Browse John's articles and interviews below on contact center legislation, outsourcing, speech technology, training and quality monitoring.

  • Legislation: Regulations such as the "Do Not Call" law, Sarbanes Oxley, and HIPAA are causing organizations to take a second look at how to best manage compliance in the contact center. At risk are heavy fines, costly legal actions and your company's hard-earned brand equity.

  • Outsourcing: In today's global economy, outsourcing makes good economic sense, but it's not without potential pitfalls. Companies lose a direct connection with their customers and rely on the outsourcer to be the ambassador of their brand. Placing your customer relationships in the hands of an outsourcer requires a great deal of confidence. But that level of confidence may not come easy, especially if the outsourcer is situated half-way around the world. In this article, John shares some simple steps for cutting your overseas outsourcing risk and explores how remote quality management and monitoring technology can play a role in keeping outsourcers and clients connected to better serve the needs of customers.

Advanced speech technologies are transforming the contact center, the hub of customer interactions, into the eyes and ears of the enterprise.

  • Training: Optimizing agent performance is a top priority for most contact centers, and they recognize that ongoing, focused training and feedback is the best way to get there. Still, with supervisors consumed by the day-to-day tasks of managing a center, training and coaching can fall by the wayside. In this article, John talks about the challenges that contact centers face in training and coaching agents and why e-learning and integrated coaching solutions are the best remedy.

  • Quality Monitoring: In this article, John discusses the common mistakes that contact centers make in implementing quality monitoring programs, and weighs the pros and cons of random versus 100% quality monitoring where contact centers can derive insight from all of their customer interactions. John also discusses how correlating agent evaluations to customer feedback can ensure that your contact center's view of quality is in synch with your customers' experience.
