Traditionally Call Centers were considered as Service Organizations and focus of companies has been to collect metrics that can help reduce the cost and improve the quality of the call center operations. Accordingly the data that is collected and summarized is based on the type of the call, time taken to answer the call and who is answering the call. Cisco Unified Intelligent Suite is the new reporting platform for the Cisco Unified Contact Center environment. With CUIS, it is possible to generate reports from either the Unified ICM/CCE 7.5 or the Unified ICM/CCE 7.2 AW/HDS database. With CUIS it is easy to generate Summary, Detail and Drill Down reports for outbound campaigns.
Business units in the organizations have started realizing the wealth of information that can be stored due to customer interactions; and importantly benefits of business intelligence based on customer specific data in addition to call center performance data. CUIS-IPCC platform provides an easy way to tag customer data to a call; however summary data collected is based on type of the call and who is answering the call and not related to the customer who is making the call. Often business management needs performance data based on customer specific parameters like campaign, department, location, corporate accounts, age groups etc. For example; Sales manager runs a telemarketing campaign for existing customers in many regions and needs a report to analyze call responses by Region and Account Type. To build such BI reports has been a challenge for Call Center Analysts, Developers and Managers to extract such data, without going through weeks of custom development life cycle.
