Interactive Intelligence and RightNow to Release Integrated Software Solution for Improved Customer Interaction Management
October 28 2009 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Interactive Intelligence (Nasdaq: ININ) and RightNow®
Technologies (Nasdaq: RNOW) are introducing an integrated software
solution for improved customer interaction management.
The integration, with general availability in Q4 2009, combines
the self-service and agent-assisted service capabilities of the
RightNow CX customer experience suite, with the contact center
automation and enterprise IP telephony functionality of the
Interactive Intelligence all-in-one IP communications software
suite, Customer Interaction Center™ (CIC).
The new integration brings the following to the RightNow agent
desktop for increased productivity and improved customer service:
embedded call controls, screen-pop, multichannel queuing and
routing, click-to-dial, and unified reporting.
“By having a unified desktop for agents and business users to
manage interactions and data, companies can decrease call
processing time, increase call resolution rates, and improve
overall customer satisfaction,” said RightNow’s chief solution
officer, David Vap. “Interactive Intelligence’s single-platform
architecture further adds operational value by simplifying
installation, administration, and customization.”
“In addition to streamlining the agent-assisted customer
experience, this joint solution helps IT teams reduce deployment
time for faster ROI by eliminating the need for custom
integration,” said Interactive Intelligence vice president of
business development, Bill Gildea. “With our respective engagement
teams aligned, joint clients are assured they’re receiving solid
customer experience solutions backed by dedicated experts.”
The integration includes the following functionality:
- Embedded call controls:
From the RightNow agent desktop, users can quickly access full
Interactive Intelligence client functionality for call and e-mail
management (record, hold, transfer, mute, etc.), as well as
presence management, company directory look-up, and more.
- Screen-pop: Adds the
ability to screen-pop a pre-filled record, or if the number is not
already stored, pop a blank screen for quick data-entry; includes
customization tool for automated, multi-step screen-pop tasks.
- Multichannel queuing and
routing: Enables calls and e-mails to be routed via a universal
queue and managed from within a single screen.
- Click-to-dial: Easy
“mouse-click” dialing eliminates the need to manually copy and
paste numbers into a computer-based softphone, or dial from a desk
phone.
- Unified Reporting: Call
and e-mail interactions tracked by the Interactive Intelligence
reporting feature are now stored in the RightNow database so users
get a unified view of interactions directly from the RightNow
“media bar.”
