Makes agent schedules more accessible and easy to use.

What is most valuable?

Assigning exceptions so that I can assign to multiple people across more than one day.

How has it helped my organization?

Makes agent schedules more accessible and easy to use.

What needs improvement?

It sometimes needs quite clunky work arounds for certain things, e.g. If I add exceptions into agent schedules such as holidays or long term sickness, it's not easy to just delete them. I would like to see an option where you can delete the exceptions and the schedule reverts back to how it was before (breaks and lunch etc) without having to run the entire departments shifts.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used this contact center optimization solution for nearly 2 years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

No.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It has crashed a couple of times but may be a server issue.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Change of tactics.

How was the initial setup?

Yes, but I wasn't initially involved.

The dynamic scheduling functionality allows the agents to be more empowered. The day to day scheduling functions take too many steps.

Valuable Features

Calabrio is open to feedback and so far has reacted quickly with changes.

Improvements to My Organization

The dynamic scheduling functionality allows the agents to be more empowered which was not an option on our previous tool.

Room for Improvement

I think Calabrio has a lot of potential but the day to day scheduling functions take too many steps. I'd like for their product developers & decision makers to work in our call center for a week using the tool. I think it would give them a great perspective of where to go forward. The dashboard has potential but it's hard for management to use it as is. I've heard some user interface changes are in process so I hope to see improvement in the next big release.

Use of Solution

One year.

Deployment Issues

Yes, but Calabrio has been responsive to challenges.

Customer Service and Technical Support

They have been very knowledgeable and responsive.
