Verint Workforce Management Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Workforce Management solution from Verint has allowed better visibility into our staffing levels, and service level projections. By allowing us to better organize our workforce into line of business (LOB) specific trees we can best tune our projections and with the forecasting tool align our schedules to arrival patterns. We also find request management for time off gives our employees better empowerment of the time off process in which they are able to see available time off and get instant feedback for requests.

Pros

  • Service Level Projections
  • Volume forecasting
  • Request Management
  • Customization

Cons

  • Better Reporting
  • Audit Trails
  • Capacity Planning

  • Improved employee satisfaction with time off
  • Better alignment on schedules to forecast patterns

Verint Rocks

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization uses Verint for tracking purposes, such as agents scheduling, call monitoring and leave. The problem the product addresses is allowing the agents to compare their AHT from previous days in order to set new goals to either continue meeting AHT or setting goals to meet it if the system displays that they have not been meeting their AHT goal.

Pros

  • AHT
  • Scheduling
  • Call Monitoring
  • Time off Requests

Cons

  • More features to make the time off request process less tedious

Return on Investment

  • Prior to Verint agents were not able to view their own AHT. They had to wait for the data to be sent to them. Since, Verint, this has been accessible to them on a day to day basis.
