existed, but the client demanded a rapid time to market to meet citizens’ needs.
Solution
- Developed a cloud-hosted bespoke solution, aggregating data from cloud ACD, cloud IVR, and ERP/CRM systems continuously on a 24×7 basis.
- Provided online presentation of real-time data along with scheduled distribution of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly analysis of the data.
- The back-end components consisted of Azure Cloud SQL, Azure storage services, and Azure Virtual Machine.
- The front-end components consisted of a web portal using Vistrada’s .NET application framework.
The solution was up-and-running in less than 3 days, ultimately supporting 12,000,000+ calls and 3,000+ virtual agents during the height of the pandemic, while increasing citizen service
