Guideline for Contact Center Analytics

• Given a set of desired metrics, determine the appropriate reporting solution, taking into account data sources, data volume, and various contact center technologies (ACD, IVR, PBX, etc.).
• Given a scenario, evaluate the considerations when designing reports and dashboards to serve different stakeholders (agents, supervisors, managers, executives).

Contact Center Metrics

• Some terms:
  • Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
  • Interative Voice Response (IVR)
  • Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)
  • Private Board Exchange (PBX)

CTI	Average Handle Time (AHT)	Average time spent on a call
CTI	Average Talk Time	Average time spent talking to a customer on call (excluding hold time and other tasks)
CTI	Call Volume	Number of calls within a specific period of time
CTI	First Call Resolution (FCR)	Number of cases that are resolved through a single call
IVR	Call Containment	Number of customers who complete their tasks in the IVR (no agent involved)
IVR	Misrouted Calls	Calls that are routed to wrong agent due to lack of options in IVR
IVR	Customer Satisfaction (CSAT)	A survey can be sent to customer via survey app or from AppExchange app
ACD	Average Speed of Answer	The time that a call is answered by a service rep
ACD	Abandonment Rate	Number of calls that are hang up or disconnected before transferring to an agent

Other	Costs per call	Cost to handle a call
Other	Cross-sell/Up-sell	Percentage of calls that result in a sale

Designing Reports and Dashboards

• Example of each role's request:
  • Agent
    • Work on open cases owned by the agent
    • Monitor emails associated with their cases
    • Reach out to accounts that have not been contacted
  • Supervisor
    • Find out the best performing agent based on the number of closed cases, least case resolution time, and etc.
    • Identify the poor performing agents
    • Reach out to open cases that need to be closed
  • Manager
    • Monitor the case performance of each reps
    • Monitor the case volume and trend
    • Identify the cases that have been escalated
  • Executive
    • Identify accounts that are at risk
    • Check if company is reaching the target goal
    • view the day-to-day operations of support teams
